At Cersaie, your stand is judged like a tile collection
Architects, distributors and specifiers walk the halls of Cersaie Bologna to touch, compare and specify surfaces. On a floor this full of ceramics, tiles shown as flat samples on a wall look like a catalogue page.
The brands that close deals let visitors walk on the product, see the finish under good light and picture the material in a real room.

What your Cersaie stand needs
At a show where the product is the decoration, these three decisions come before any graphic.
- The collection on floors and wallsClad in the product itself, not in printed photographs of it.
- Lighting that renders the surfaceGlaze, texture and colour as they look once installed.
- Room sets and mock-up bathroomsSo visitors see the products working together.
Turning a tile range into a space people want to step into is joinery and engineering first, and that is exactly the work our workshop does.
Turnkey service for your Cersaie stand
From the first layout to the last day at BolognaFiere, a single team handles stand design, joinery, transport and installation.
You keep one contact throughout, which matters when a stand carries hundreds of kilos of tiles on its walls and floor and every panel has to be built to take that load.
Design
Collaborative briefing, a strategy built around your visitor and a photorealistic 3D render of your space.
Manufacturing
In-house joinery and manufacturing with premium, high-quality and sustainable materials at our own workshop.
Build & install
Transport and coordination to BolognaFiere, on-site build and dismantling by our own crew, and dedicated support throughout the show.
Stands we have designed, built and installed
Two decades of custom exhibition stands for brands that sell on detail, finish and material quality. We also build for Cevisama in Valencia, the other key date in the ceramic tile calendar.
Three exhibitor profiles, three different stand briefs
This trade fair gathers very different businesses in the same halls, and each one arrives with a technical problem the stand has to solve before any styling decision.
Ceramic tile and porcelain manufacturers
A tile only sells once a buyer has seen it laid, grouted and lit. We build floors and wall panels with your collection installed, engineered for the extra weight, so visitors walk on the product instead of browsing a rack of samples.
Bathroom furnishing brands
Basins, showers and cabinets need to be read as a finished bathroom. We create room sets with realistic walls and concealed fittings, so a specifier sees how the range performs in a project, not on a plinth.
Large-format and alternative surfaces
Big slabs are heavy, fragile and slow to handle on site. We plan the structure, the fixing system and the installation sequence together with the build slot, so the largest pieces go up safely and on schedule.
A stand that comes back to Bologna every September
Cersaie is held every year, so a modular, reusable structure pays for itself quickly. We store and service the build between editions and refresh graphics, finishes and layout for each new collection launch.
Cersaie stand FAQs
What tile and bathroom brands usually ask us before they book their space at BolognaFiere.
When is Cersaie 2027?
Cersaie is held every year at BolognaFiere, usually in the second half of September; the 2026 edition ran from 21 to 25 September. The next edition will be held from 27 September to 1 October 2027.
Can the stand floor and walls carry real tiles?
Yes. We engineer the platform and the wall structure for the weight of the collection you want to install, confirm the load with the organiser before the design is closed, and plan how the tiles are laid and removed within the build and dismantling slots.
Can you build a room set or mock-up bathroom on the stand?
Yes. We build complete room sets with walls, flooring and concealed fittings, so basins, showers and furniture are shown the way they will look in a finished project.
Do you handle transport, build and dismantling at BolognaFiere?
Yes. Everything is manufactured in our own workshop, and our crew takes care of transport, on-site build, dismantling and support across the five days of the show.
How much does a Cersaie stand cost?
It depends on the size of your space, how much product you want installed and the finishes you choose. Share your plot size and the collections you plan to show, and we will send a fixed quote before any stand design work starts.
Can we reuse the stand at the next Cersaie?
Yes. We build modular structures that come back each September with new graphics, finishes and layout, so the investment carries over from one edition to the next.
Cersaie takes place at BolognaFiere
Cersaie Bologna is the trade fair that brings the ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings industry to BolognaFiere in Bologna, Italy, every September. We produce your stand in our own workshop and install it in Bologna with our own team, from transport to dismantling.
Exhibition stand design and build in Bologna
BolognaFiere also hosts shows such as Cosmoprof, so its calendar and its hall-by-hall build schedules are familiar ground for us. A stand that has already been pre-assembled in our workshop goes up faster and with fewer surprises on site.
Contemporanea Eventi builds your Cersaie stand
Send us your stand size, the collections you want to launch and how much product you plan to install, and we will tell you what the space can hold before the first sketch. Want to know who you would be working with? Meet the team.
