If you thought tile booths were just rows of samples and polite lighting… Coverings 2026 had other plans.
This year’s show floor in Las Vegas turned into something closer to an immersive design playground, where tile and stone brands didn’t just display products—they built full-on experiences. And now, the results are in: seven exhibitors have officially claimed Best Booth Awards, spanning Best in Show, Best Display and Best Stone Display.
Big Energy, Big Wins
From glowing stone walls to upside-down architectural elements, this year’s winners proved that walking the show floor can feel more like stepping into a series of curated worlds.
2026 Best in Show: When Design Gets Dramatic
Ceramica Del Conca (Booth 1614)
Think sensory journey meets sculptural drama. Visitors were pulled in by a striking red stone exterior, layered with 3D textures and glowing LED illusions. Inside? A series of rooms showcasing dimensional porcelain surfaces and standout collections like Dinamika Stone Edition and Dimore.
Stonepeak Ceramics (Booth 6234)
Their theme, “The Magical Journey,” delivered exactly that. Guests passed through a portal into a surreal, upside-down world—complete with inverted columns and floating forms. Bonus: a Material Library packed with everything from terrazzo looks to marble-inspired surfaces.
VIVES AZULEJOS Y GRES (Booth 819)
Vegas, but make it tile. This vibrant booth channeled the city’s neon spirit with towering, illuminated structures and a color-packed corridor spotlighting the Surf collection. It was bold, bright and impossible to miss.
2026 Best Display Winners: Walk-In Inspiration
Ceramica Rondine – Bottega (Booth 1145)
A series of interconnected rooms guided visitors through different moods, with a standout Japan-inspired space featuring wood-look tiles and a cherry blossom centerpiece.
Decocer (Booth 833)
Designed by Héctor Ruiz Velázquez, this booth blurred the line between architecture and exhibit. “Echoes of the Earth” invited attendees to walk on and through ceramic structures, with flowing, organic forms and clay inspired textures.
Wonder Porcelain (Booth 4439)
Each room told a different story, from bold checkerboard floors to shimmering marble-inspired designs. The mix of textures, finishes and formats made it feel like a gallery of possibilities.
2026 Best Stone Display: Natural Stone, Reimagined
ANTOLINI® (Booth 7833)
Designed by Alessandro La Spada, this space felt like a modern stone village. Visitors followed the journey of stone from quarry to polished surface, with glowing backlit slabs, textured finishes and over 20 stunning materials on display—including Cipollino GreyWave and Irish Greene®.
