You’ve Got Wallpaper

Despite a smaller number than expected of large format specialists at Cevisama, there was still plenty of wallpaper-effect tile action going on.

A beautiful blue-green taking the world by storm, this gorgeous colour was everywhere at Cevisama.

Toon Town Terrazzo

The first trend spotted amongst the countless stands at Cevisama was terrazzo twisted toon-style.

These playful designs offer up the same randomised aesthetic as classic terrazzo but just makes it a little more… fun. Perhaps the … Continue reading Toon Town Terrazzo
