Milan, 17-22 April 2012 – the Spanish multinational and world leader in the production and distribution of quartz, natural stone and recycled surfaces, Cosentino, is presenting an innovative project developed by Brazilian designers, Fernando and Humberto Campana at Fuorisalone 2012. Shaping Silestone® is the name of this innovative design, which combines conceptual and sculptural ideas to create an object that can be used every day, integrating a worktop, stove, table and sink.
Shaping Silestone® has been designed to be an active piece of furniture, in a mobile structure, with different stories to tell and different roles to play. Ultimately, Shaping Silestone® can become what any customer wants from it, as it takes on the role and personality of each person.
Cosentino and Estudio Campana
This is the second time that Cosentino has worked with Fernando and Humberto Campana, two renowned experts in the world of international design. In 2010, they jointly presented the project “Campanas for eCosentino” at Milan Design Week. This project was an artistic interpretation of the recycled surface ECO by Cosentino®, which toured the main European design fairs.
