Fusing Elegance and Urban Energy – Le Chic and Urban Crush by Cosentino
A commitment to elegance, colour and innovation reveals itself in Cosentino’s most recent collections, Le Chic and Urban Crush, which make up part of the brand’s expanding Silestone portfolio. Le Chic’s intricate detailing and Urban Crush’s refreshing palette bring a layered opulence to interiors.
Silestone by Cosentino has taken pride in setting new standards with its innovative design processes and incorporation of leading sustainable technology. The new collections continue to push boundaries, both using HybriQ+ technology, which introduces a new formulation that significantly reduces the presence of crystalline silica and embodies a more sustainable manufacturing process, with 99 per cent re-used water, 100 per cent electric energy from renewable sources and a minimum of 20 per cent recycled materials in their composition – making these collections safer and more sustainable.
The Le Chic Collection is defined by expressive veins and metallic accents made possible by the brand’s moulding system, embodying luxury and sophistication. The two-toned marbling of the Versailles Ivory, the deep blue tone of Parisien Blue and the delicate tones encrusted with diamond-like grains of the Eclectic Pearl are beautifully reminiscent of Victorian and Parisian aesthetics. Similarly, the Victorian Silver, Bohemian Flame and Romantic Ash evoke a subtle, sinuous feel that evokes a refined elegance.
In contrast, the Urban Crush collection draws inspiration from the textures found in cityscapes, capturing the vibrant energy of urban spaces and creating raw and eclectic interiors. Both the Concrete Pulse and Lime Delight feature playful interactions between light and shadow and vibrant tones, while the Cinder Craze and Brass Relish feature darker tones to create a more industrial, rich textural feel.
Vice President of Oceania at Cosentino Itay Shimony comments, “at Cosentino, we are dedicated to upholding our core values of innovation and sustainability in every product we present.” He continues, “with Le Chic, we’ve achieved significant advancements in surfacing technology by meticulously manufacturing the veining in the product, while Urban Crush reflects our constant pulse on modern design trends. This marks an exciting milestone for the Silestone portfolio, and we take great pride in continuing to manufacture these collections sustainably with our HybriQ+ technology.”
Tailored to reflect the contemporary nature of the Australian aesthetic that favours both a classic elegance as well as a vibrant energy, the new collections respond to the urban spaces of today. At the same time, Silestone’s resilience is designed to support durable and functional applications, proudly offering the best of both worlds.
