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 that values authenticity and craftsmanship, embracing the imperfections that make us unique. A trend that favours 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 colour, part of Dekton's Kraftizen collection, is inspired by natural pigments used for centuries by artisans and creators worldwide. Its warm terracotta tone conveys warmth, history, and resilience.

Applied in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor spaces, it brings a welcoming and enveloping character. Additionally, its textured surface reflects the strength of craftsmanship, of what is born from the earth. With Umber, design regains a sense of belonging and reminds us that true luxury lies in the essentials.

Ceppo (Dekton): the timeless beauty of Italian stone

Inspired by Ceppo di Gré stone, native to northern Italy, Dekton's Ceppo tone combines a grey-blue base with a multifaceted structure that evokes dynamism and authenticity. This material has been used for centuries in Milanese architecture and is now reinvented 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 eponymous stone, an Italian-origin material characterised by the presence of fossilised 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—worktops, floors, or cladding—as its understated elegance easily adapts to various styles. Avorio reminds us that materials with history are also the most innovative when applied with contemporary sensitivity.

Petrified Wood (Prexury): nature transformed into art

Few surfaces convey as much authenticity as petrified wood, a material formed over 240 million years through a fossilisation process where 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 unparalleled design where each piece tells a millennia-old story, adding a sophisticated, warm, and deeply authentic touch to spaces.

Origin: a colour palette to reconnect with humanity

The Origin trend is not just an aesthetic selection; it is an attitude. Its colours—deep 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, Origin champions the value of handmade, local, and historically rich creations.

The four Cosentino tones we have 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 surfaces speak of heritage and authenticity while offering the resilience and low maintenance demanded by modern design.

Be inspired by our consciously designed and rooted surfaces

Choosing colours and materials is no longer merely decorative; it is an act of identity and sustainability. Opting for surfaces inspired by pigments, stones, and woods of natural origin means embracing conscious design that respects the heritage of the past and responsibly projects the future.

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