The Brazilian ceramic tile sector continues to grow in strength and awareness, as was obvious during the 22nd edition of Expo Revestir, the four-day event held March 19-22 in São Paulo’s Expo Center. With a global community of architects, builders, distributors, retailers, specifiers, and designers in attendance, Expo Revestir focused on showcasing and promoting Brazilian tile, coatings and finishing exports. It did not disappoint!
With more than 1,300 international visitors from 80 countries, the 65,000 square meter exhibition venue brought together more than 300 exhibiting brands to the largest of its kind event in Latin America. After spending several days on the show floor exploring with the curiosity of a child, here are the emerging tile trends spotted:

Although there are several more examples of the above tile designs and styles observed, there’s only so much space in one blog post. But worry not, in my subsequent Expo Revestir post, I’ll be revealing several more trends that discernably stood out. Stay tuned!
Lastly, it takes a tremendous amount of planning and logistics to successfully produce an exhibition of this size. The undeniable, tireless efforts of ANFACER (National Association of Manufacturers of Ceramic Tiles, Sanitary Ware and Similar Products), ApexBrasil (Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency) and Ceramics of Brazil did not go unnoticed.
