Cosentino has recently unveiled two new surface series under their eco-conscious and innovative Silestone® brand.

Family-owned Spanish company Cosentino have been crafting high-end surfaces for architects and designers for over 40 years. Silestone®, one of several brands under Cosentino’s umbrella, is a highly durable hybrid surface created from premium natural minerals and recycled materials.

Recently, the brand has unveiled two new Silestone® series that can help you revamp your space.

Urban Crush

Silestone® by Cosentino’s Urban Crush series is inspired by the textures of the city and the latest urban colour trends. Its dusty tones create an ideal industrial backdrop – making it a perfect and natural partner for raw, eclectic spaces.

Urban Crush is manufactured using HybriQ+® technology, signifying a more sustainable production process that utilises 99% reused water, 100% electric energy sourced from renewables, and a minimum of 20% recycled materials in its composition.

This stylish Silestone® collection mimics limestone and sandstone with four colours: Lime Delight, Concrete Pulse, Brass Relish, and Cinder Craze.

Lime Delight  

The Lime Delight’s textured beige tones are a versatile base for any interior design, suitable for both calm and pure spaces and more unexpected proposals. Its bright, warm shades evoke the radiance of famous Marbella limestone.

Concrete Pulse  

The Concrete Pulse’s natural raw grey tone plays with light and shadow, creating a vibrant contrast in eclectic interiors.

Brass Relish  

The finely grained sandstone colour of Brass Relish perfectly complements modern vintage design elements.

Cinder Craze

Cinder Craze is a modern twist on black sandstone, adding personality to industrial interiors with its almost black and grainy tones.

Le Chic

The Silestone® Le Chic series redefines a timeless classic with veined-patterned surfacing that blends Victorian and Parisian charm with modern execution.

Thanks to Cosentino’s patented HybriQ+® technology, these surfaces are ideal for hard-working spaces like kitchens and bathrooms. Silestone® Le Chic is made using 99% recycled water and 100% renewable energy. It contains at least 20% recycled raw materials and has less than 40% silica in its composition, making it environmentally friendly.

The Le Chic collection is available in six designs: Parisien Bleu, Eclectic Pearl, Versailles Ivory, Victorian Silver, Bohemian Flame and Romantic Ash:

Parisien Bleu  

Parisien Blue gives a nod to the French capital. This deep blue stone makes a statement and is inspired by Imperial Roman stones and fine ochre veins.

Eclectic Pearl

Eclectic Pearl blends classic and modern styles seamlessly, with flowing streams of delicate tones adorned with diamond-like grains. This Le Chic design is particularly mesmerising, with its delicate veining, textured surface, and metallic accents throughout.

Versailles Ivory 

This collection boasts the warmest tone, featuring a subtle two-toned marbling in the background with gradient effects that are mesmerising when the golden sparkle catches the light. The Versailles Ivory exudes luxury and elegance, reminiscent of the opulence found in the Palace of Versailles.

Victorian Silver 

Victorian Silver has soft, subtle two-toned marbling with gradient effects and great depth. Its silver and dark grey veins blend with a cool background tone to create a seamless, elegant colour that fits with warm and cold tones.

Bohemian Flame 

This colour features delicate, sinuous veins with copper-toned metallic inlays. Its appearance is reminiscent of the gentle, flickering flame of a candle, accentuated by small metallic fragments.

Romantic Ash 

Large rivers and grains in various sizes evoking memories of a starry Milky Way. The accent of blue adds depth to the Romantic Ash.

On display during Milan Design Week, “Metamorphic” by Cosentino and Tom Dixon challenged conventional interpretations of bathroom design by reimagining a traditionally functional space by transforming it into a sculptural place of refuge and contemplation.

Spanish surface design specialists Cosentino and world-renowned British designer Tom Dixon came together for Milan Design Week 2023 to create “Metamorphic”, an architectural installation that challenged the perception of the bathroom as a purely functional, hidden space.

Brought to life with Dekton®, an ultracompact stone, “Metamorphic” showcased the versatility, sustainability, and durability of this innovative material. Inspired by Tom Dixon’s fascination with new methods of modular construction and deep understanding of the properties of Dekton®, the sculptural installation featured four modules of varying sizes that showcased a new vision for the bathroom as a focal point of interior architecture. “Metamorphic” aimed to take visitors on a journey through a modular world with surreal shapes and the dramatic effect of water, sound, and light.

“I’ve long been fascinated by prefabricated bathrooms inserted into buildings as modules, which was the departure point and initial inspiration behind ” Metamorphic”’. After visiting the Dekton® production facility in Spain, I was enthralled by the innovation and sustainability of the material. The durability and beauty of Dekton® allowed me to create a unified and seamless 3D installation – almost as if it was carved out of stone. The result showcases the bathroom as a practical place of refuge and awakens the opportunity for these spaces to be more expressive and heroic,” said Tom Dixon.

The sole collection used to create the installation was the new Dekton® Pietra Kode, which reinterprets the timeless beauty of three classic Italian stones: Vicenza, Travertine and Ceppo di Gré. The five colourways featured – Grafite, Sabbia, Ceppo, Nebbia and Marmorio – conveyed the look and natural texture of classic Italian stone.
