This CPD focuses on innovation in tile design and porcelain
production, demonstrating how technology drives trends and how trends drive
technology. The session starts by looking at the history of tiles, with the
earliest known use of ceramic tiles in 4000BC. More recent 20th
century history is also covered, looking at the rapid innovation in the
manufacturing of porcelain over the last 40 years and its influence on tile
design. The CPD incorporates a tour of the Domus showroom in Battersea,
highlighting different examples of porcelain tiles which demonstrate major
