Laurent Maugoust 02/22/2022 | Comment Case Study Sculptural furniture with sensual shapes made from Cosentino natural stone Laurent Maugoust and Cécile Chenais Location France Material Sensa / Scalea Colour Sensa Vancouver / Scalea Verde Guaco Name of the design Naïl coffee table / Mantis table Architecture / Design Laurent Maugoust and Cécile Chenais Application Tables Type of project Furniture design Thickness 20 mm, 30 mm Minimalist design tables The first pieces of furniture designed by Laurent Maugoust’s eponymous editor, in collaboration with his artistic director Cécile Chenais, are two sculptural tables with a lot of character and a graphic and dramatic design. Both were presented at the Silvera Saint-Germain showroom in Paris, with an exhibition that allows us to fully appreciate their textures and colours, among which Sensa and Scalea by Cosentino stand out. With their Mantis table and Naïl coffee table, the creative pair have established a dialogue between materials and shapes which revolves around the geometric character of the design and a spirit that is as demanding as it is refined. Naïl Coffee Table: Sensa Vancouver quartzite tops (1.10 x 0.80 m (x 2 tables) / Thickness: 2 cm) Table base in Scalea Verde Guaco natural stone. An ideal surface Sensa Vancouver quartzite and Scalea Verde Guaco marble were the natural stones chosen for the design of these two tables. “Sensa was a great discovery in terms of product, originality and technology. Choosing Vancouver to create this table with such a special, organic and sensual touch is a real success”, explains Cécile Chenais. Indeed, thanks to the Senguard NK protection, specially developed by Cosentino for the Sensa colour range, the material is exceptionally resistant to stains, aggressive and acidic substances and scratches, while at the same time being easy to maintain on a daily basis, making it an ideal surface. It is also NSF certified, which confirms it as a suitable surface for food contact, with no risk of staining or damage. In this way Sensa combines classic beauty with cutting edge technology, thus maintaining the natural colour of the stone. Do you need help with a project?

Hotel Mediterráneo 08/14/2020 | Cosentino Flagship Project Hotel Mediterráneo Park: an intimate showcase for Cosentino materials Location Almería, Spain Material Dekton | Silestone | Natural Stone Colour Danae | Blanco Zeus | Crema Marfil | Negro Marquina Quantity 5,000 m2 Application Façade | Bar Counters | Stairs | Flooring | Cladding | Bathrooms Client Proplaya End date 2019 Thickness 8, 12, 20 mm A design to match every surface In June 2018, the Mediterráneo Bay Hotel & Resort opened its doors after a full refurbishment to celebrate its 25th anniversary. This cornerstone of the Almería hotel industry is located in a peaceful area on the seafront in Roquetas de Mar. With 367 rooms, an enormous lagoon-shaped swimming pool, a second pool with water slides for the little ones, a children’s club, a fitness centre and much more, the Mediterráneo Bay Hotel & Resort is a four-star paradise perfect for a dream holiday. Cosentino became a trusted partner in this refurbishment process. Its presence can be felt throughout every inch of the common spaces and rooms in the hotel, with materials from its Dekton, Silestone and Natural Stone brands. The Cosentino family of materials stands out in every detail The hotel’s main façade, crafted in more than 340 m2 of texturised crema marfil-coloured marble, grabs the visitors’ attention to greet them upon arrival. A water fountain refreshes the traveller’s visual palate next to the façade, also crafted in marble, in a 2 cm texturised Sierra Elvira tone. The guest arrives at the hotel lobby with the assurance that everything to follow will be sophisticated and in good taste. The lobby’s flooring is made of ultra-compact Dekton surfacing in the Danae colour tone, used in the 157 x 140 x 0.8 cm and 320 x 140 x 0.8 cm formats to guarantee the perfect visual continuity in a spacious and bright environment. Durable and design-centred refurbishment The buffet bar was crafted in the Blanco Zeus Suede model of Silestone with a 2 cm thickness. The counters for the other two bars were built with Alaska and Ibiza white marble, respectively. In addition, the dining area leaves guests spellbound, as the entire floor shines with the spectacular effect of the polished Venato Carrara floor covering, in its 40 x 40 x 2 cm format. After the visual feast of the hotel’s common areas, guests arrive at their room to discover, to their delight, that it follows the same aesthetic theme. The room and bathroom are cladded with polished and bevelled Crema Marfil marble tiles, with the bathroom flooring honed in the same tone and the countertops fashioned in a gorgeous Carrara white marble in the 120 x 60 x 2 cm format. As a whole, the refurbishment of the Hotel Mediterráneo Park in Almería is a showcase of the design possibilities for the entire line of Cosentino surfaces. Do you need help with a project?

Spanish Court Jamaica 08/12/2020 | Cosentino Flagship Project Dekton complements Jamaica’s natural beauty Antrobus + Ramirez Location Jamaica Material Dekton | Natural Stone Colors Zenith | Edora | Blanco Macael | Caliza Alba Quantity 11.150 m2 Architecture / Design Antrobus + Ramirez Interior Design Developer Crissa Hotels End date 2019 Application Floor, bathroom walls and pool 120 rooms and almost 9,000 m2 of Dekton It has taken the Spanish Court Hotel just 10 years to establish itself as one of the most outstanding properties in the Caribbean, becoming one the top three accommodation options chosen by the public according to specialist travel websites. Among the qualities that make this hotel unique is the characteristic style of its décor, which combines natural elements from the Caribbean surroundings with cutting-edge, modern materials. This is the style that Christopher Issa, owner of the Spanish Court, wanted to maintain and enhance when renovating the hotel in 2019. “We wanted the hotel to complement the natural beauty of Jamaica,” explains Issa who, alongside his team, searched for the most suitable materials for the project. “The designer wanted a white floor and finding the right one was among our biggest challenges.” Cue Dekton by Cosentino and its wide variety of colours. Dekton Zenith, the all-encompassing white The renovation of the Spanish Court Hotel involved refurbishing the luxurious bedrooms and their spectacular bathrooms. The Antrobus + Ramirez studio opted to use 6,967 m2 of the Dekton Zenith colour for this task, as a way to let the light in Jamaica flood into every room. As the owner, Christopher Issa describes the result, “When you walk into the rooms refurbished with Dekton, they feel like a million-dollar suite.” The Cosentino team, headed by Astor Paz, General Manager at Cosentino Center Fort Lauderdale, provided important guidance when it came to choosing the materials: “We were able to provide help and advice with regard to the installation of the materials. In fact, we spent several days training the team of installers.” The result of this close collaboration is the 1,858 m2 of Dekton used in the hallways, in the Danae shade with the Grip+ anti-slip finish. Natural stone in the areas dedicated to relaxation and fun Among the Spanish Court Hotel’s main attractions are the spa areas, where guests can relax and the large pool, designed for fun as well as comfort. In these areas, the designers have sought to maintain a sense of coherence with the surroundings by using Natural Stone, in the Caliza Alba shade for the pool and White Macael for the spa.

It offers us exactly what we wanted to achieve for this hotel” Christopher Issa Owner Support during the project execution phase Christopher Issa highlighted how easy it was to work with Cosentino, which not only gave him the opportunity to understand the properties of the materials and to discover the wide range of colours, but also to visit the Cosentino production headquarters in Almería, Spain. The support we received, both in the choice of the most appropriate materials as well as the training prior to the installation, was one of the factors that made this project such a success, both in terms of design and execution.

Lagasca 99 08/12/2020 | Cosentino Flagship Project Lagasca 99: Natural stone makes a difference in Madrid City Centre Rafael de la Hoz Location Madrid, Spain Material Dekton | Silestone | Natural Stone Colors Keyla – Blanco Zeus – Travertino Quantity 180 large format slabs – 330 solid and fixed shafts Architecture / Design Rafael de la Hoz Developer San Martín Installator Ingepiedra Application Façade – Flooring – Wall Cladding – Stairs – Countertops An oasis of light in the heart of Madrid Lagasca 99 is an innovative residential building that is already capturing the attention of the residents of the Salamanca neighbourhood, one of the most distinguished areas in Madrid, known for its history and architecture. Located at the gates of what is known as Madrid’s Golden Mile, this property is a benchmark in style and design thanks to the work of Rafael de la Hoz, an architect known for the outstanding livability and sustainability of his projects. In what has turned into an exercise of imagination and pragmatism, Rafael de la Hoz and his team have managed to customise large spaces in which natural light is key, offering residents not only a comfortable environment, but also high energy efficiency thanks to the cutting-edge technology that is an intrinsic part of Lagasca 99. Two tonne natural stone fins There are numerous architectural elements that make Lagasca 99 a unique building. Without a doubt, the first thing that stands out is its futuristic façade: 330 colossal, solid pieces of natural stone – 273, 288 and 306.5 cm x 140 cm wide and 35 cm thick – whose individual weight is approximately 2,200 kg. Each of these vast pieces in the distinctive Travertino colour has been modelled to evoke the shape of a shark fin. The effect they produce from the outside is spectacular. This new benchmark of Madrid’s architecture incorporates other unique elements in its exterior design, such as bevelled corners or homes of different heights and spaces that play with the relief of the façade. Dekton and Silestone transform a residential unit into a home Rafael de la Hoz has focused on making the interior of the residence as attractive as the façade, while also complying with the strictest standards in sustainability and energy efficiency. The insulation, installation and materials used have been essential when creating a comfortable and sustainable environment in which Dekton and Silestone have played a vital role. For the main kitchens, the ultra-compact Dekton surface, has been used in the colour Keyla, an elegant and high-quality tone that is combined with the Silestone Blanco Zeus used for service kitchens. The communal areas, such as the stairs, are also designed using Travertino Natural Stone. Do you need help with a project? Contact our specialists for advice Do you need help with a project? Contact our specialists for advice Contact usContact us ``It is interesting to think that in order to build something that looks like it is from the 21st century within a historic neighbourhood of Madrid, we have to turn to classic stone`` Rafael de la Hoz Architect Macael Awards 2019 Lagasca 99 accommodates 44 homes with a floor area of 330 metres, which is distributed over nine floors and penthouses. The complex also includes 154 parking spaces, two commercial premises and premium facilities such as an English-style garden illuminated with natural light, a gym, a heated indoor pool, private meeting rooms, a private British club and a garden terrace with unbeatable views of the city. Lagasca 99 and Rafael de la Hoz won the “International Europe Award” for the design, functionality and use of a wide variety of Cosentino materials, at the well-known Macael Awards 2019, which recognise the most unique architectural works made using Dekton, Silestone or Natural Stone.
