Coverings, the premier event for the ceramic tile and natural stone industry in North America, has announced the winners of its annual Best Booth Awards and the Coverings Installation and Design Award (CID) winners at the 2025 show.
Best Booth Awards
The Best Booth Awards program celebrates the top booth designs and creative displays on the show floor.
“Each year at Coverings, we are continually awed by the originality and craftsmanship our exhibitors showcase—not only in the tile and stone products they create, but also in the immersive and thoughtfully designed booths they bring to the show floor,” says Jamie Rich, Coverings show director. “While all of this year’s exhibits are impressive, we’re proud to recognize six exceptional displays as the Coverings 2025 Best Booth Award winners.”
The Mirage Granito Ceramico SpA booth was awarded Best in Show for its sustainability-driven exhibit. The booth highlighted the brand’s eco-conscious tile designs, featuring three new lines of 63% pre- and post-consumer recycled materials.
Stonepeak Ceramics also received Best in Show for the booth’s showcase of technological breakthroughs, engaging product displays like an interactive room displaying technology like the brand’s Design Your Slab (DYS) program and Hypertouch smart-sensor integration.
WOW Design took home Best in Show as well, with its “Unexpected Greenhouse” theme showcasing the concept of a greenhouse as a dynamic creative environment. The booth displayed 18 ceramic and porcelain tile collections and products spanning a variety of textures and designs.
The Atlas Concorde booth earned a Best Display award for its architecturally inspired exhibit, Atlas Concorde City. Multiple interconnected rooms were represented with varying heights to replicate the look and feel of a modern cityscape, featuring a distinct collection of products.
Venux also took home a Best Display award for the multisensory experience it offered. Visitors stepped into a glacier through a show stopping entrance covered in six-meter-high Breccia Oniciata stone. The booth also featured a dedicated work area where all available finishes of the brand were displayed.
MILE®stone, distributed by Florim USA was awarded Best Display for its focus on sustainability and forward-thinking design. The structural canopy design portrayed aspects of both indoor and outdoor environments guiding visitors to a curated series of spaces featuring the brand’s Untamed collection.
