The Cosentino Design Challenge has now reached its 12th year

Cosentino Group presents the 12th edition of the international Cosentino Design Challenge. With the support of 24 schools, universities and institutions of national and international prestige, this initiative is an unmissable annual event, and a great achievement for Cosentino in its social and educational commitment to the next generation of architects and designers. The Cosentino Design Challenge promotes and encourages creativity and talent among architecture and design students from all over the world. The facilities of the Cosentino City Madrid, located on the Paseo de la Castellana, hosted the competition launch event yesterday afternoon. Students, teachers, renowned professionals and journalists specialising in architecture and design were informed about the details of the 12th Cosentino Design Challenge. Composed of two categories, the Architecture brief asks students to reflect on "Cosentino and the dramatic arts", and the Design brief is centred on "Cosentino and light". In both categories, the participants have complete freedom in developing their final project, which must include a product manufactured by Cosentino: the Silestone® natural quartz surface, the Dekton® ultracompact surface and/or the Sensa® protected granite surface.
