The hottest looks on the expo floor came straight from the popular consciousness and prevalent styles. There were skins and bling, precious metals and rare stones, sleek minimalism and ornamentation to the max, fresh candy colors and graphic black and white, photorealistic prints and traditional damask designs, earthy natural influences, and tons of texture, pattern, and dimension—in scales from small to large. Vertical surfaces were everywhere, too, as tile manufacturers introduced all sorts of fabulously inventive and decorative options to pave the wall. According to Donato Grosser, a longtime consultant to the ceramic tile industry who presented one of the 70 free seminar sessions during the four-day international trade show, cited in his predictions that the future of the ceramic tile market in the U.S. is increasingly at the high end and strongly becoming a fashion business. Customization, and the luxury looks that end-users demand, is becoming a greater reality thanks to technological innovations, such as the water-laser jet cut. Ceramic tiles are putting on a stone face, these days, mimicking everything from granite, marble, and basalt to flagstone, schist, and shale. Many of them are textured, such as an elegantly routed version from Tau. Porcelanosa, in its L’Antic Colonial Collection, has stone mosaics, large, shale-like pavers with textured surfaces, and even mini bricks, called Brick Butan, which can be used to construct a vertical surface that resembles traditional Pennsylvania fieldstone. A reverence for wood was everywhere, with ceramic styles so realistically resembling wood grains and species, from bamboo to mahogany, cherry, maple, and teak that showgoers were doing double-takes. But, with the advantages of ceramic vs. wood so compelling—resistant to moisture, bug infestations and wear, and requiring minimal upkeep—the ceramic editions were winning fans easily. Among the most impressive exhibitors of this genre were Caesar, whose Feel collection was shown in a variety of shapes from square tiles to planks and trims, in colors that range from the palest neutrals through such saturated shades as jade, ocean, and moonlight, with the option of insets glass strips that add both design interest and a little luminosity to the surface underfoot. Exelle was offering Yacu, a wood-like tile with a Japanese feel, which it is showing with Decoro Flower, a decorative tile with a floral pattern influenced by both William Morris and Japanese textile design.   Ceramic tile  |   Funded in 1979 in Tijucas, Santa Catarina, Brazil, Portobello is one of the most important ceramic coverings companies in the world.
