/AWARDS
Eleganza is the recipient of 2019's IVACE Award For Customization In Architecture and Interior Design.
València (01.31.19). Eight of the largest US importers in the United States received this afternoon the IVACE Awards for Tile of Spain Promotion from the Minister of Sustainable Economy, Productive Sectors, Trade and Employment, Rafa Climent and the President of ASCER, Vicente Nomdedéu. They have done it in the course of a gala that has begun with the performance of the magician Yunke, from Castellón and known for his performances in the program “El Hormiguero”. The gala was the culmination of the stay of the Americans in Valencia, where they had the opportunity to visit CEVISAMA and develop a work agenda with both actual clients and companies with which they still do not work.
Conseller Rafael Climent, in charge of closing the event, explained the interest of the Ministry of Economy to "reinforce the international character of CEVISAMA and recognize the work of the largest importers and distributors in different countries, in the promotion and creation of an image and brand of the ceramic products of Region of Valencia ". In his speech, he wanted to thank American companies that "not only are they helping us to expand ceramics in the United States, but they are also doing a great job as prescribers of our products to reach other markets." In addition, it has encouraged distribution companies to continue relying on the products of the Region of Valencia, to ensure that there are more American consumers who know the quality and all the advantages of using ceramic products in their homes.
For his part, the President of ASCER, Vicente Nomdedéu explained that the United States has been the first market selected in these awards "for its seriousness, prestige and its enormous potential. Today is the most important export market outside the EU".
At present, ceramic products account for 16 percent of the floor covering used in the United States. The export figures stand out for the upward trend with an increase of 11.93% in the first ten months of the year and a 268 % in the last five years.

Type 32 wins the GOOD DESIGN™ Award
Type 32 Slimtech, the collection by Lea Ceramiche designed by Diego Grandi, has won the GOOD DESIGN Award 2014, the prestigious prize with which the Chicago Athenaeum honours excellence of design worldwide.
Several thousand contributions were received by the Museum for the 2014 competition. Over 700 projects from more than 48 countries were selected in October by a double jury which met in New York and Los Angeles and which announced the winners for each category, amongst them Type 32 by Lea Ceramiche which won the Floor and Wall Covering section.
The idea consists of two overlapping layers. The first is more material-oriented and is made of a silkscreen print playing with the theme of verisimilitude and reproducing an essence. The second, more graphical, consists of a decoration, based on the recurrence of an oblique line with four patterns. Starting from its format, the project represents a novelty. Instead of working with standard dimensions, the new line uses Lea Slimtech staves (20 x 200 cm) made to a new thickness of 5.5 mm.
Type 32 sets off with materials but then moves on to transcend them, transporting them to an abstract level where invention lends additional meaning to the word decorum, rewriting a new language, yet as familiar as the first four letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha, beta, gamma, delta.
The inspiration ranges from art to graphics, but the themes of illusion and memory are also present. As in certain dreams, or better still, in certain visions, it becomes something other than itself, reinterpreted as pure image through a contemporary language that transforms the material into a mirage, while the classic ornamental lines become potentially infinite surfaces. A large carpet, basically.
The GOOD DESIGN Award crowns a product by Lea Ceramiche for the second time. City, the project reminiscent of urban maps, also designed by Diego Grandi, received the prestigious award in 2008, and this year it was the turn of Type 32. The award is another recognition that highlights the attention that Lea Ceramiche has always given to designer content, the company’s deep knowledge of materials and its constant commitment to technological research and advancement.
SLIMTECH NEST wins Interior Design’s Annual Best of Year Award 2014
Slimtech Nest, the Lea Ceramiche collection designed by HOK Product Design has won Interior Design’s Annual Best of Year Award 2014 in the category Flooring: Tile and Stone. Celebrating its 9th edition this year, the prize is promoted by the American magazine Interior Design and represents one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions.
Nest won the Best of Year Award 2014 in the tile and stone floorings category in the products section.
Taking inspiration from forms found in the natural world, Nest is made of irregular elements (100cm edge size) which are combined together to create large hexagonal shapes. An infinite “woven puzzle”, which offers a new and unconventional use of ceramics, giving a unique touch and a structural element to surfaces that transform the architectural and domestic landscapes of any city. Nest offers an infinite variety of combinations of shape and colour, which become patterns that can be used to express the creativity of any designer.
“Nest is a range of hexagons and triangles, affectionately named Pac Man, which can be used in many aesthetic solutions and allows architects and designers to truly use their imagination,” explains Susan Grossinger from HOK Product Design.
Nest is produced in ultra-thin laminated porcelain tiles, Slimtech by Lea Ceramiche, available in extra-large sizes up to 3m x 1m. These tiles are resistant and long-lasting despite being a mere 3mm in thickness. This product has revolutionised the ceramics sector in recent years. With its vast dimensions, it has totally transformed the traditional concept of tiling.
