Archive of October 2007

This morning saw the opening of Cersaie 2007, the most important international trade-fair for ceramics and sanitary-ware. As we revealed in our previous posts, on the occasion of Cersaie, DesignTaleStudio launches a brand-new series of products targeting residential and public design spaces.

The wait is therefore over. We can finally take the veil off the Tagli d’Autore, 30×120 cm ceramic slabs with a refined and welcoming style, the perfect choice to enliven modern and minimalist porcelain stoneware claddings. There are three basic design themes that make up the collection textures:

• a series of three-dimensional bright lines in the colour of gold and platinum for the TDA1, that you can also see in the above photo of the stand;
• a free criss-cross of colour “flashes” all in different colours for the TDA2 and the TDA3
• a lily pattern with a hint of both modern and traditional, black on white (TDA4) and white on black (TDA5). And it is the lily that has inspired the new graphic theme of the blog that debuted this morning.

We will go into greater depth and discover the Tagli d’Autore in the next few days. In the meantime, come and visit our stand (Pav. 36, Stand C42 - watch some photos here), perhaps on Wednesday, October 3, so together we can go into the heart of Bologna for the inauguration of the Grand Design Tour.

We are at the threshold of Cersaie 2007, the most important ceramic and sanitary ware trade-fair in the world.

The DesignTaleStudio space (Pav. 36 - Stand C42), just behind that of our parent company, Refin (Pav. 36 - Stand B32), will focus on a completely new product collection, the “Tagli d’Autore”. New because of its size, look and destination of use, but still, manufactured using techniques of a craftsman and with a tendency geared towards the experimentation of new ceramic art languages. For the moment, you have to be content with just knowing the name of the collection as well as this sneak preview of the pages dedicated to the collection in the new catalogue: come back tomorrow morning on the blog and you will know (and see) everything.

As you already know, during the Cersaie week, DesignTaleStudio will also be present outside the fair, at the most important art galleries in the heart of Bologna, with The Grand Design Tour traveling exhibition organized by architect Laura Villani. Today, at 11.30 a.m. at the Palazzo Segni Masetti, the inaugural press conference will take place: if you wish to take part to the invitation only opening event on October 3 along with fashion-designer Elio Fiorucci, there is still time for you to fill in the form in the Contribute section.
