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.

So it begs the obvious question – is this a revival, or has it always been here? Or have European tile manufacturers conjured up another masterpiece in marketing? (personally, I think it’s always been here – I’ve seen quite a few in award entries for one)
Let us know your thoughts…..
