• The multinational officially inaugurates a new Cosentino City in Malaga, an innovative exhibition space located in the centre of the Costa del Sol capital.

• The opening ceremony took place last night with the presence of Eduardo Cosentino, among other company directors, and the Mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre

Within its commitment to expanding this innovative model of immersive and experiential exhibition space, Cosentino inaugurates a new City in the heart of Malaga, the capital of the Costa del Sol. This showroom is the 22^nd globally for the world's leading company in the production of innovative surfaces for architecture and design, and the fourth to open in Spain, after Madrid, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca.

Malaga joins an important list of iconic cities such as Sydney, Singapore, New York, Paris, London or Tokyo that already have this innovative space proposal that becomes an amazing design hub where consumers as well as industry and professionals network can meet and be inspired through digital visualizations, exhibitions and events.

Operating since the beginning of the month, Cosentino City Malaga is located in Plaza del Teatro, a well-known square located at the Downtown city. It occupies the entire ground floor of one of a classic and elegant buildings recently renovated which forms one side of the square. With an area near to 420 m2, the new Cosentino space has unified three adjoining premises, now connected through ramps and stairs, thus presenting three spectacular storefronts.

Regarding the reform and design work carried out by Cosentino's internal Design team, the main objective was to contextualize the showroom to condense the warmth, luminosity and color of the city of Malaga, integrating it with the sensations, textures and elements that can be felt throughout the City. This has resulted in the use of limestone tones, the entry of large amounts of light or the use of natural wood in the construction of all the furniture, all contained in a contrast of finishes, fabrics and roughness.

Another fundamental resource to enhance the surroundings of the Malaga capital is the dialogue between the exterior and the interior, which has been achieved thanks to each of the numerous openings in the respective facades. This permeability has materialized thanks to the treatment of each opening as an independent design element, which has been treated with a showcase function in which Cosentino products are displayed, in the same way that they provide different points of light towards the interior. Finally, natural elements such as dark wood, the exuberant vegetation present, or the aforementioned natural light coexist with the warmth and colors provided by the application of Dekton® Nacre or Silestone® Nolita and all the design furniture elements.

A new opening concept

Cosentino City of Malaga has also meant the premiere of a new concept associated with these spaces, and which will serve from now on as a leitmotiv for future Cosentino City openings. Under the claim "Between Desert and Sea", the company exposes the essence of its origins, and the conquest of the main cities and markets in the world through a disruptive and innovative proposal born in Almeria, between the desert and the sea.

The opening event took place last night with the attendance of almost 200 Malaga’s clients, collaborators and professionals from the fields of architecture, design, construction and building, stonemason and K&B shops. For the company, attended the event Eduardo Cosentino, VP Global Sales and CEO of Cosentino NorthAmerica; Eduardo Martínez-Cosentino Ramos, VP Iberia Sales; Álvaro de la Haza, VP Executive and Santiago Alfonso, VP of Communication and Corporate Reputation of Cosentino.
