In September, Deante Design Studio will be in Bologna for Cersaie 2026, one of the world’s most important events in the ceramics and bathroom fittings industry. It is there that the brand will unveil, for the first time, the complete Carta by emo design collection, created in collaboration with the Italian studio Emo Design and recognised this year with the prestigious Red Dot Design Award.
At the heart of the global design scene
From 21 to 25 September, Bologna will once again become one of the key destinations on the global design map. For years, Cersaie has attracted manufacturers, architects, interior designers and industry representatives from all over the world, offering the opportunity to view the latest collections, materials and solutions that are increasingly setting the trends in bathroom and interior design. It is here that you can take a close look at the directions in which bathroom design is evolving, and talk to designers about the technologies, materials and design concepts that will shape the coming seasons.
For Deante Design Studio, this year’s presence in Bologna will be an opportunity to present the full Carta by emo design collection, created in collaboration with the Italian studio Emo Design. Its world premiere will take place at stand B77 in hall P21, where architects and designers will be able to view all the products in the collection.
From Warsaw to Bologna
Carta by emo design was designed in the spirit of conscious minimalism. Its understated form leaves room for interior architecture, whilst adding a distinctive, refined detail. Rather than making the product subservient to fleeting trends, the collection’s creators have opted for solutions that will remain relevant for years to come and will fit seamlessly into a variety of spaces designed by architects and designers.
During the May edition of ARCHITECT@WORK in Warsaw, the brand showcased selected models from the Carta by emo design collection in Poland for the first time, giving architects and designers the opportunity to discover the collection even before its official launch. The very format of the event, aimed primarily at professionals in the fields of architecture and interior design, fostered direct discussion about the design, functionality and potential applications of the collection.
The pre-launch showcase proved to be a significant moment not only in terms of promoting the new collection, but also in gauging the industry’s reaction to it. The Deante Design Studio stand was visited by architects, interior designers and media representatives, who were able to see selected Carta pieces in person and discuss the design’s concept with the brand’s team. Direct contact with professionals provided valuable feedback and confirmed that the direction taken in creating the collection meets current market needs. Following the event, Deante Design Studio emphasised that discussions regarding quality, design and the challenges faced by architects today were particularly valuable.
ARCHITECT@WORK thus became the first chapter in the story of Carta by emo design in Poland. The preview of the collection shown in Warsaw gave a glimpse of its character, whilst at Cersaie the brand will be able to present the project in a fuller context, showcasing its scale, coherence and all its elements.
International recognition
Deante Design Studio’s presence at this year’s Cersaie takes on an extra dimension. This year, Carta by emo design received the Red Dot Design Award, one of the most recognisable and prestigious international accolades in the field of design. For Deante Design Studio, this is already the second such award. In 2024, the competition jury recognised the Silia shower head, highlighting its form, functionality and quality of workmanship.
In the case of Carta by emo design, it is also particularly significant that the project was the result of an international collaboration. Deante Design Studio combined its experience with the expertise of the Italian design studio Emo Design to create a collection that meets both the needs of the user and the requirements of the professional design community. The award demonstrates that the brand’s consistently developed design strategy is also gaining recognition on the international stage.
The architect as a partner in the design process
For Deante Design Studio, its presence at Cersaie is also part of a broader strategy to build relationships with the architectural community. For the brand, meetings with architects are, above all, an opportunity to discuss what designers need today and how bathroom fittings can better meet the requirements of contemporary interiors. Direct dialogue allows us to gain a better understanding of their perspectives, experiences and expectations, and to draw inspiration from them when working on future collections.
– Collaboration with architects is an important part of our design process, as it allows us to view a product from the perspective of its actual use. Discussions held during events such as ARCHITECT@WORK or Cersaie go beyond simply presenting a collection. They involve an exchange of views on proportions, functionality, materials, finishes and how specific solutions work within the overall design. It is precisely these conversations that give rise to a valuable dialogue, which helps us to consciously develop our future collections,” says Paulina Winnicka, Manager for Architect Collaboration at Deante.
This year’s Cersaie will provide another opportunity for such meetings. Deante Design Studio invites architects, interior designers and representatives of the trade media to visit stand B77 in hall P21, where the full Carta by emo design collection – now bearing the prestigious Red Dot Design Award – will be officially unveiled for the first time.
