1. Sustainable development
Our tagline this year — “Let’s open a new era!”

Designers increasingly attract the attention of society to the ideas of sustainable development. This was the subject of conferences and seminars during the exhibition. Architects don’t just promote the idea of “careful use of resources” — both raw materials and energy for their production, but also care about the environment. For example, an architect Anupama Kundu (pictured) pays great attention to research and experimentation with materials that have minimal environmental impact and relevant socio-economic context in which they are used.

The theme of sustainability has significantly emerged on the stands of the companies-manufacturers. They devise all sorts of methods to combat pollution indoors, using recycled and recyclable materials. Almost every shows of series, created from by-products of production (to minimise energy consumption and waste).

This applies, for example, to a collection of porcelain tiles from Casalgrande Padana Limpha (pictured) with technology self-cleaning Bio: for the destruction of pollutants in the air and decomposition of dirt deposited on the surface of the tiles use photocatalysis (the acceleration of chemical reactions caused by sunlight). According to the company, approximately 1,000 sq. meters of this granite clean the air as well as the groves the size of a football field. One thousand meters of veneer completely eliminates nitrogen oxide emitted approximately 70 cars per day.

2. Not only for the bathroom

One of the important trends — such as tiles went outside the bathroom to play a major role in other spaces of the house. Thanks to the almost infinite variety of shapes, colors, and pattern, tile can be used as design elements throughout the house. For example, as a creative headboard in the bedroom or wall panels made of thin porcelain tiles in the hallway.
