Thousands convened in Orlando this April for the world's largest tile and stone show, which put sustainability in the spotlight. RECORD's selection showcases the 2023 trends, including undulating texture, warm neutral tones, and eclectic 1970s-inspired patterns.

Carven

This concrete-look tile from Brazilian ceramics company Portobello was inspired by the rugged Mediterranean landscape and rustic materials of Greek coastal architecture. Available in five neutral shades, including Coal (pictured), the 8" x 8" units have deliberately irregular indentations, and can bring a look of bespoke craftsmanship to any project.

Bestow

Manufacturer MILE stone Tiles is collaborating with designers from across the U.S. for its Stories tile collections. Released this year, the first ″chapter″ is a collection by Washington, D.C.–based Bandura Design that pays homage to the legacy of fiber arts, with weaving, knitting, and knot-tying inspiring the texture, color, and pattern of the 12" x 12" Kunano tile (pictured).

Vision Color

This year, a focus on “green” design was apparent in more ways than one, with botanicals and deep verdant tones underscoring exhibitors’ sustainability goals. Landmark Ceramics introduced a new color range—Ocean Blue, Lava Red, and Forest Green (pictured)—for their versatile resin-effect tile collection.
