A sneak peek from Cersaie

A selection of the new products we saw at the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, on stage in Bologna until September 25th
We have identified seven new products presented at Cersaie, the quintessential fair dedicated to coverings, ceramics, and bathroom furnishings, to explore the latest industry trends. What is most striking is a return to the past – to traditional techniques and materials like terracotta and Venetian terrazzo – reinterpreted with a contemporary language. Inspiration from nature – its colors, veins, and especially textures – remains a key driver for infusing spaces with a sense of total well-being. And no less important is material innovation: ultra-high-performance surfaces that conceal an increasingly sustainable core.

Breccia Rosa by Fiandre

Newform | Bellavita Its name already holds its vision: a collection that preserves the memory of classic design but filters it through a modern sensibility. Bellavita is the new faucet collection from Newform that evokes the refined imagery of the "Dolce Vita": the architecture overlooking the Croisette, the discreet charm of international high society, and interiors where every element finds its balance. It is a design that emerges from the memory of an "old money" elegance, reinterpreted with a chic and contemporary language.

Fiandre | Breccia Rosa Fiandre (part of Iris Ceramica Group) draws from the natural charm, nuances, and material intensity of stone. The result is Breccia Rosa, a surface defined by its depth of color and the rhythm of its veins. Shades of pink are crossed by touches of ivory and terracotta, creating a rich and dynamic composition that conveys all the expressive force of nature. This aesthetic is also paired with a soft and velvety texture, the Cashmere finish, which further enhances the tactile sensation and material character of the slab.

Crogiolo Terracotto by Marazzi

Marazzi | Crogiolo Terracotto Marazzi looks to the past and reinterprets it with a contemporary eye. The company has launched the new Terracotto collection, directly inspired by artisanal terracotta. It reproduces the traces of manual workmanship and firing through a surface characterized by nuances, chromatic variations, and slight irregularities. But the innovation primarily embraces its composition, made with 60% recycled material, and then its aesthetic, offering a more current and versatile palette: Vanilla, Argilla, Tabacco, Terra, Granata, and Cotto, which can be perfectly paired with the glossy textures of Terralux.

Atlas Concorde | Log Anthology With Log Anthology, Atlas Concorde significantly expands LOG World, the project dedicated to wood-effect porcelain stoneware surfaces. For the first time, the collection moves beyond the dominance of oak and introduces six new wood types – Douglas, Ash, Elm, Teak, Walnut, and Zebrano – each from a different territory and tradition, for a total of 8 wood types and 31 colors in the range. Log Anthology is conceived as a complete system for both indoor and outdoor use: planks, Herringbone laying patterns, large 120x278 slabs, the new 30x120 format for outdoors, and the Frame decor.

Ceramiche Marca Corona | Miniature Alba With the new Miniature Alba collection, Ceramiche Marca Corona introduces the 12×12 cm format to its range for the first time: a compact and versatile solution that can be used for floors, walls, and furniture cladding. Made of porcelain stoneware, Miniature Alba is inspired by hand-worked raw earth, enriched with natural materials like pigments and fine sands. Six shades are available – Loto, Calla, Betulla, Orzo, Iris, and Salice – along with a decor, Casella: a central square relief with a slightly irregular profile that recalls the gesture of handmade craftsmanship.

Cimento | Madre More than a product, Cimento presents an innovative regenerative material technology that rethinks the hydraulic binder through the use of components derived from the recovery of natural residues. It is called Madre: at its core is calcium carbonate from the recovery of eggshells and waste from the industrial processing of grape pomace, sunflower seeds, olive pits, and corn, which are thus transformed into new material resources. It is an evolution that renews the material with a focus on sustainability but also on expressive quality, expanding its structure, texture, shades, and depth.

Ideagroup | Habe New washbasins complete the total-look furnishing project by Ideagroup. These are the Habe washbasins in Khromalite. They are available in three configurations: the countertop Habe Tondo, the freestanding Habe Tondo, and the countertop Habe Ovale, to meet various design and style needs. The aesthetic, formal, and chromatic versatility makes the Habe collection perfectly integrable into residential and contract bathroom environments. The washbasins, available in a fully glossy finish or glossy on the inside and satin on the outside, are presented in the new Khromalite colors: Atlantico, Ambra, and Smeraldo.
