From the masterplan to the recovery of existing buildings, the intervention on the JW Marriot Venice Resort & Spa by Matteo Thun & Partners + Luca Colombo was constantly inspired by a holistic vision and considered as a harmonious whole, paying attention to every single detail.

Tile industry veteran, Dave Godlewski, vice president of the ceramic division of The Belknap White Group (BWG), shares some interesting outlooks on tile trends for 2020

Tile trends are constantly evolving. New colorways, patterns, textures and formats are being introduced each year, which give designers more inspiration and motivation to utilize tile products in their projects. Tile manufacturers are also working hard to craft innovative, unique designs to cater to every type of space.

This product showcase features new porcelain, ceramic and glass tile collections from American Olean, Artaic, Cotto d’Este, Daltile, Emser Tile, Karen Pearse Global Direct, Marazzi USA, Mediterranea, Nemo Tile + Stone, Shaw, SomerTile and Walker Zanger.

Highlighting tile products from ABK Group, Artistic Tile, Crossville, Daltile, Ege Seramik, Emilgroup, Emser Tile, Fincibec Group, Infinity Surfaces, Island Stone, Lunada Bay Tile, MSI Surfaces, Nemo Tile + Stone, Realonda Ceramica, SomerTile, and Walker Zanger.

Mimicking the natural appearance of oak wood, SomerTile's Tribeka Hex Brown 8 5/8" x 9 7/8" porcelain floor and wall tile emulates rustic beauty with an abstract twist. This hexagon-shaped tile transforms any space into a work of art through triangular patterns reminiscent of Art Deco style.

The eternal charm of wood, with its naturalness, grain and color shades, is reflected in the Sequoia collection by Realonda Ceramica, and shown in different formats and reliefs. The 40- x 120-cm rectified porcelain is inspired by the warmth of the Nordic style with thin and irregular wood strips.

Hollywood fuses Old World glamour with contemporary rustic tones for a distinct wood-look tile in Emser Tile’s new Hollywood series. Beige and Oak colorations recall the classic warm look of aged wood, while Blue and Taupe feature cool undertones.

Daltile’s new RevoTile is a spectacular game-changer for the tile industry. It is a revolutionary, patented, floating floor system that installs two times faster than traditional tile. RevoTile installs in just three easy steps: place underlayment, click tiles together and grout.
