Cevisama 2025: what we saw

Nonostante un leggero calo nelle esportazioni ceramiche, il settore ceramico spagnolo ha registrato un incremento produttivo e occupazionale. Le innovazioni ecosostenibili stanno guidando il comparto, grazie all'adozione di pratiche produttive eco-compatibili e tecnologie avanzate per ridurre l'impronta di carbonio

We will remember this year’s edition of Cevisama – the Spanish fair dedicated to the ceramic world, held in Valencia from February 23 to 27 – for the ephemeral installation by interior design studio Cosín Estudio. Their “Materia en Movimiento” transformed the central corridor of the fair into a sensory pathway.

Through innovative use of space, Cosín Estudio created an installation celebrating ceramic tradition by redefining visitor paths and transforming non-exhibition areas into key interaction spaces.

The project’s central element was the suspended pergola at the heart of the hall, which facilitated visual identification from a distance and served as a visual icon for visitors. Other elements – sand-colored carpets to symbolize clays, blue meeting points to represent water, and red resting areas to symbolize the heat of fire – celebrated the world of ceramics, offering an immersive environment for visitor interaction.

The ceramic sector is thus the core of the Spanish fair, which still dedicates an entire pavilion to bathroom sector companies – such as Irsap, Nobili, and Poalgi. For the year 2024, Spanish ceramics faced a slight decrease of 0.9% in total revenue, reaching 4.819 million euros, while exports fell by 2.4% to 3.479 million euros.

However, production saw an increase of 1.3%, reaching 399 million square meters, and employment registered a significant growth of 5.7%, employing 157,900 people. Despite the minor decline in exports and an economically challenging context, companies and designers showcased innovative projects.

In the bathroom and kitchen sector, the Clot kitchen collection by Poalgi, designed by Estudi Manel Molina, elegantly revisits the traditional sink by blending classic aesthetics with modern living demands. The design pays homage to the sink’s historical role, focusing on functionality and design.

Among the tile companies present, some are launching revolutionary innovations reflecting the latest industry trends. Esorelle, for instance, continues to push the boundaries of ceramic design with a new collection that combines minimalist aesthetics with eco-friendly technology.

Meanwhile, ModernTiles has adopted a new sustainable approach using recycled materials, which perfectly suit eco-conscious interior architecture projects. This focus on sustainability is reflected in the growing adoption of eco-friendly production practices and the implementation of advanced technologies to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint.
