A selection of Spain’s top tile manufacturers will present their latest ideas at this year’s Surface Design Show.

The impressive showcase will take place from 6th- 8th February at London’s Business Design Centre. For the latest edition of the Surface Design Show, Tile of Spain, the voice of the Spanish tile industry, has curated a dazzling display of new ceramic and porcelain designs that offer a taste of the eclectic choice of colours, shapes, finishes and formats available for both residential and commercial projects.

The range of looks include sumptuous monocolour seen in Colorker’s Metropolitain and Ceramica Elias’s Esmaltes ranges, as well as innovative uses of colour as advanced digital printing effects allow manufacturers to produce realistic fabric, metal and wood effects whilst also exploring the trend for geometrics. Eye-catching examples include Cevica’s Good Vibes, reminiscent of a quilt of octagonal patchwork pieces, Roca’s Fabric range, evoking the warmth of tweed and Dune’s Transverse with its design of simple diagonal lines in copper, clay, cement and graphite tones.

Many of the tiles on display in the Tile of Spain showcase allow for a variety of placements on a wall, which gives a designer or end-user the opportunity to express fully their creativity and artistically suit materials to the space. Individual tiles are interesting in themselves offering optical effects such as Equipe Ceramica’s Magical range in two different multi-faceted surfaces Umbrella and Star and El Barco’s Summit range whilst Zirconio’s Silver collection has a variety of pleasing textures including Tokio, Prisma and Geo.

Experimental tiles include surfaces developed for the Harmony Collection by Peronda, such as the new Fading range by Japanese design studio Kuramoto that features overlapping patterns and finishes. Also innovative is Zirconio’s Silver Prisma format which playfully uses geometry to create a gentle undulating surface of softened diagonals. Both surfaces are visually challenging because of their sense of movement.

Manufactured in Spain and widely available in the UK, these wonderful new products embody the spirit of an industry that prides itself on proposing beautiful, meaningful and high-performance solutions to flooring, wall coverings, furnishing and external cladding.
