In other news, preparations are underway for Cersaie 2024, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings. Due to be held in Bologna, Italy from 23rd–27th September, this year Cersaie will focus on all areas of architectural design from residential spaces to large-scale contract projects, from private construction to expansive urban spaces.

The concept behind the graphic design for Cersaie 2024 is the importance of architectural design and the idea of interpersonal relationships generated with architectural spaces.
