Decocer is set to shine at Cersaie 2026 with Earth in Motion: a concept by architect Héctor Ruiz Velázquez that transforms small-format ceramics into architecture.  This project continues the award-winning theme presented at Cersaie in 2025 and Coverings in 2026.

The material folds, undulates, … Continue reading Earth in Motion concept distinguishes Decocer at Cersaie

Casalgrande Padana’s Elements captures a hot trend

Elements, a new porcelain stoneware collection by Casalgrande Padana, combines three different textures – Essence (wood effect), Pebbles (pebble pattern), and Texture (soft spatula strokes and cloudy effects) – that all share harmonious tones and modular formats.

Cersaie’s Textured Stone

Marked with natural imperfections, decorated with carvings, and shapes in formats both little and large, textured stone offers a deep seam to mine when it comes to tile design. These are the few I collected at Cersaie. Alchemy and Deco Pierre Irregularly ridged with scored lines, Peronda‘s Alchemy and Porcelanosa‘s Deco Pierre take a similar approach to adding texture to stone.

You’d be hard pressed to find any tiles with the same rich character and enticing style. … Continue reading Le Nid Knockout
