Far-sighted projects
There are companies that join in successful projects, whereas other
companies, like Porcelanosa Group, generate successful and far-sighted
projects. The Porcelanosa Interior Design Contest, and subsequently
the award presentation to four big projects, were held in Valencia in a
multitudinous event with a debate forum that served as a meeting point
for the professionals from the world of design and architecture of today
and tomorrow. The current situation of the sector was analysed, as were
the challenges and possibilities both in the present and for the future. Also
discussed were the new values of the industry and the need for betting
on “the creative muscle”. It is on these occasions when a company like
Porcelanosa Group puts forwards all its values, created and maintained
thanks to the talent, entrepreneurial skills and teamwork of the eight
brands that make up the Group. There are no chances in this success
– there is solidity and devotion, and the best professionals associated to
each project. In Porcelanosa Group, all efforts are concentrated on
the field of innovation and the quest for new and optimal materials in
order to strengthen the
technology used and
the beauty of shapes, as
well as to pay the due
respect to the natural
environs and to the new
challenges of an everevolving
world.
