Silestone® by Cosentino hybrid surfaces: the new Urban Crush collection

The Cosentino Group presented at Cosentino City Milano in Piazza Fontana, the new Urban Crush collection by Silestone®, inspired by the aesthetics of the contemporary city.

Silestone®, a brand of excellence in the world of hybrid surfaces for architecture and design, is a blend of premium minerals and recycled materials with high technical performance for indoor applications.

Like all the latest Silestone® surfaces, Urban Crush is produced using Cosentino's patented HybriQ+ technology, an innovative production process that reconfirms the company's commitment to the environment, the circular economy and sustainable resource management. In fact, the HybriQ+ technology uses 99% recycled water and 100% renewable electricity throughout the entire production process; in its composition there is a minimum of 20% recycled materials and less than 40% crystalline silica.

 

Four new colors that are neutral, yet have a strong personality

Silestone®'s Urban Crush collection introduces a new range of colors that are seemingly neutral, but actually feature noticeable and recognizable details reminiscent of limestone and sandstone. There are four colors of the new hybrid surfaces - Lime Delight, Concrete Pulse, Brass Relish and Cinder Craze - inspired by the textures of the city and suitable for creating neutral backdrops for multifunctional and eclectic spaces characteristic of different styles of contemporary living.

A collection inspired by the colors and textures of the city

Lime Delight's beige shades are a versatile base for any type of decor, ranging from more monochromatic environments to more unusual proposals. Its warm, bright hues recall the luminosity of Marbella's famous limestone.

In contrast, the hybrid Silestone® Concrete Pulse surface features a gray hue, perfect for versatile interiors, helping to create a play of natural contrasts with light and shadow.

Sophisticated and elegant, Brass Relish is inspired by finely grained sandstone. The grainy details of its surface blend with the colors and features of a modern vintage style.

Finally, a modern reinterpretation of black sandstone characterizes Cinder Craze; its dark, grainy tones add personality to industrial-style interiors

 

Silestone®, ideal surfaces for kitchen worktops

Silestone® hybrid surfaces are the ideal solution for worktops in kitchens and bathrooms but are also used in laboratories, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and other professional spaces.

In fact, this technological material boasts extremely high resistance to stains, knocks and scratches, as well as low liquid absorption. The unique N-Boost technology also simplifies cleaning and maintenance of surfaces, while increasing their color intensity and brilliance.
