Tecnargilla
is the international trade fair on technologies and materials for the
ceramic and terracotta industries, organised by Rimini Fiera in collaboration
with Acimac, whose upcoming edition will be held from the 30th September
to the 4th October 2008. According to visitors to the 2006 edition, Tecnargilla
is an opportunity not to be missed: this emerges clearly from a survey
conducted on a sample of over 1,000 interviewees. 98% of those questioned
judged the event positively, and 88% described it as 'good' or 'excellent'.
Going into further detail, 17% of the participants from outside Italy
considered the 2006 edition 'excellent', 71% 'good', and 9% 'passable'.
Tecnargilla’s keys to success are: the skill and courtesy of its
personnel, the way its stands and products are organised and displayed,
and the overall completeness of the material on show.
Kermat: Advanced Ceramics, Act II
Kermat, the section dedicated to advanced ceramics, will be making its
second appearance at the 2008 edition of Tecnargilla. Once again it will
offer various conference events, which were much appreciated by visitors
last time around, but this time it will also have its own special display
area. The subjects to be examined on the 1st and 2nd of October have already
been decided.
Firstly the International Forum – New Frontiers for Ceramic Materials
will feature discussion of the roadmap for future developments in ceramics:
strategies and prospects for sector companies, ceramics technologies for
alternative energies and environmental protection, and sustainability
in the building industry.
A conference on Innovative Applications for Ceramic Materials is also
programmed, focussed on European priorities for innovation in the tiling
sector, high added value multifunctional materials, nanostructural facing
materials, the reduction of machinery vibration and noise levels through
the use of piezoelectric technology, and geo-polymers.

Cesana
makes a Statement at Cersaie
Italian
shower manufacturer Cesana exhibited its range of stylish, contemporary
showers at Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom
Furnishings, held in Bologna, 2-6 October 2007.
Cesana's impressive yet simple stand reflected the ethos behind its shower
enclosure designs and attracted a lot of attention.
Two new products aimed at the luxury contemporary market stole the show.
The Plano is a showering solution that is integrated into the architecture
of the bathroom. The shower tray, in steel, is inset into the floor to
create a base for the shower mat that is level with the bathroom floor.
The 8mm or 10mm safety glass is fixed to the tray and a steel upper support
bar joins the two glass panels. The mat can be in teak, aluminium or pral
(an artificial material composed by natural minerals and acrylic components).
The Plano was designed by Giulio Gianturco and Mario Tessarollo.
The Tecnoslide is a contemporary and sophisticated design, using only
essential lines to form this showering solution. The sliding mechanism
of the front panel is the main feature of this enclosure. The frame is
in anodised aluminium and the 8mm safety glass is available in both clear
and opal finish. An ideal space-saving solution.
Gloria Riva, Cesana's marketing director comments: 'Cersaie was a great
opportunity for us to reinforce our position as leading edge designers
and we are delighted with the positive response of clients, professionals
and journalists, to our innovative products.
'Cesana aims to make showering a daily pleasure and these new products
respond to the continuing trend for well-being and relaxation in the bathroom.
Whether the bathroom is large and spacious or compact, Cesana has the
solution.
'Cesana has been established in Milan for almost 40 years and has constantly
led the market in both design and technical innovation.'
This range is now available as part of the new Moods Ultimate Bathrooms
Collection from the UK's largest bathroom, kitchen and appliance distributor,
PJH Group.

Drummonds
Sparkles on its Return to Decorex
Luxury
interiors specialist Drummonds attracted
a huge amount of attention at Decorex with interior designers, architects
and members of the general public drawn to its stand, which featured eight
luxurious bathroom sets.
Drummonds' double vanity basin with a hand picked marble surround wowed
visitors with its high level of craftsmanship and beauty, while others
were captivated by the Lomond built in bath with mirrored surround and
it's unique glittered backdrop.
The deep Torridge bath; the beautifully finished walnut low level cistern
and a cascade of Drummonds' door furniture were among an array of products
which demonstrated the company's design flair and the high standard of
products it manufactures in its own casting foundry.
Drummonds' largest freestanding cast iron bath, the Spey, in matt black
with chrome claw and ball feet added a contemporary feel to the stand,
along with handmade chunky heated towel rails and the new curved Barra
bath mixer tap.
In addition to the bathrooms, Drummonds also showcased its handmade solid
brass door and window furniture, plus restored flooring, including polished
limestone, Parquet de Versailles, cabouchon limestone and a range of oaks.
Drummonds offers a complete planning, supply and installation service.
