Saucing new materials

From 23 – 27 September, Cersaie will once again offer up a Bolognese style feast to architects, designers, manufacturers and retailers from all over Europe and beyond. And with all those tiles around, you won’t need to worry about spilling your tomato sauce.

Guests this year include pioneer of the green architecture movement, Emilio Ambasz, as well as champion of ‘low cost and easy to find’, Felipe Assadi who will be giving a talk as part of the “building, dwelling, thinking” programme.

And with various new sections this year, as well as the city's Design Week taking place, there will be no shortage of action in Bologna this September.

Chilean architect Felipe Assadi among the guests at Cersaie 2019

Chilean architect Felipe Assadi is the first guest to have been invited to speak at Cersaie 2019 as part of the “building, dwelling, thinking” cultural programme. He will take part in a conference at 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday 25 September in the Architecture Gallery during the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings.

Feeling it

They say cleanliness is next to godliness. But nakedness is next to cleanliness, too. In the bathroom, bodies are laid bare, making this interior-architectural typology the most important of all as far as material choice is concerned.

VitrA Tile manufactures some 4000 varieties of ceramic, porcelain and glass tiles for building interiors and exteriors, terracing and swimming pools. VitrA Tile is also committed to material innovation. Take Cementmix, an integrated cement-inspired system that adds value to the appearance of concrete via harmonised colours, calming textures and terrazzo options.

Oakland, meanwhile, delivers contemporary textures that are inspired by wood and possess a timeless, natural quality, while Urbanwood provides a more industrial feel.
