Trend: Honeycomb Patterns
The honeycomb trend was echoed throughout the Cesarie tile fair, though Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen's D.R.Y. (Don't Repeat Yourself) tile rose above the crowd. Inspired by the irregular cracks found in plaster, dry paint and earth, this uniquely shaped tile gains uniformity when grouted with hexagonal tiles.

Paola Navone, Gervasoni's artistic director, is famous for crossing boundaries, both stylistic and geographic. On a trip to Buenos Aires, she found young fashion designer Martin Churba, who has a real talent for dressing articles of furniture. His knitted pouf feels like a favorite sweater.

    I remember that, when I was in Buenos Aires, very near my Buenos Aires apartment there was a Shopping Mall with all furnitures and designs similar to some of your pics!
