Cersaie 2025: innovation, trends and designer surfaces in Bologna

The International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings returns from 22 to 26 September with new products and projects that look to the future

Cersaie has always been a global reference point for the world of ceramic surfaces, architectural finishing and bathroom furnishings. Also this year, from 22 to 26 September 2025, the Bologna exhibition centre will host the
42nd edition of the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings.

A renewed edition: spaces and layouts
Cersaie’s 2025 formula offers a more functional and spatial approach. Hall 19 is added, dedicated to the installation sector and applied technologies. At the same time, halls 31 and 32 take on a strategic role for non-ceramic surfaces, interior finishes and bathroom/wellness furniture. The “Constitution” entrance becomes a privileged access for visitors coming from the city and the station, with a new layout in the neighboring areas.

What to expect: sectors, events and protagonists
In addition to the usual exhibition halls, Cersaie confirms thematic areas and initiatives such as
Tiling Town
, designed for installation professionals with live demonstrations, technical workshops and training updates. Companies in the sector will be able to discuss surfaces, coatings, architectural finishes, non-ceramic materials, bathroom solutions and interior settings.The cultural and convention program accompanies the exhibition: conferences, seminars, insights on innovation, sustainability and built environments. For visitors, Cersaie also offers convivial moments: “The Porticoes of Cersaie” and “The Square” serve as meeting spaces and central areas of the exhibition experience.

Growing
numbersAn exhibition area of 155,000 m² is planned for 2025, an increase compared to past editions. The numbers speak of over 620 exhibitors from various foreign countries, with a significant share of international presence. The expansion of Hall 19 adds about 1,000 m² useful for activities dedicated to installation (+35%). Cersaie is not just a product exhibition: it is a showcase for anticipating trends in ceramics and surfaces, as well as offering strategic networking, B2B relationships and design stimuli. Architects, designers, builders, retailers and operators in the sector find here ideas for innovative materials, sustainable coatings, bathroom furnishings and new finishing solutions.

The Cersaie 2025 fair presents itself as an unmissable opportunity to observe where the world of architectural surfaces, bathroom furnishings and ceramic design is headed. With expanded spaces, new exhibition sectors and a rich program of cultural events, this edition aims to be a platform that blends innovation, aesthetics and market. If you work in the fields of architecture, design or installation, wanting to be present is almost essential to stay up to date and inspired.
