I am grateful to my colleagues at Novita in New York for this informed take on today’s top tile trends, which they have produced having synthesised the very best of the new ranges displayed by Italian manufacturers at Coverings.  While it is true that Cersaie remains the foremost tile showcase of the year, at Atlanta there was evidence that the top Italian manufacturers have completely recovered from any post-2008 torpor to innovate and launch new products throughout the year, particularly in advance of important North American trade shows like Coverings and ICFF.
