Tecnargilla Explores World of Mosaic
Tecnargilla is exploring the world of mosaic and promoting dialogue between suppliers of machinery, materials and services for the ceramic industry and producers and architects, who are increasingly interested in keeping abreast of the technical and aesthetic developments of ceramic tiles.
In cooperation with Acimac (Italian Ceramic Machinery Manufacturers’ Association), Tecnargilla took part in the exhibition ‘Tendenza Mosaico - Tecnologie, progetti, materiali’ held on 29 March this year in the Pordenone exhibition centre with a workshop entitled ‘Decoration. Customised Technology’.
The event, organised with the support of Pordenone Fiere and the magazine Ottagono, featured keynote addresses given by leading business figures whose companies will be taking part in the next Tecnargilla. The audience included some 50 architects and producers, mainly mosaic producers from the district of Spilimbergo in the Friuli region. The meeting prompted strong interest and participation and underscored the union of the ancient culture of mosaic and modern industry.
Paolo Lamberti (Tecnografica), representative of Acimac’s Screen Printing Company Group, discussed design and machinery in a report entitled ‘Study and development of new products and aesthetic solutions’. Gustavo Ferrarese (Esmalglass) gave an address focusing on the creation of colour trends and the creative interaction between sectors such as fashion, interior furnishing and sensorial marketing. Claudio Avanzi (BMR) concluded the conference with a more technological address on ‘Cutting and finishing of ceramic products’.
Relations with manufacturers of ceramic materials and architects will continue to be promoted, culminating at the 2008 edition of Tecnargilla. All the companies exhibiting at the event will showcase cutting-edge technological and aesthetic solutions and are capable of anticipating the future of ceramic products. In particular, Kromatech – the Tecnargilla section devoted to aesthetics in the ceramic sector – will explore new products, materials, decorations and aesthetic codes. The conferences held at Tecnargilla will also address these themes in great detail.
Tecnargilla will be held from 30 September to 4 October in Rimini, Italy.
