Cersaie 2024: Trends and Innovation in Ceramics

The Cersaie 2024 Fair was an exceptional occasion to explore the major ceramic trends for the coming year. Here we summarize the most important proposals that took center stage at the event:

Large Format Gaining Ground

The most notable trend at this edition of Cersaie was the use of large-format ceramic tiles, reaching impressive sizes. These pieces create homogeneous surfaces with minimal visible joints, enhancing a clean and contemporary design. This format is ideal for spacious, modern spaces, providing a visual continuity and sophistication both in flooring and wall cladding.

Inspiration from Natural Materials

Another strong trend from the leading brands was ceramics inspired by natural materials. Realistic finishes and natural textures are increasingly common for both interiors and exteriors, creating a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The ability of these tiles to replicate the texture and appearance of marble, onyx, and other natural stones allows for refined spaces with a natural touch.

Earthy Colors and Natural Tones

When it comes to finishes, natural colors and tones stood out as the most popular. Terracotta and vibrant green emerged as favorites for modern interior design projects. These tones fill spaces with life and energy, bringing dynamism to any design.

Attention to Detail

While large formats are consolidating their presence, small formats have also made a strong comeback, allowing designers to create personalized decorative details. Small pieces like mosaics are gaining popularity for their ability to offer unique and character-filled designs. This trend is ideal for cladding walls with innovative proposals full of impactful decorative details.

Geometric Modulation and Multi-format

Modular design was another key trend at Cersaie 2024. Compositions combining different formats within the same series allow for personalized and dynamic spaces. This trend not only offers versatility but is also an excellent way to highlight textures and patterns in any environment.

Sustainability as a Central Focus

Sustainability took center stage at this edition. Brands demonstrated their commitment to reducing environmental impact with a strong focus on recycling technologies and processes to achieve eco-friendly production.

Customization and Tailored Production

The growing demand for personalized solutions has led manufacturers to offer products tailored to the specific needs of each client. Whether through unique pieces or the creation of personalized spaces, brands are betting on individualization as a key trend.

Complementary Trends

  • Geometric mosaics or those with soft curves, like stars and petals, offer delicate and elegant finishes in natural colors.
  • Ceramic latticework with reliefs is a key innovation in recent architectural design, adding depth and texture to interiors.
  • In bathroom furniture, leading companies complement their environments and collections with ceramic-based sinks and countertops, bringing versatility to spaces.
  • There is also a focus on creating spaces characterized by a sense of verticality. This is achieved through grooves and vertical cuts applied to large-format ceramic bases, creating slender and sophisticated environments.

Without a doubt, Cersaie 2024 was an exceptional platform to showcase the most innovative trends in the ceramic sector. The growing customization, environmental care, and the creation of sophisticated spaces evoking nature are just some of the most interesting trends that will continue to deepen in the coming years.
