Our manufacturers at and around Cersaie 2026
For us at VITALE TILES, Cersaie is particularly interesting because many of the Italian manufacturers represented in our range use this period to present new collections, surfaces and technologies.
At the same time, Cersaie Week extends far beyond the exhibition grounds in Bologna. Throughout the ceramic district around Sassuolo, Fiorano Modenese and Modena, manufacturers open their showrooms, factories and presentation spaces to architects, designers and international partners.
This means that the latest tile trends are not only visible directly at Cersaie. Some manufacturers deliberately present their most important innovations in their own showrooms, where ceramic surfaces can be experienced as part of complete architectural environments.
Among the brands particularly relevant to VITALE TILES are Italgraniti, Marazzi, Florim, Panaria Ceramica, Gigacer, FAP Ceramiche, Ragno, Polis and Studio Le Nid.
Italgraniti: Italian stone interpretations are becoming increasingly realistic
Italgraniti is one of the manufacturers that is particularly relevant to us when analysing the tile trends of 2026 and 2027.
The company focuses strongly on high-quality Italian porcelain stoneware for architecture, interior design and demanding residential and commercial projects.
One of the developments that can clearly be seen in current Italgraniti collections is the move towards calmer and more natural stone interpretations.
Collections inspired by limestone, travertine, quartzite, marble and mineral surfaces are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Instead of exaggerated graphics, the focus is shifting towards subtle colour variations, fine textures and surfaces that look convincing even across large areas.
This reflects one of the strongest trends we see for 2027.
A few years ago, heavily veined marble effects often dominated premium ceramic design. Today, softer limestone, travertine, sandstone and warm sedimentary stone effects are becoming increasingly important.
Collections such as Origins, Natural, Calcis, I Cementi, Marble Touch and Travertino show how broad this development has become.
Warm beige, cream, greige and natural grey tones are therefore likely to remain among the most important tile colours for 2027.
Italgraniti is also particularly interesting for projects that connect indoor and outdoor spaces. Many collections are available with different surfaces and thicknesses, allowing similar designs to continue from living areas onto terraces or other outdoor zones.
Marazzi: From small decorative tiles to large ceramic slabs
Marazzi is one of the best-known names in the Italian ceramic industry and plays an important role in our range.
What makes Marazzi particularly interesting is the enormous breadth of its ceramic portfolio.
At its showroom at the historic company headquarters in Sassuolo, Marazzi presents current collections ranging from small decorative wall tiles and mosaics to porcelain stoneware, outdoor solutions and large ceramic slabs.
This diversity reflects several of the most important tile trends for 2026 and 2027.
On one side, large ceramic surfaces continue to grow in importance. Large slabs make it possible to create calmer interiors with fewer grout lines and can increasingly be used for walls, furniture, tables, kitchen worktops and other architectural applications.
On the other side, small colourful tiles with intentionally irregular and handcrafted appearances are also becoming more important.
Marazzi Lume is a good example. Its glossy small-format tiles feature noticeable colour variation and a surface inspired by handmade ceramics.
These types of tiles are increasingly combined with large, calm floor surfaces.
At the opposite end of the spectrum are Marazzi's large ceramic slabs, including collections developed for kitchens, furniture and interior design.
This contrast between small expressive tiles and large continuous surfaces is likely to remain one of the most interesting tile trends in 2027.
At VITALE TILES, the Marazzi range includes collections such as Lume, Allmarble, Mystone, Grande, Treverk, Zellige and many more.
Florim 2026: New products presented in the Florim Gallery
Florim is taking a slightly different approach during Cersaie 2026.
Rather than relying exclusively on a traditional exhibition stand, the manufacturer presents its innovations during Cersaie Week at its own headquarters in Fiorano Modenese.
This approach fits perfectly with the transformation currently taking place in the ceramic industry.
Tiles are increasingly being presented not as isolated products but as part of complete architectural and interior concepts.
The Florim Gallery is an extensive exhibition environment where ceramics, architecture, lighting and spatial design are combined.
Visitors can see how porcelain stoneware can be used not only for traditional floors and walls but also for furniture, kitchens, façades and complete interior concepts.
Florim therefore represents one of the clearest tile trends for 2027:
Large-format porcelain stoneware is increasingly evolving from a conventional tile into a versatile architectural material.
Large ceramic slabs and different material thicknesses allow matching surfaces to be used for floors, walls, kitchen worktops, furniture and architectural details.
For modern bathrooms, open-plan kitchens and sophisticated interiors, this creates a particularly consistent visual language.
At VITALE TILES, Florim has become an important part of our selection, covering marble effects, natural stone effects, concrete surfaces, terracotta interpretations and large-format porcelain stoneware.
Panaria Ceramica: Materials for complete living environments
Panaria is another manufacturer that demonstrates how the role of ceramic surfaces is changing.
Instead of viewing tiles simply as individual products, collections are increasingly designed as complete material systems.
Stone, cement, wood, colour and smaller decorative formats can be combined within coordinated interior concepts.
This allows a bathroom, for example, to combine a calm stone-effect floor with a more expressive wall tile without creating an inconsistent design.
The same principle applies to open-plan living spaces.
A ceramic surface can continue from the living room to the kitchen and, with suitable outdoor versions, even onto the terrace.
Collections such as Revel illustrate this development particularly well. Natural stone aesthetics are combined with different colours, formats, surfaces and technical versions.
This makes it possible to create visually connected indoor and outdoor spaces.
For 2027, we therefore expect manufacturers to continue moving away from isolated tile collections towards complete material worlds.
Gigacer: Architecture, materiality and new technologies
Gigacer is particularly interesting for architects and customers looking for modern, restrained surfaces.
The Italian manufacturer works extensively with large-format porcelain stoneware, natural colours and material-focused designs.
Many Gigacer collections are deliberately understated.
Instead of using highly decorative graphics, the focus is often on mineral structures, natural colours and surfaces that function as part of the architecture.
Genesis, for example, interprets Portland Stone and offers different visual directions inspired by the way natural stone can be cut.
Other collections go even further.
With Materica, Gigacer explores ceramic material itself instead of relying only on a printed surface decoration.
Dune also demonstrates how digital powder technologies can create depth and structure within the ceramic material.
This could become increasingly important over the next few years.
The question is no longer simply:
“What does the tile look like?”
Increasingly, the question becomes:
“How is the surface actually created?”
This combination of architecture, material research and ceramic technology makes Gigacer particularly relevant when looking at tile trends beyond 2026.
FAP Ceramiche: Colour, decoration and tactile surfaces
While many manufacturers focus strongly on stone effects and large formats, FAP Ceramiche represents another important side of current tile trends.
The brand works intensively with wall design, colour, relief structures, decoration and combinations of different materials.
Natural colours remain important, but they are increasingly complemented by stronger accents, glossy surfaces and three-dimensional effects.
This demonstrates why modern tile trends can no longer be reduced to one dominant aesthetic.
Minimalism remains relevant.
But minimalism is gaining more texture, colour and personality.
Matt surfaces can be combined with glossy details. Calm tiles can be contrasted with three-dimensional decorations. Terracotta, natural stone and cement interpretations can sit next to stronger colour accents.
This development is particularly interesting for bathrooms, kitchen backsplashes, niches and feature walls.
Studio Le Nid: Hand craftsmanship as a counterpoint to industrial large-format ceramics
Studio Le Nid occupies a special position within our range.
The Sicilian manufacturer from Paternò, near Mount Etna, produces handcrafted majolica and combines traditional Sicilian ceramic craftsmanship with contemporary design.
This represents an interesting countertrend to highly industrialised large-format production.
The more precise ceramic manufacturing becomes, the more interest there also seems to be in products where small variations are deliberately preserved.
Hand-painted tiles, differences in glaze, colour variations and visible signs of production give surfaces individuality.
For this reason, we do not expect the tile trends of 2027 to be dominated exclusively by large formats.
The future is more likely to combine both worlds:
Highly precise large-format slabs for calm architectural surfaces and intentionally handcrafted ceramics for expressive details.
Polis and other Italian manufacturers
Polis represents another important part of the Italian ceramic landscape.
Manufacturers of this type are important because current tile trends do not exist only in the premium large-format segment.
Traditional formats, decorative tiles, robust porcelain stoneware and technically versatile products remain an essential part of the market.
At VITALE TILES, our goal is therefore not simply to follow individual trends but to cover different areas of Italian ceramic design.
Our assortment ranges from Italgraniti and Marazzi to Florim, Panaria, Gigacer, FAP Ceramiche, Ragno, Polis and handcrafted ceramics from Studio Le Nid.
This allows us to offer everything from modern industrial porcelain stoneware to traditional ceramic craftsmanship.
What our manufacturers reveal about the tile trends of 2027
Looking at these manufacturers together reveals a clear pattern.
Italgraniti demonstrates the continuing development of sophisticated natural stone interpretations and warm architectural surfaces.
Marazzi combines large ceramic slabs with small, colourful and handcrafted-looking formats.
Florim pushes large-format ceramic surfaces further into architecture, furniture and interior design.
Panaria combines stone, cement, wood and decorative formats into complete living environments.
Gigacer explores material, ceramic bodies and new manufacturing technologies.
FAP brings colour, relief and decoration back into bathrooms and interiors.
Studio Le Nid shows that authentic craftsmanship and individuality remain highly relevant.
This diversity is likely to define the tile trends of 2027.
There is no longer one dominant style.
Instead, natural stone effects, large formats, small decorative tiles, colour, tactile structures and handcrafted elements are increasingly being combined.
And this may be the most important development visible around Cersaie 2026:
Ceramic surfaces are becoming more versatile than ever before.
