At Cersaie there was a rather unusual push from exhibitors on bevelled tiles. And most who were there believed that there is a revival on hand. Certainly a timeless look, bevelled tiles are definitely a current trend in ceramic tile design. It undoubtedly adds dimension, depth and interest to a subway tile pattern.
The textures and geometric shapes of bevelled tile give designers flexibility to take classic looks and recreate them in new, interesting ways. Available in a wide variety of colours and sizes, bevelled looks were seen en masse at Cersaie and other lesser tile shows held over the last six months.
