Strata: A Dekton Sculptural Masterpiece by Eugene Kosgoron

Cosentino Singapore unveils Strata, an outdoor sculptural masterpiece featuring Dekton Pietra Kode, in collaboration with Singapore-based artist Eugene Kosgoron.

Strata: Connecting classicism with modernity 

Strata shines a new light towards tradition, featuring classic Vicenza stone designs from Cosentino’s beloved Dekton Pietra Kode and working these materials in an unconventional way, highlighting the exceptional versatility of Dekton. Pietra Kode interprets and reimagines the beauty and character of the stones that Rome was built upon. For Strata, Kosgoron chose Nebbia and Grafite, two reimagined stones that adorned the villas and palaces of architect Andrea Palladio in the Cinquecento.

Sharing the concept behind Strata, the Indonesia-born artist Kosgoron says, “Drawing inspiration from Dekton Pietra Kode, Strata is all about the return to the classics and origins.The layers in Strata are a reflection on how sedimentary rock formations are built layer upon layer in nature over centuries to create the beauty of the stone we see today. Deconstructing these layers into individual layers as we see it in Strata reminds me of growth and metamorphosis, telling its truth and rich tales surrounding its journey in time.”

Kosgoron, together with architectural designer collaborator Michael Yeow Zhi Wei, put together a series of apertures that allows viewers to look at both the dynamic exterior surface and the interior core where light will pass through during the night.

Just as Pietra Kode follows in Vitruvius’ footsteps, Strata reimagines the prolific architect’s principles of meeting modern needs while staying true to its origins with its harmonious blend of contemporary and natural. A true art form, Strata successfully challenges the notion of the use of Dekton surfaces beyond architectural applications.

An immersive experience delving into the creative process behind the structure, titled Behind Strata: A Dekton Outdoor Masterpiece also took place at Cosentino City Singapore.

Guests got a deeper look into the story behind Strata, from its ideation and creation, to its execution. With Eugene and Michael sharing their perspectives, Strata gained a new, deeper meaning in everyone.

Designing with soul

This collaboration is yet another testament to Cosentino’s commitment to engage and elevate local talents from different disciplines beyond architecture and design, focusing on cultivating creativity and innovation that weave in nature and sustainability. With its new corporate identity “designing with soul to inspire people’s lives”, Cosentino continues to strive to connect with the local design community, constantly providing platforms to challenge, create, collaborate and showcase.

“Cosentino couldn’t be prouder to team up with Eugene Kosgoron for Strata, an iconic art piece that is both breathtaking and tranquil. Strata has truly challenged how our surfaces can be brought to life beyond the interiors. We are extremely glad to be part of this project which saw various parties come together to celebrate art and create a masterpiece the public can enjoy,” says Patricia Lyon, Marketing Lead for Cosentino Southeast Asia.

For those who wish to check out the sculpture, Strata is now nestled amongst the lush greenery of PARKROYAL at Beach Road! It is an unmissable spectacle at any given time of day, so do check it out!
