CASACOR was there and, below, we separated the main trends that took place at the fair, check it out!

1. Sustainability

Major brands that presented their portfolios at the fair put on a show when it came to practicality, beauty and sustainability. The search for greater comfort in everyday life, driven by the legacy left by the pandemic, materialized in products. One of the good examples of sustainability is Cosentino. Thanks to HybriQ® technology, materials can be manufactured with 99% reused water and 100% renewable electrical energy, with no particle emissions and zero water discharge. The company also uses a new hybrid formulation of mineral raw materials and recycled materials.

2. Signed design

Design and technology define the aesthetics and functionality of Deca 's " Detailism " campaign. Under the premise of transforming the experience of living design in everyday life, the brand presented its new launch in sinks designed by Arthur Casas . Following the conviction that architecture has the purpose of serving people , the new line applies this Casas precept in its creations. Thus, the new countertop sink brings an innovative proposal in which metal was applied to the center of the sink, avoiding splashes on the countertop. The piece also accommodates an optional accessory kit , in porcelain and wood, prioritizing comfort.

3. Colors in crockery and coverings

The power of connection and comfort provided by colors now extends to coverings. Making the home a place of experiences, connections with family, self-knowledge and refuge. The china and metal industry has already understood that bringing comfort and countless possibilities are the new horizons for good living. Therefore, the launches prioritize contact with nature, comfort and a lot of practicality from bathrooms to lavatories and from kitchens to gourmet areas.

4. Maxiformats

Another new feature is the format upgrade of the Via Durini Line. The stone has gained a cosmopolitan feel by being crafted in a smooth texture and neutral tones. The delicacy of the surface balances the strength of the material and renews the options for indoor environments. Available in 4 tones, both in the 90x90 cm format and in the exclusive format for walls, 90x270 cm, Via Durini expresses the elegance of the great European cities. The line receives the new 60x120 cm format to expand the possibilities of use and create sophisticated and timeless environments.

Created by the National Association of Ceramic and Porcelain Manufacturers (Anfacer), the " Best in Show " award is in its seventh edition. This year, the award was curated by journalist and design critic Marcelo Lima, who selects the finalist products so that the jury, composed of prominent names in national design and architecture, can choose the winners.
