Bologne, Italy—Decocer, which specialized in the design and manufacture of small-size ceramic pieces, will participate once again in Cersaie with new designs this year. The show will be held here this week, September 25-29. Decocer’s space can be visited in Hall 26, stand B98.
For the new 2023-2024 season, Decocer proposes very unique sizes and geometries, volumetric or 3D pieces, floral decorations, very contemporary multi-format and modular systems, great contrasts between matt and glossy finishes, zelliges, shade variation colors, hydraulic or exotic blue flooring for pool application. All ceramic pieces are of small size, representing the true ceramic language and recalling traditional craftsmanship.
Feather shapes
In this international show edition, Decocer presents a renewed feather shape design in the 8 x 21.5cm size. The most genuine novelty of this new version is that it presents a relief that makes a wavy geometric effect. These pieces are billed as unique and very contemporary in character.
The feathers, as their term indicates, are pieces in the shape of seabird feathers, being a decorative element widely used in the Art Deco artistic movement of the first part of the 20th century. The colors of the collection are shown in matt and glossy versions, in an earthly and pastel color range in a wide variation of shades.
Elongated pieces
Another unique design is a very elongated and thin size, measuring 5 x 50 m. Of great singularity for its proportions, it has a chromatic range that includes browns, oranges and earthy tones. They are glazed and satin-finished pieces, with glazes of a resounding and brilliant language. With this collection, professionals can create different spaces.
Another of the differential elements of this size are the possibilities it offers laying it. Geometric games can be performed in the shape of a herringbone, creating a very different visual effect due to the fact that the pieces are so elongated. Another possibility is the combination of vertical and horizontal laying. Decocer proposes for this collection a 20 x 20cm floor tile in the shape of a flower.
Traditional pieces
Another of the novelties for this show are the zellige pieces. These are a type of traditional ceramic with an ornamental purpose handmade in the Mediterranean areas, the reproduction can be found in much of its architecture. Decocer will present the square size in 10 x 10cm.
They are glazed pieces, each color has different shade variation pieces in the same range. This set of pieces with different colors of the same shade allows the creation of spaces full of nuances and colors. Decocer presents a chromatic range in satin finish between blues, greenish and earthy colors.
Multi-format and modular systems
Another big bet for this show is the development of multiformat pieces that modulate with each other. These are collections that perfectly combine square and rectangular ceramic pieces. The pieces fit together perfectly and allow for infinite combinations because they mix geometries, sizes and colors. In addition, these pieces can include special graphics, such as those presented with a floral decoration, to further enrich the spaces.
Decocer has developed two new multi-format systems. On the one hand, the 13 x 13cm square pieces that fit with the 6.5 x 26cm rectangular pieces. The second size are square pieces of 12.4 x 12.4cm that combine with the rectangular pieces 6.1 x 25cm.
Three-dimensional hexagons
Hexagon-shaped ceramic pieces are one of Decocer’s specialties. The Evoque piece in the 14 x 16cm size is renewed in matt finishes and in a range of grays, blues and earth colors. As a differential element, this piece has a 3D or three-dimensional volume version, which makes a geometric drawing reminiscent of this shape. The collection is enriched with a delicate and sinuous bas-relief decoration that symbolizes elements inspired by nature.
