Our design for Kale’s new stand at Cersaie 17 pushes the company at the forefront of a new trend: a mutable and fluid ceramics market made of smaller numbers, higher quality and wider offer. It’s a simple, light design – almost a pop-up temporary showroom – along with a very iconic visual communication.
We used versatility as a conceptual frame. A low-definition modular design complemented with an external semi-transparent digital printed fabric skin. The modular elements are easily reusable giving shape to ever new display spaces and the fabric skin is a communicating surface providing always new messages and identity. Adopting semi-transparent walls to display solid ceramic surfaces was a challenge. A radical choice indeed, a real switch of mind. We found a solution designing self standing displays organized in a continuous landscape of vertical and horizontal ceramic surfaces, thus making the product collections the central focus of the exhibition.
Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Kale Group, orange red banners hanging from the ceiling underline the Company’s timeline and highlights, gifting at the same time the welcoming lounge areas with a festive feel.–

The design of the exterior for this exhibition stand embraces versatility through a low-definition modular design wrapped in a semi-transparent digitally printed fabric skin. The reusable modules allow for constantly evolving display layouts, while the fabric surface delivers dynamic branding and messaging.
For this exhibition stand design, the central welcoming area highlights the company’s timeline and key milestones through orange-red banners suspended from the ceiling, creating a festive and engaging focal point.
The mix of geometric forms, varied heights, and bold colors creates a dynamic and attention-grabbing visual environment. Striking orange-red graphics spark curiosity and draw visitors into the interior of the exhibition stand, enhancing both visibility and engagement.
