  Ceramic Tiles of Italy is getting the message out about the innovative and widespread uses of Italian tile. In addition to their institutional presence at AIA and NeoCon, the Italians will sponsor seminars at each show. On May 17 at 7:00AM, the final morning of the AIA Convention & Expo, award-winning contemporary architect Richard Fleishman will present: A Fresh Approach to Educational Planning & Design: Design/Cost Impact of Innovative Exterior/Interior Porcelain Applications on Educational Facilities. Less than one month later, Ceramic Tiles of Italy will offer two symposiums as part of the NeoCon general conference program. On June 9, the opening day of the show, speakers Michael P. Johnson, Michael P. Johnson Design Studios; Dan Emmel, Tile X Design; and Paul Shahriari, Green Mind Inc will address the NeoCon audience on the topic of ceramic ventilated wall facades and their sustainable characteristics. Later in the week, Edie Cohen, Deputy Editor of Interior Design Magazine will lead a panel of distinguished hospitality designers in a discussion entitled: ospitality is Hot for Tile. The lecture is scheduled for June 11 at 1:00PM.
 
  Coverings Preview: Inspiration, Innovation and Information Await at the Italian Pavilion  
  Coverings is set to take place from April 29-May 2 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The Italian Pavilion will be alive with the sights, sounds and aromas of this magnificent country. From their trendsetting products to their well thought-out displays, Italian tile exhibitors are known for consistently raising the bar (and serving espressos in almost every booth).  As a tribute to the ever-growing metallic trend, Ceramic Tiles of Italy's popular piazza and satellite cafe, designed by Bernard Tschumi Architects, will be clad in himmering gold and silver tiles.  Also be sure to check out the Ceramic Tiles of Italy Design Competition award exhibition and the Italians' raffle promotion.
 
  Cersaie Report - What's Hot in Italian Tile  
  New colors were one of the big stories at Cersaie 2007. At the spring tradeshows, the palette consisted of shades of pink, green and orange. Now the industry is leaning towards a more sophisticated color scheme of rich red, black and white. New shapes including a diamond-shaped mosaic tile and fashion-forward textures with looks that range from crinkled leather to carbon fiber were introduced at the show this year. The Italians are always at the forefront of technology and have pioneered new cutting-edge methods that have the whole industry buzzing. read more
