Cersaie 2025 Trends & Atlas Concorde

The 42nd edition of Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings held at BolognaFiere from 22 to 26 September, once again proved to be an international reference point for the world of ceramic tiles and bathroom furnishings, attracting exhibitors and visitors from all over the world. "One Space - Excellence on stage" was the concept behind Atlas Concorde's proposals for this edition. A product ecosystem that populated and coordinated the multiple spaces of the stand, hosting the five new collections of surfaces and furnishing objects created through excellent collaborations with architecture and interior design studios.

Trends Several trends were confirmed at Cersaie this year, ranging from emotion to function, inspiration to surprise. A visit to the Atlas Concorde stand offered an engaging insight into the latest drivers of innovation and trends in the sector.

Contemporary Architectural Language Contemporary living styles are increasingly characterised by a design approach that prioritises natural elements. With Boost Vision, Atlas Concorde presented a collection at Cersaie in five natural colours with a dual material soul, blending the rough compactness of concrete with the sensory texture of stone. Boost Vision is part of the "The City – Spaces designed by Park" project, a coherent urban narrative where each part contributes to the overall meaning of the project. This integrated design system is inspired by Landscape Design, in which porcelain stoneware surfaces interact seamlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces with a strong architectural impact.

Expressive Colours The desire to brighten up spaces with colour is an important trend confirmed by growing interest from industry professionals and consumers alike. Within the Boost Vision collection by Atlas Concorde, the Corten, Brass and Steel variants emphasise the refined charm of bright and vibrant metallic colours. These new colour palettes perfectly complement the soft colours in the Boost Vision range, creating a highly evocative effect.

Soul Wellness There is also growing demand for coverings, especially decorations, as tactile surfaces for intimate sensory pleasure and a sense of relaxation in private or public spaces, such as hotels or spas. The collaboration between Atlas Concorde and Alberto Apostoli of Studio Apostoli, known for incorporating the concept of wellness into his projects, has resulted in the new Nyra collection, which focuses on research and design in terms of wellness architecture through a biophilic approach. Nyra's 3D decorations,inspired by the stone effect in soft colours, offer a refined aesthetic in which the geometries create harmonious and relaxing spaces that induce a spontaneous sense of tactile and visual softness.

Timeless Flair The timeless elegance of the marble effect is now an established trend, particularly with the confirmation of Travertine. The refinement and uniqueness of this marble has been revisited by Atlas Concorde in partnership with HBA, a renowned design studio in the hospitality sector, with the new Marvel T collection available in four variants: Navona, Halo, Romano and Stone Veil. Its exclusive 3D surfaces recall the inimitable mastery of Italian sculptors working with travertine marble, the most iconic stone in Italian tradition.

Fabulous Scenography In architectural spaces, considering the aesthetics of wall and floor coverings means enhancing and emphasising the identity of the space itself, like a backdrop with strongly characterised features. The large porcelain stoneware slabs of the Marvel Epic collection, inspired by seven precious natural stones, captured the attention of visitors with a wow effect. Displayed on the walls like paintings to be admired, each slab appeared as an epic scene capable of transforming the space into an extraordinary visual experience.

Pure & Essential Style The growing appeal of wood-effect porcelain stoneware is based on multiple elements, on the one hand its natural refinement and on the other the sense of warmth and tactile pleasure it evokes. Innovation is pushing towards forms of uniformity and aesthetic purity for contemporary-style textures. Presented at Cersaie 2025 by Atlas Concorde, Log Select is the latest addition to the LOG World collections, created in collaboration with ITLAS, the company specialising in natural wood made in Italy. It is a reinterpretation of oak characterised by clean lines and soft, knot-free grain. There are three styles: Pure, Swan and Flamed.
