Ceramics of Italy Spring 2013 Tour
Ceramics of Italy’s booth by NY-based firm e+i studio.
This spring, designers across North America will have three ways to see the newest trend-setting tiles from Italy. Starting at the
Coverings
show in Atlanta (April 29-May 2, 2013), A&D guests will be welcomed to the Italian Pavilion where nearly 80 tile brands will display their latest ceramic innovations. In the heart of the pavilion, Piazza Ceramica—
Ceramics of Italy
’s booth designed by NY-based firm
e+i studio
—will be wrapped in Italian tile with a large open gathering space, piazza-like steps, and a dedicated Italian restaurant/coffee bar.
The exhibit will also include an interactive 20th Anniversary retrospective of inspiring, award-winning projects featuring Italian ceramics. In addition, Ceramics of Italy has created a unique A&D VIP Tour with guided product tours, lunch, an A&D Bag and the chance to win a free trip to
Cersaie
(the world’s largest exhibition of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings in Bologna, Italy). Qualified design trade can register at
