Experience Italian Ceramic and Porcelain Design at CERSAIE 2025

The International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings returns to Bologna in September

CERSAIE, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, is set to take place in Bologna, Italy—the heart of the Italian ceramics industry—September 22nd-26th.

With 600-plus international manufacturer exhibitors, attracting more than 100,000 visitors from over 160 countries annually, CERSAIE offers hospitality design professionals a first-to-market preview of groundbreaking trends and new cutting-edge ceramic and porcelain tile products, plus the opportunity to engage directly with leading manufacturers in the industry.

From ultra-thin ceramic slabs to sleek, wall-mounted porcelain sinks and washbasins, attendees can expect to discover thousands of new introductions that cater to high-traffic hospitality environments—including luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, and more—and prioritize durability, hygiene, and high-end design.

Supreme Hedonism by Flaviker

New products at this year’s show will also coincide with the latest designs and colors currently dominating the industry. Expect bold colorways, sculptural textures, and patterns inspired by nature, heritage craft, and geometric precision. Italian tile also continues to evolve with expressive, contemporary styles—like Art Deco-inspired motifs, technologically-advanced backlit slabs and finishes, and full-wall cladding that delivers visual drama with minimal maintenance.

With sustainability top of mind, Italian tile also stands out as one of the most eco-conscious, health-forward, and highly durable surfacing options for hospitality projects. Crafted from natural raw materials and free of PVC and VOCs, it offers a responsible, long-lasting solution without compromising on performance or design.

Italian manufacturers are also at the forefront of sustainable production, implementing closed-loop recycling systems, water and energy conservation practices, and meeting rigorous standards through certifications such as LEED, EPD, Greenguard, and Declare. An increasing number are also achieving B Corp certification, reinforcing the Italian ceramics industry’s deep commitment to both environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

In addition to product previews, CERSAIE offers an expertly programmed seminar series, with a robust slate of learning opportunities from acclaimed international speakers. As the only international design fair to have hosted 13 Pritzker Prize-winning speakers, the 2025 edition will once again feature programs like Building, Dwelling, Thinking, which offers a dynamic lineup of conferences, panels, and lectures led by some of the most respected names in the industry. Visitors can also explore Tiling Town, a 4,305-square-foot space with live demonstrations showcasing the latest large-format tile installation techniques.

Beyond the show itself, visitors will be immersed in the rich cultural charm and architectural heritage of Bologna. Renowned as Italy’s culinary capital, the city offers a chance to explore its historic streetscapes, iconic porticos—protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and its vibrant, eclectic atmosphere.
