Cersaie 2026

Cersaie 2026: A space for architectural design

The International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings presents the Manifesto for its 2026 edition

Cersaie 2026 will take place from 21-25 Sept 2026 at Bologna, Italy

Cersaie is the foremost international event for designers of ceramic and other surface coverings and bathroom furnishings.

Discover the concept behind Cersaie 2026 through its graphic image: a structured composition that conveys vision, material, colour and the idea of the future.

This symbolism anticipates the spirit of the next edition, inviting you to look beyond the form. Take a closer look, let yourself be inspired and explore its meaning.

A space for architectural design

The visual depicts an abstract architectural landscape where volumes, arches and colour gradients merge with natural elements. This ideal city reflects a multiethnic, constantly evolving society in which different cultures intersect to create new ways of living. The vertical forms hint at fluid, multifunctional spaces, while the trees inserted among the structures underscore the growing need to welcome nature back into our urban world, bringing wellbeing into the built environment.

The natural palette – from warm shades to cooler tones – evokes the variety of identities that coexist in harmony, creating an inclusive and contemporary aesthetic language. The illustration becomes a metaphor for a place open to dialogue, where architecture and nature regenerate one another and offer fresh inspiration for imagining and designing the future.

Cersaie has always promoted training and every year proposes cultural events dedicated to the different target groups of professionals visiting the exhibition: architects, designers, contractors, retailers, installers, interior designers, not forgetting the end consumer.
