Cosentino, global leader in the production and distribution of innovative surfaces for architecture and design, launches four stunning quartzites to its range of protected natural stones, Sensa byCosentino®. An ambitious commitment to this premium line, that combines the beauty and natural elegance of quartzites and granites with an exclusive anti-stain treatment that acts at the molecular level for minimal maintenance.
Cosentino introduces four highly aesthetic quartzites that, like the entire brand portfolio, boast the avant-garde Senguard NK anti-stain protection, developed exclusively by Cosentino. Thanks to this technology, the entire Sensa portfolio offers a high level of protection against harmful substances, is scratch resistant and easy to maintain. All new designs come with a certified 15-year warranty.
This performance is accompanied by an incomparable aesthetic. Marau, Oihana, Itara and Cristalo, are designs full of personality, ideal for creating depth and beautiful spaces. These quartzites also feature "Mirage" texture, which, thanks to an abrasive treatment, produces a glossy finish over the entire surface.
Slabs are available in large formats (from a minimum of 110 x 71 inches) and in thicknesses of 20 and 30 mm, perfect for multiple surface application, including bathrooms, kitchens and furniture coverings.
Sensa by Cosentino® is perfect for the most demanding users and professionals, lovers of the unique beauty of natural stone, who need a resistant material with outstanding performance.
Marau: Satin quartzite in a cool grey with nuances of blue, gold, burgundy, and cream. Marau’s striking pattern blends broad veins and sharp lines, creating a dynamic visual effect.
Oihana: Oihana has white veins that slide across the deep black surface, altering the pattern with touches of grey, cream, and brown. The clear lines create dynamism, captivate the eye, and evoke unexpected depths against the intense black background.
Itara: An emerald green quartzite with white and copper accents that draw soft, peaceful waves. It is a refined and sophisticated stone with a life of its own.
Cristalo: A stunning natural stone with translucent white to light grey hues and subtle veining. This silvery shades evokes a boundless expanse of ice and snow, creating a relaxing atmosphere in any space.

Cosentino, global leaders in the production of sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, expands its bathroom portfolio with the launch of Zoe TOP. A new model of bathroom sink by Silestone® with Integrity Technology that allows the seamless integration of basin and countertop for total visual continuity.
Responding to trends that seek organic and curved shapes with soft lines, Zoe TOP is a refined expression of form and function. Made from a single, uninterrupted piece, it eliminates visible joins; a unique feature that enhances both the visual purity, practical performance and everyday maintenance of the basin. Highly resistant to stains, scratches and chemicals, this design also contributes to the product’s long-term durability, making Zoe TOP the smart and reliable solution.
The Zoe TOP offers thoughtful customisation, with four design options:
- Zoe TOP: A stylish and minimalist sink with organic lines, which instantly enhances the concept of bathroom design. - Zoe TOP + Basa: Customised Zoe TOP model with a base of straight lines at just the right height to subtly and proportionally lift the sink on the bathroom counter. - Zoe TOP Bao: Variant with a rounded finish that results in a soft and harmonious touch for the sink and the bathroom as a whole. - Zoe TOP Bao + Basa Round: Elevate this variant of the model with a base of rounded edges.
All options are available in three prominent Silestone® colours – choose between Desert Silver, a sophisticated grey with subtle veins; Blanco Zeus, the perfect choice for a bright and timeless bathroom; and Calacatta Gold, which brings the luxury and elegance of marble with the resistance and durability of Silestone.
Installation is quick and hassle-free, with the Zoe TOP ready to fit seamlessly into existing design plans and bathroom schemes, optimizing timings and guaranteeing a flawless result.
Being able to now specify basins in the same design as countertops, splashbacks, shower trays and wall cladding, further elevates the bathroom space as a true place of well-being, a place of calm and sanctuary.
Zoe TOP is more than just a surface, it’s a design-led solution that combines beauty, innovation and practicality in one timeless piece.
“What really sets it apart is its ability to integrate and be customised to seamlessly work with other Silestone elements as a seamless piece, allowing for a cohesive, design-led space that doesn’t compromise on durability.
Available in three distinctive shades, our flawless bright Blanco Zeus; elegantly veined grey Desert Silver, or more luxurious marble finish of Calacatta Gold, the ZOE Top can be easily combined with other Cosentino brand solutions for visual continuity.” - Katie Parry-Stone, Cosentino UK Retail Expert
Lucy Black, Head of Business Development at Kenoteq, has given her insights into the industry.
Kenoteq has been established to bring positive environmental impact to interior and architectural projects, disrupting the status quo of traditional brick production and bringing a more modern and sustainable material to the fore – with a contemporary edge and wide colour choice. Kenoteq’s award-winning K-Briqs and K-Slips are made from near 100% recycled construction and demolition waste and are unfired and made to a low energy production process ensuring an end product that is ultra-low carbon, durable and 100% recyclable at its end of life.
Kenoteq started life in Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, developing into a research spin-out project with Scottish waste management company, Hamilton Waste & Recycling. Heriot Watt University was carrying out research into circular economy applications for construction and demolition waste and Hamilton Waste & Recycling were looking for new applications for their recycled gypsum from waste plasterboard and so a company was born in 2019. It has taken another 5 years to raise investment, set up a commercial scale production facility and push through product, quality and environmental certifications, but 2005 will see Kenoteq roll out the manufacture of 3 million low carbon K-Briqs and K-Slips, thereby breathing new life into 6,600 tonnes of recycled construction and demolition materials and saving them from landfill. These 3 million products will provide 50,000 m2 of coverage for interiors and facades – as well as saving 1,365 tonnes of carbon emission equivalent (CO2e) compared to if traditional bricks or brickslips had been manufactured!
The products not only look striking, but they also have a really interesting circular economy story to lend to a project - and can help educate those living, working or using the space that regenerative and sustainable materials are the future, leaving our earth’s finite raw materials intact, saving materials from landfill, reducing our carbon footprint significantly – and they can be recycled at their end of life!
The K-Briq and K-Slip are coloured using recycled pigments and so choosing from a wide colour palette of 12 certified colours means they can lend either a traditional, contemporary or vibrant edge to a project depending on the colours chosen. Our Pure Black, Medero Dark Grey and Medero Light Grey can look very bold and contemporary, whist our Chapman Burnt Oranges and Watt Browns can help bring a warmer, more traditional feel to a project. And then there are our more striking colours – Heriot Mustard & Mustard Light, Gullane Cyan and Cyan Light and Gillespie Magenta and Magenta Light that ooze personality whether used individually or together for walling, features, furniture or surfaces.
Our brickslips are naturally a popular choice over bricks for interior designers to preserve floorspace and have a lighter solution to work with. We’ve developed our range of brickslips this year so not only do we offer a brick-faced slip in each colour, but we also have a cut-faced slip in each colour. The cut-faced slips have a terrazzo feel, beautifully exposing fragments of the bound recycled materials – and exposing more of this history of the product.
Locally made, low carbon materials and those grounded in the circular economy are key to the industry reducing its environmental impact and carbon footprint. The certified inert waste materials used in Kenoteq’s K-Briqs and K-Slips are all currently sourced in the UK but are readily available worldwide, meaning that as we scale and grow, we can set-up production facilities on a regional basis internationally, providing a solution to the local construction and demolition waste piles and providing locally manufactured products for local projects. This will not only reduce the transportation and importation of heavy materials, but it will also support local supply chains and create local jobs all whilst providing beautifully aesthetic low carbon materials for interiors and the wider built environment.
We are currently delivering CPD sessions on a personal or virtual basis to interior design and architectural practices to share our story and product range. And we are also working with clients who believe in our ethos and want to introduce us to their designers to look for demonstrator projects for these new products. We’ve also been very fortunate to win a number of awards over the last few years that have raised awareness of our brand and made us some fantastic connections. It’s great when the interior designers seek us out! We won the Dezeen Awards in 2022 for Sustainable Design winning both the global public vote and the judges’ votes. We’ve recently completed an interior project for Europe’s largest retailer, the Schwarz Group, for some interior walls in their flagship sustainability hypermarket store and were delighted that Skidmore Owings Merrill (SOM) included us as a key material in a flagship COP28 Pavilion in Dubai for Dubai Holding who own the Jumeirah Group and large scale hotel, leisure and real estate. The Pavilion has since been deconstructed and rebuilt again as a legacy feature in Dubai Holdings’ HQ.
On a collaborative level, the team have good experience and can advise on Whole Life Carbon accounting and also, for every project we supply, we also provide key storytelling data in terms of how much recycled material is within each project and how much carbon has been saved compared to using traditional fired brick products. We try to bring that alive for each particular project. For example, a recent counter project for Gail’s Bakery saved the carbon equivalent of boiling the water for 100,000 cups of coffee just through the selection of the recycled low carbon K-Briq over a traditional brick!
Finally completing our product certification testing for the material allows us to confidently provide all the technical specification data that interior designers and architects are looking for from compressive strength and durability (both high!) to fire ratings. Our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) will also be published very soon to provide verified environmental and carbon data.
Moving into our launch phase and supplying into early adopter projects has been a key highlight, from domestic interiors, to museums and galleries to flagship stores like Kaufland – it is great after our long journey to see the products finally being used in a multitude of applications and making an environmental statement.
Within interiors, it is our Medero Dark Grey and Gullane Cyan and Cyan Light that are seeing the most project interest – and we can see that too in our page visits on our website. The Medero Dark Grey is striking and contemporary and brings smokey tones to projects. The Gullane Cyan and Cyan Light bring teal and turquoise tones to a project and can look very sharp and fresh teamed with light mortars.
Some designers want to bring their own mark to projects with the development of bespoke colours and that is a service we can offer whether it is to colour match in a refurbishment project or match a brand colour, or just evoke the right tone and mood for the wider project palette.
There is definitely increasing awareness amongst the interior design community of the environmental importance of material selection, and the impact that material choice can have on both the project’s carbon footprint both at delivery and its end of life and deconstruction. Initiatives such as Interior Designer Declares adds additional weight to the movement within the sector, inspiring, educating, collaborating and campaigning for a more sustainable future. This movement across the sector will continue to grow and gain pace in the year ahead.
2025 and 2026 are the years where you will see the K-Briq and K-Slip in their myriad of colours appearing in more and more projects from our pipeline. We have two great theatre projects in the pipeline which we can’t wait to share.
As a young business, it is important to gain verification and be acknowledged as a player in an established industry. The SBID provide good information, platforms, access to networks and event opportunities that help Kenoteq make the right connections and create strong brand, product and project awareness and we will look forward to using the services more extensively this year.

Cosentino, global leader in the production of sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, introduces its latest collection, Silestone® Ukiyo. Following the successful launch in 2023 of Dekton® Ukiyo, the first collection of ready-to-install fluted tiles in the industry, this collection extension brings nuanced texture to Silestone® surfaces to create depth, dimension and character.
Designed for contemporary residential and commercial interiors, Silestone® Ukiyo will be available in matte or polished finishes and two fluted options: GV2 with grooves set 25 mm apart and measure 5mm wide and 3 mm deep; and GV3 with grooves set 11 mm apart and are 4mm wide and deep. Silestone® Ukiyo’s large format facilitates its use in broader applications, minimising joints to create a more seamless finish. Its slimline weight also opens the way to multiple tiling and decorative applications due to its lightness and practicality.
Designed to add texture and interest, most colours in the wider portfolio are now available with Ukiyo, including the recent EARTHIC and Le Chic Boheme collections by Silestone®XM.
Silestone®XM is manufactured using 99% reused water and 100% renewable energy, incorporates a minimum of 20% recycled raw materials in its composition and contains less than 10% of crystalline silica belonging to the category introduced this year.
Raw D from EARTHIC – A dark natural stone-effect backdrop creates a mood of tranquillity and elegance. Featuring diffused scattered streaks of bronze weaves through a charcoal landscape, Ukiyo enhances Raw D’s drama and contemporary style.
Bohemian Flame from Le Chic – This colour presents subtle sinuous veins with metallic inlays in copper shades. The movement of the golden flows of lava that generate scars on volcanic soil inspires it. It’s reminiscent of the calmly moving golden flame of candles accentuating tiny metallic pieces.
Parisien Bleu from Le Chic – Taking inspiration from the French Capital, this colourway boasts a deep bluish tone with strong personality and powerful character. Inspired by the shades seen in famous Imperial Roman stones, combined with fine veins in ochre tones.
Versailles Ivory from Le Chic – Very subtle two-toned marbling in the background with gradient effects mesmerize with the flickering lights of its golden sparkle. Bringing warmth and glamour, Versailles Ivory exudes luxury and elegance reminiscent of the exuberance of the Palace of Versailles.
Lime Delight from Urban Crush – The textured beige tones of Lime Delight provide a versatile base for any interior, from calm and minimal spaces to unexpected, bold looks. Warm and bright, it replicates the beauty and luminosity of the renowned Marbella limestone.
Blanc Elysee from Le Chic Boheme – A delicate lattice of golden, grey, and copper veins run through a bright cream background that evokes the timeless elegance of classic Parisian palaces.
Cosentino, global leader in sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, announces the launch of its new Le Chic Bohème by Silestone®XM collection. Le Chic Bohème’s four new low silica colours further showcase how Silestone brings high aesthetics and unparalleled details to the world of design. Expanding on its initial collection launched in 2023, the new Le Chic Bohème collection embodies the luxury aesthetic and superiority of Cosentino’s leading hybrid mineral surfaces.
The essence of Parisian style and bohemian flair comes to life with Le Chic Bohème by Silestone®XM, a collection with elegance at the fore. The collection features four new colours: Jardin Emerald, Rivière Rose, Château Brown & Blanc Élysèe, all with sophisticated veining and nuanced patterns that bring distinguished depth to designs. From soft and delicate hues to bold and dramatic accents, Le Chic Bohème allows designers and architects to create unique and distinctive spaces.
A collection born from innovation and sustainability, Le Chic Bohème strengthens the advancement in Cosentino’s surface manufacturing, as the detailed veining requires an all-new system of design. The intricate, interlocking veins are made possible by a full-body molding system featuring integrated veined design across the entire surface and thickness. This enables full continuity of the veining through finishes on edges and recesses, whether curved, die-cut or milled cut, allowing designers and architects to create luxurious spaces with authenticity.
The real sustainability comes from Cosentino’s patented Hybriq+® technology. Le Chic Bohème is manufactured using 99% reused water and 100% renewable energy, incorporates a minimum of 20% recycled raw materials in its composition and contains less than 10% of crystalline silica belonging to the category introduced this year, Silestone®XM.
Jardin Emerald - Thanks to a sophisticated pattern of golden veins with metallic accents and black and cream color notes, Jardin Emerald reinvents the natural beauty of exclusive green marbles, creating a versatile finish with great graphic depth.
Rivière Rose - A sea of taupé and blush pink veins bring personality and vibrance to a warm white background. Rivière Rose pays homage to the whimsical patterns of ocean waves as they break on the coast of the French Riviera.
Château Brown – An elegant dark brown featuring a subtle marble finish, Chateau Brown is filled with light thanks to reflections of metallic pink-copper and bronze veining. A daring composition that connects earthy tones and on-trend design.
Blanc Élysèe - A delicate lattice of golden, gray, and copper veins run through a bright cream background that evokes the timeless elegance of classic Parisian palaces.
In September, the highly appreciated Elements expands with four new colours, making the collection even more versatile.
Elements features a balanced, natural melange look, drawing inspiration from nature. It highlights natural tones inspired by tactile materials such as stone, wood, and textiles. With its calm base colours and Scandinavian feel, Elements’ simple versatility makes it an exceptional neutral backdrop for diverse interiors.
"We have enhanced the tactile and textile characteristics in the new Elements collection, deepening the colours and making them comforting and pleasant. It’s a subtle blend of hues, neutral colours, and chromatic accents. The collection ranges from rich, rustic, earthy tones to lighter, crisp, and cool colours. They blend into the environment, almost as if they were taken directly from nature", says Lisa Jarhult, Product Developer at Bolon.
The collection withstands the high footfall levels common in large spaces. Its calm, natural aesthetic means it can be used effectively across large areas, creating a sense of unity in spaces of all sizes. The collection consists of twelve articles that create a contemporary design with a warm and welcoming feeling to any space and interior.

Cosentino, global leader in producing and distributing sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, introduces Dekton® Pietra Edition, a modern and innovative collection inspired by iconic Mediterranean stones. The collection is a continuation of the highly successful 2023 launch of Dekton® Pietra Kode - the vision of renowned designer and architect Daniel Germani. New Pietra Kode designs are now available in the UK.
The ultracompact Dekton® Pietra Edition collection adapts the beauty and detail of traditional stones such as Travertine, Piasentina, Ceppo Di Gré, and Campaspero, with enhanced realism and durability to meet the demands of today’s architecture and interior design aspirations.
“Pietra Edition is the new journey to the origin of timeless and Mediterranean architecture already started with Pietra Kode,” said Daniel Germani. “I am proud to continue my collaboration with Cosentino to bring the designs of Pietra Edition to designers, architects, and homeowners as a surface that is both timeless and innovative.”
Thanks to Dekton's innovative TSP technology, the carbon-neutral Dekton® Pietra Edition collection introduces a technological layer to iconic natural stones, with six serene designs that bring a warmth and modern elegance to any indoor or outdoor project. The collection pays homage to the enduring elegance of Mediterranean natural stones while elevating their design, features, and sensorial perception, creating spaces full of luminosity, modernity and simplicity.
- Trevi’s cream base, marked by a parallel pattern of irregular veins in shades of gray and blue, is inspired by the classic beauty of Roman silver Travertine.
- Nebu recreates the depth of Roman Travertine, and its beautiful irregularities bring a unique timeless design to any space.
- Adia provides a versatile finish with a silky appearance. Its cream tone and soft white lines make any design project extraordinary.
- Ava is inspired by Ceppo di Gré, the original stone from the Lombardy region that stands out for its rough appearance, but in a warmer design not found in nature, perfect for Mediterranean style design.
- Polar reveals beautiful irregularities from the Spanish stone Campaspero, reinterpreted in a unique hyper-realistic pattern that combines an irregular base in beige tones with grayish and cream veins, small inlays, and fossils.
- Sandik provides the traditional elegance of Campaspero in a softer finish, with a cream background and a subtle haze of gray tones, that performs extremely well for outdoor applications.
A striking retail or hospitality counter is central to an outlet’s design and success – and should always tell a good story. Even better when the story is an ethical and sustainable one, that focuses on recycling waste materials and reducing the carbon footprint of the outlet.
Focused primarily on brands who put sustainability high on their agendas, Edinburgh-based Kenoteq are bringing new aesthetics and a strong circular economy language and style to interiors. The K-BRIQ and the slimmer K-SLIP tile product, are breathing new life into construction and demolition waste, one of the world’s most prolific waste streams – and, most importantly, they are helping to divert them from landfill and convert them into decorative surfaces through a low energy and carbon production process. The cladding products are made from near 100% waste materials, a mix of recycled aggregates (old bricks, old stone and old mortars to headline the main ingredients), with a good dose of recycled plasterboard and recycled pigments to give the colour variety.
Not only is the counter a key point of sale, it needs to attract and hold attention as well as be robust, durable and extol and support the brand or outlet’s style and values.
Kenoteq’s striking bricks and tiles are available in a myriad of both traditional and bold colours which not only look stunning but critically are unfired and so have a tiny carbon footprint compared to traditional bricks and ceramics. But with a comparative durability and strength.
Gail’s Bakery is one of the first nationwide brands to showcase this product to support their ethical ‘neighbourhood bakery’ brand.
Holland Harvey began working with bakery Gail’s nearly 10 years ago, refurbishing the original Hampstead bakery in 2013. They have now delivered over 60 new bakeries in neighbourhoods across the UK and recently used the Gullane Cyan Light K-SLIP to show-off the bakery’s counter items in the Weybridge outlet in Surrey. Bold and fresh, the geometric counter and seating designs in this teal blue are inspired by the historical charm of nearby Brooklands Airfield and the geometric architecture of the existing building.
Gail’s Bakery’s Kings Street, Manchester outlet designed by sustainable hospitality specialists, Object Space Place, showcases the magenta K-BRIQ in a striking checkerboard “hit and miss” design – Kenoteq calculated the carbon savings of using the K-BRIQ in this design over a traditional brick to be the equivalent of boiling the water for 100,000 cups of coffee!
“The world needs to move rapidly towards a more sustainable future and the hospitality sector can take a leading role in this,” says Rizvi Khaleque, CEO of Indian Streetfood Chain, Tuk Tuk in Edinburgh, whose latest vibrant interior design by leading Edinburgh-based interior design firm, S+ Co, puts the Gillespie Magenta and Heriot Mustard frogged K-BRIQs into a statement bar design with a jewel-like quality that is a focal point for diners. It also encases half a tonne of recycled construction and demolition waste. And saves over 130 kg CO2e compared to being built in traditional brick – a keen saving for a still relatively modest counter.
“The interiors for this second Tuk Tuk outlet took inspiration from the vibrant architecture and food found across India,” explains Claire Jones, Senior Interior Designer at S+Co. “S+Co looked to create a space that was welcoming and fun, a playful reflection of Tuk Tuk’s Indian street good culture and the diverse neighbourhood of their new location.”
The K-BRIQ and K-SLIP are fully circular products from the built environment for the built environment. Not only is careful consideration for the environment the story of the materials themselves, the production process uses minimal energy with no firing in the equation to significantly reduce the reliance on fossil fuels in production. Instead Kenoteq’s factory relies on renewable energy sources, biomass and wind power. Finally, the closed loop circular nature of the final product, means that K-BRIQs and K-SLIPs can be safely recycled themselves into recycled aggregate at their end of life – which means of course they can be remade into further K-BRIQ or K-SLIP products.
Good design decisions really don’t need to cost the earth!
