A Cersaie 2007 promotional poster from featured architect/designer Toyo Ito.


Organizers of the 25th annual Cersaie exhibition are gearing up for the thousands of attendees that will descend upon Bologna, Italy, Oct. 2-6.

Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tiles and Bathroom Furnishings, which drew more than 90,000 visitors in 2006, has contracted architect/designer Toyo Ito to develop the promotional image for the 2007 event. He is the eighth such architect to be commissioned by Cersaie for its promotional poster campaign.

In addition to the several industry-related economic, technical and architectural conferences on the agenda, Ceramic Tiles of Italy (in cooperation with Italian ceramic companies) is launching a commemorative project called “Creativitiles.” This exhibit aims to combine industry and art by transforming famous images into ceramic tile installations.
