WOW Design, the tile design studio and specialist in the creation and development of unique ceramic tiles with a high added value, will be taking part in CERSAIE, the international ceramic tile fair held in Italy, with a ground-breaking stand designed in collaboration with the company SUMMUMSTUDIO.
At the international event, tile design studio WOW will be showcasing a pioneering exhibition space, breaking new ground yet again in innovations in tile shows, with the presentation of its latest bespoke tiles, custom-designed to meet the creative needs of architects and interior designers worldwide.
“Purely Ceramic Soul”
The booth, designed to emulate a Mediterranean villa with certain modern touches, will display the ceramic tiles in their purest, most authentic of states. Under the slogan “Purely Ceramic Soul”, visitors will be taken on a sensory journey back to the very roots of ceramic tiles and materials and into the history of architecture.
With this initiative, WOW once again leads the field in the creation of high-calibre ephemeral exhibition spaces, conceived to highlight all the potential that ceramic tiles have to offer. On numerous occasions, this has earned it the recognition of important international design institutions, forging the studio a reputation as a leading reference in the fields of innovation and creativity.
The Red Dot Design and Casa Decor 2022 Awards
By way of an example, the studio was awarded a prize in the prestigious Casa Decor 2022 Awards for “Unexpected Hamman”, an innovative space designed in collaboration with SUMMUMSTUDIO. Through ICON, a bespoke brise soleil tile, visits to the room were transformed into an all-round experience, involving all five senses. ICON was also singled out for a prize in the product design category of the RED DOT DESIGN Award, one of the most important international distinctions.
