Piasentina stone: Dekton reinvents its classic beauty for eternity

In the vast universe of interior design and architecture, certain materials have stood the test of time, not only for their durability, but also for their timeless beauty. Piasentina stone is a clear example of this. Originally from Italy, this stone has been a symbol of elegance and robustness for centuries. 

Thanks to the constant evolution of technology, the reinterpretation of classic materials has enabled new levels of design and functionality to be achieved. A perfect example of this is Piacentine Edition, Dekton’s reinvention of the Piasentina stone to make it last forever. This article explores how Dekton has transformed this traditional stone into a modern and durable design solution, ideal for contemporary projects that seek a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance.

The timeless elegance of Piasentina stone

Originally from the Friuli region of Italy, Piasentina stone is renowned for its elegance and sophistication. With a rich history going back centuries, this stone has been used in numerous historic buildings and monuments. Its distinctive appearance, characterised by grey and brown shades with white and golden veins, adds a sense of understated luxury that was much appreciated in classical architecture.

However, natural stone has its limitations in terms of durability and maintenance. This is where Dekton comes in, revolutionising the way we perceive and use this material.

The façade of the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Milan is proof of the extraordinary visual effect that this stone from northern Italy can create with its delicate lines.

Its versatile cream shade and white lines, together with Dekton’s extraordinary durability, make this design the best candidate for residential projects, especially for façades and outdoor claddings. 

Dekton’s new colour ADIA features a versatile finish with a silky appearance inspired by Italian Piasentina stone that dynamically recreates a subtle brown marbling and light white veining over a soft cream background.

Dekton’s reinterpretation of the Piasentina stone opens up a wide range of possibilities in the world of contemporary design. Its versatility allows it to be used in different residential and commercial environments, always bringing a touch of classic beauty combined with modern innovation.

Monumental façades of classical beauty

In exterior applications, its resistance to extreme weather conditions makes it ideal for façades, terraces and courtyards. Dekton’s durability ensures that its beauty is maintained over time without the need for intensive maintenance.

In this façade, the silky appearance of ADIA is combined with the texture of AVA, Dekton’s reinvented Ceppo di Gré, to create a subtle contrast and greater richness in the design.

Kitchens with subtle contrasts

Dekton ADIA has become an exceptional choice for kitchen and bathroom worktops. Its high resistance to stains and its ability to withstand high temperatures make it ideal for these heavily used areas. In addition, its non-porous surface prevents the proliferation of bacteria, contributing to a more hygienic and safer environment.

This kitchen plays with warm focal points on cool backgrounds, a great way to create contrast within a range of similar colours. In this case, an island with a cantilevered table in Dekton Adia stands out against a floor clad in large format Dekton Polar slabs. 

Furniture with timeless design

Dekton can also be used to create unique pieces of furniture, such as tables and shelves, which add a touch of distinction and sophistication to any environment. The ability to work with different formats and finishes of the material allows designers to explore new creative frontiers.

Dekton Adia features a subtle brown marbling and light white veining, making it a truly versatile decorative surface. The high resistance to scratches and stains and the wide range of thicknesses available for this ultra-compact Cosentino surface make the number of possible applications almost endless. In this living room, both the oval table and the wall cladding set the tone for a predominantly grey environment, which is enhanced by the upholstery of the sofas and a large-format Dekton Polar floor with almost invisible joints.

Bathrooms that connect with classic elegance

Dekton’s wide range of thicknesses (4, 8, 12, 20 and 30 mm) and its ease of handling allow it to be used in a variety of applications and formats, from custom cuts, such as this herringbone floor in Dekton Grigio (from the Pietra Kode collection), to standard sizes such as Optimma (2600 x 1000 x 4 mm), designed to maximise material savings when installing wall claddings. 

In this bathroom, the silky Dekton Adia has been used extensively, from the walls to the countertop and architectural elements such as the skirting boards and door jambs.
