Renowned worldwide for an inspiring blend of aesthetic and technical innovation, Spanish tiles draw on a rich heritage of creativity, quality and skill while remaining at the leading edge of contemporary ceramic and porcelain design. Now Tile of Spain, the voice of the Spanish tile industry, has brought together a selection of exemplary designs to showcase during its debut at the Surface Design Show.
The porcelain ‘Carpet’ tiles of Aparici have the warm, soft look of a woven rug
On display will be both ceramic and porcelain tiles in a range of looks. These include the trend for artisanal contemporary rugs as seen in Aparici’s fascinating ‘Carpet’ porcelain flooring and the trend for dramatic monochromes in the form of ‘Concept’ tiles from Cerámica Cas.
Cerámica Cas shows that tiles can offer all the visual appeal of carpet or wallpaper with their ‘Concept’ range
The eye-catching patterns of Goroka Grafito porcelain by Vives demonstrate how tiles can add a distinctive, easy-care panache to a variety of spaces whether residential or commercial, whilst hexagons in on-trend pastels by Peronda are offered in both porcelain and cement versions depending on the need of the project.

Wall surfaces are equally inspiring, with Cevica providing popular options such as their Chevron tile which, when arranged in a variety of ways, can make an intriguing focal point in any room. Furthermore, Colorker and Dune will display some dazzling sculptural tiles that prove how flexible and creative porcelain and ceramic can be, especially when used for multi-faceted surfaces.
