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.
