Bologna, Italy—Decocer returns to Cersaie, the leading international fair for ceramics and design, with a signature space titled “Echoes of the Earth.” Designed by architect Héctor Ruiz Velázquez, the stand is presented as a material manifesto that champions expressiveness, sustainability and the versatility of small formats.
Decocer’s latest introductions demonstrate how ceramics can evolve from surface covering to become structure, space and narrative. The pavilion, just 65 square meters, emerges from a large ceramic mass opened in an organic, human gesture that invites visitors inside. Three monumental cylinders, inspired by tree trunks and constructed entirely from small-format pieces, create an immersive journey where material guides movement.
The installation condenses an innovative vision into a compact, modular and sustainable space. It is dismantlable and reusable, designed to let visitors walk through, touch and inhabit ceramics. Inspired by nature, the pavilion shows that small-format tiles can shape atmospheres, tell stories and move visitors through the power of material.
