Carrying out research in the world of design can mean many things: it can be research of style and creativity, essential for being able to create always new spaces, but also of production and process technologies, necessary today more than ever before to develop collections that really respect the environment which surrounds us and which we absolutely must conserve in every way possible in order to construct our future together.

This month we focus on discovering how to make our spaces welcoming and rediscover an equilibrium that perhaps we have been missing for too long.

March

The concept of elegance comes in many different forms: when we design or plan our living spaces, we want floor and wall finishes not only to be a setting for the furnishings, but to reflect our personality, making the spaces welcoming and giving them a touch of originality.
This month we present finishes with completely different moods but all with a contemporary and timeless style.

January

As we step into a new year, we’re seeking original inspirations that allow us to imagine our living spaces differently. The clear distinction between rooms is a thing of the past, and our homes must now be able to switch promptly and smoothly from places of leisure to workspaces, with rooms taking on multiple functions. Kitchens overlap with living rooms, the bathroom becomes a place to relax and listen to music, and the bedroom doubles up as an office for remote working. There’s a growing desire to bring nature indoors, and an increasing focus on sustainability. Join us to start this month by discovering some interesting new ideas for 2021.

December

Fortunately, in this difficult time, the digital world enables us to continue to “explore” in the search of news and inspiration for our upcoming projects. The new Fioranese and Coem Evolving Dialogues website enables us to learn about the new collections and to discover how a unique and particular work of art, able to unite the world of ceramics, nature and man, is created.
Let’s explore together, then, this new world made up of poetry and harmony.

November

Making projects: for us this means continuing to think, research, evolve and create something new.
Inspired by the beauty of nature and its colours that change according to context, our way of communicating also changes, taking on new forms and initiating new dialogues, especially thanks to digital technologies, which allow us to be always in touch.
Coem and Fioranese never stop, and in November are launching new projects that we are about to discover together: #staystrong #staywithus!
