These 4 Cosentino tones will add an authentic touch to your designs

In a world dominated by technological innovation and digital environments, design seeks to return to the essentials: to what connects us with our roots, the earth, and our cultural memory. The Origen macrotrend, featured in the book Shaping Tomorrow: Future Design & Architecture 2025–2026 by Cosentino, addresses this need.

It is a perspective rooted in authenticity and craftsmanship, embracing the imperfections that make us unique. This trend emphasizes noble materials, natural pigments, and surfaces that convey heritage and warmth. In this context, Cosentino presents four tones from its portfolio that perfectly embody this journey back to the origin.

Design authentic spaces with these four Cosentino tones

Umber (Dekton Kraftizen): the terracotta that connects with the earth

The Umber color, part of the Kraftizen collection by Dekton, is inspired by the natural pigments used for centuries by artisans and creators worldwide. Its warm terracotta hue conveys closeness, history, and resilience.

Applied in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor spaces, it adds a welcoming and enveloping character. Its textured surface also reflects the strength of craftsmanship, of what comes from the earth. With Umber, design recaptures the feeling of belonging and reminds us that true luxury lies in the essential.

Ceppo (Dekton): the timeless beauty of Italian stone

Inspired by Ceppo di Gré stone from northern Italy, Dekton's Ceppo tone combines a bluish-gray base with a multifaceted structure that evokes dynamism and authenticity. This material has been used for centuries in Milanese architecture and is now reimagined as a versatile and contemporary finish.

Ideal for both interiors and exteriors, Ceppo adds character and elegance to any project. It exemplifies how a material with centuries-old heritage can become a timeless aesthetic resource for future design.

Avorio (Dekton): clarity and delicacy with fossil history

Dekton's Avorio tone is inspired by the namesake stone, an Italian-origin material characterized by the presence of fossilized shells. Its light and natural finish conveys purity and continuity, making it a perfect canvas for projects seeking light and harmony.

This design is particularly suitable for applications requiring visual continuity—countertops, floors, or claddings—as its understated elegance adapts effortlessly to multiple styles. Avorio reminds us that materials with history are also the most innovative when applied with contemporary sensitivity.

Petrified Wood (Prexury): nature turned into art

Few surfaces exude as much authenticity as petrified wood, a material formed over more than 240 million years through a fossilization process in which minerals gradually replace organic matter.

Cosentino, through its exclusive Prexury brand, has transformed this natural treasure into a luxury material, crafted artisanally and designed for unique projects. The result is an unrepeatable design where each piece tells a millennia-old story and adds a sophisticated, warm, and profoundly authentic touch to spaces.

Origen: a color palette to reconnect with humanity

The Origen trend is not just an aesthetic selection; it is an attitude. Its colors—intense burgundy, vintage greens, terracottas, and earthy neutrals—aim to create intimate and honest atmospheres. At a time when artificial intelligence and technology set the pace of innovation, Origen reclaims the value of the handmade, the local, and the historical.

The four Cosentino tones we've highlighted (Umber, Ceppo, Avorio, and Petrified Wood) align with this philosophy, as they combine the natural with the contemporary, the durable with the emotional. These are surfaces that speak of heritage and authenticity while offering the durability and low maintenance demanded by contemporary design.

Get inspired with our consciously designed and rooted surfaces

Choosing colors and materials is no longer merely a decorative matter; it is an act of identity and sustainability. Opting for surfaces inspired by pigments, stones, and woods of natural origin means choosing conscious design that respects the heritage of the past and envisions the future with responsibility.

With its proposal of authentic tones, Cosentino becomes an essential ally for designers, architects, and creators who aim to bring soulful spaces to life. Places where every surface is not only seen but also felt.
