Trends in ceramic tile

Last week I attended Cevisama, the tile show in Valencia, Spain, I was a guest of Tile of Spain, a marketing organization representing Spanish tile makers. I was part of a delegation of architects, designers and journalists. Following are some scenes from the show floor.

Booths (or stands, as they call them in Europe) are as large as houses.

This wood inlay is actually ceramic tile. The design is ink-jetted on to the surface.

This is at a booth, not a bar.
