An article came across my desk today which had a pertinent global business focus. With the weak US dollar, US manufactures are now focusing on exporting and expanding their facilities, I for see carpet being a major leader in this sector, it will be interesting to see how tile in general will do.
With this in mind I noticed Ceramic Tiles of Italy is now accepting entries into its annual design competition. Here Architects and designers are encouraged to submit projects they worked on over the past 5 years: Up for grabs are cash prices ($5000 for the winner in each category) and a number of trips abroad. Feel free to check it out at www.tilecompetition.com.
