Impressions Left Behind

In the yearly conference of international ceramic tile brilliance that is Cersaie, art – like everything in Italy – was a dominant feature.

This year’s Cersaie exhibition in Bologna was not without a flair unique to 2022. Clear off the two pandemic years, the show celebrated the coming together of industry professionals, creatives and the general public with a generous presence of art. From purpose-driven installations to showcasing product as art, the show painted a global light-hearted theme around the exhibits.
