		<description><![CDATA[As one of the first to feature fluted tiles, Cosentino continues to bring cutting-edge, sustainable solutions to the world of design Cosentino, the global leader in the production of sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, announces Dekton® Ukiyo, a new textured collection that is available in ready-to-instal fluted tiles, one of the first offerings of its kind in the industry. The collection, which offers livable luxury with the durability of Dekton®, was created in collaboration with internationally recognised interior and product designer Claudia Afshar. Dekton®, which is full life-cycle carbon neutral, was selected for the collection due to its sustainable properties and high-performance capabilities. Dekton® Ukiyo was inspired by Japanese and contemporary design. Celebrating the art of minimalism and embracing the present, Ukiyo – which means ‘to live in the moment’ – is designed to awaken the senses and evoke a feeling of harmonious wellness. ‘Playing with texture is timeless, and it is so important in all materials, not just fabric,’ said Claudia Afshar. ‘I have always been inspired by the materials found in nature and making the spaces I design as comfortable, warm and authentic as possible. Ukiyo is calming yet simplistic, and the colourways and fluting are romantic, [...]]]></description>

Urban Crush is a new series updated with a lively modern aesthetic for raw urban spaces. Le Chic shows all the elegance and sophistication of Silestone®.

		<description><![CDATA[A ‘warm and welcoming’, multifaceted yet tranquil space has taken top honours in the second Samsung Bespoke Home Challenge, in which up-and-coming South African designers were challenged to create an integrated kitchen/living room inspired by a colour in the Samsung Bespoke range. Zwelibanzi Nzuza, a final-year design student from KwaZulu-Natal, centred his design around a bold white and yellow multicoloured modular French-door Samsung Bespoke Refrigerator with a grey beverage centre. Innovative Spanish surface brand Cosentino helped the four young finalists bring their designs to life, kitting them out with the materials needed to create their bespoke space inspired by the colours Clean White, Satin Grey, Satin Sky Blue and Glam Pink. Cosentino provided each of the participants with three slabs of material to decorate their integrated kitchen and living room designs. Other sponsors of the Challenge were St Leger &#38; Viney, Lavish’d, Plascon, Careline Living Spaces, BoConcept South Africa and Wolkberg Casting Studios. Nzuza’s winning space, themed Clean White, featured Cosentino’s Silestone, a premium hybrid surface made from natural minerals and recycled materials, in the serene Posidonia Green colour, as well as two slabs of Dekton’s ultracompact stone, in marbled Morpheus white and the subtle Micron grey.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; While the kitchen has emerged in recent years as the epicentre of the home and a social and work meeting point, the bathroom is increasingly becoming a central part of our daily lives. A space of wellbeing and comfort, the bathroom is a personal sanctuary that is undergoing a process of both functional and decorative change. This trend embodies the importance of design, whether in terms of materials, performance or aesthetics, as well as the integration of innovation and the latest technologies. A benchmark for decades in the kitchen sector, Cosentino is now launching its most ambitious venture to date in the bathroom area with its new C·Bath brand. A comprehensive approach to reimagining bathroom spaces for both private and public projects, C Bath takes full advantage of the versatility of Cosentino’s surfaces and applications. As it has been doing since its inception, the Spanish company goes beyond the usual concept, and with C·Bath offers a complete and versatile vision of the bathroom based on innovation and sustainability in the design of unique and personalised atmospheres. The result is comprehensive environments where art and design merge, in a dialogue between iconic pieces and Cosentino surface applications, such as cladding, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On display during Milan Design Week, the installation challenges conventional interpretations of the bathroom from a simply functional space to a sculptural place of refuge and contemplation &#8211; made possible with Dekton® For Milan Design Week 2023, Cosentino Group, the Spanish global leader in producing and distributing innovative and sustainable surfaces, is collaborating with world-renowned British designer Tom Dixon and his team at Design Research Studio, to inspire the design world with a bold architectural vision for the bathroom space entitled, &#8220;Metamorphic.” Brought to life nearly entirely with Dekton®, the ultracompact stone, the installation showcases the versatility, sustainability, and durability of innovative materials to spark ideas for the future of bathrooms. Challenging the perception of the bathroom as a purely functional, hidden space, &#8220;Metamorphic&#8221; is a high-impact, architectural and sculptural intervention that reinvents the position and visibility of the bathroom in interior design. Inspired by Tom Dixon’s fascination with new methods of modular construction and deep understanding of the properties of Dekton®, the installation features four modules of varying size that showcase a new vision of the bathroom space as a focal point of interior architecture. &#8220;Metamorphic&#8221; brings visitors on a journey through the modular world, with surreal shapes and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by Italian architecture with an eye to the future, the collection reimagines classic stones in contemporary beauty with the high performance of Dekton®  The Cosentino Group, the global leader in producing and distributing innovative and sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, introduces a new high-performance, ultra-compact stone collection: Dekton® Pietra Kode, the vision of renowned designer and architect Daniel Germani. Pietra Kode reinterprets the timeless beauty of three classic Italian stones: Vicenza, Travertine and Ceppo di Gré. Each of these antique natural stones is decoded and then recoded within three Dekton® concrete series, enhancing their properties and the many possibilities for their use in architecture and design. Each colour breathes contemporary elegance into the design, with the rich shades and textures creating a sensory experience beyond what the eye can see. The carbon-neutral Dekton® surface allows the collection to be used for a virtually limitless range of indoor and outdoor applications.   Pietra Kode marks the third collection developed by Dekton® with designer and architect Daniel Germani. While Germani’s previous Industrial and Chromica collections for the brand have often had an industrial bent, the seven hues that make up Pietra Kode channel the influence of Vicenza, Travertine and the iconic Ceppo [...]]]></description>
