The beauty of ceramic tile is primarily in the fact that it can imitate almost any natural or artificial material – old new trend from Cersaie 2015. In addition of course, maxi size – 3.6×1.6 m presented as the largest dimension of this year’s fair!

Cersaie 2015 confirmed some of the existing global trends in design of ceramic tiles. „With photo-realistic design, the emphasis is on the final result: dimension of tile, 3D relief and ending effects. The tile replaces natural materials, both visual and tactile, and the final value of a top-notch is a presentation of the lifestyle that is representing. In the fierce competition the most convincing wins! Hexagon appears in all sizes and color combinations, textures and patterns, often in metallic design or the antique effects”, said Katica Petkov, director of marketing and development at Keramika Modus, and added that the mosaics are represented in each of the trends, cement occurs in all shades and designs, as the basis of industrial style and all types of stone are still imperative in the design. Wood is one special story, Petkov said: It occurs in two extremes, or as perfectly smooth, or as rustic. Often is combined with marble for elegance or with cotto for achieving warm atmosphere.”
