The September 2023 issue of STEIN Magazine focuses on the topic of “Tiles and Slabs.” Wall and floor coverings often reflect the personalities of the people who live with (and on) them. The 2023 tile trends, featuring vibrant glazes for surfaces, are sometimes a feast for the eyes—or, conversely, quite subtle, minimalist, and understated.
Tiles and slabs allow you to add your own unique touches to the bathroom, kitchen, or patio. That’s why the STEIN editorial team has once again taken a look at what tile manufacturers have to offer this year and is presenting the latest trends from the world of tiles.
The Latest Trends in the World of Tiles
One example comes from Bergamo, Italy. There, a monolithic villa was built with the goal of keeping the structure as simple as possible. The surrounding landscape was meant to take center stage. The interior and exterior areas of the house were designed to appear as one seamless whole, with fluid transitions between the living space and the garden.
Inside and Out, as if from a Single Mold
Our author, Martina Noltemeier, reports on how the tile business can succeed despite the crisis in the construction industry through good ideas and a great deal of personal dedication. To that end, she paid a visit to Melanie and Anja Fadel. Ten years ago, the two sisters took over their father’s business in Darmstadt and have been writing their own success story ever since. Their strength lies above all in providing personalized advice.
Commitment Despite the Crisis
In the natural stone sector, our machinery expert Michael Spohr presents various specialized machines currently in use in stonemasons’ workshops. As always, he visited several companies and returned with many impressions and insights.

To do so, both the owners and prospective buyers must address a whole range of questions. One way to ensure a successful transition can be through employee financial participation.
