Dekton Ukiyo wins prestigious awards from Good Housekeeping and The Architect’s Newspaper

Good Housekeeping's Home Renovation Awards

Cosentino is honored to announce that Dekton Ukiyo has been chosen as a winner of Good Housekeeping’s 2025 Home Renovation Awards following months of rigorous evaluation - including expert lab testing, in-home consumer reviews, safety and performance data analysis by engineers, and installations by professional builders. The Good Housekeeping on-staff product experts get hands-on with every submission and call on GH’s design mavens, led by Home Design Director Monique Veleris, for their take on the design-forward submissions. They also bring in outside judges with decades of experience such as home builder and developer Fernando Pagés Ruiz and contractor and real estate developer Marc Savatzky. 

Good Housekeeping’s experts first encountered Dekton Ukiyo at KBIS 2023, the premier trade show in the kitchen and bath industry, where architects and designers alike were taken with the Japanese-inspired surface with a unique fluted design. Developed in collaboration with interior designer Claudia Afshar, Ukiyo comes in ready-to-install tiles intended for vertical use throughout the home. 

After being submitted to rigorous lab testing, experts found Ukiyo demonstrated exceptional heat and stain resistance. As for aesthetics, the design team gushed over the material. “Gorgeous, obsessed, love the look and feel of these surfaces sooo much,” raved the associate lifestyle director, “the fluted design is trendy yet versatile. The Umber color is bold but so beautiful. Bathrooms, kitchen, living spaces — these surfaces can truly elevate any space.”

The Architect's Newspaper Best of Product Awards

Dekton Ukiyo also took home the award in the “Finishes + Surfaces: Interior Surfaces” category at the 20th edition of The Architect’s Newspaper Best of Product Awards. Sustainability was a uniting theme among winners, impressing the jury by moving the goalpost to create scalable, circular systems or impressive ways to reduce energy and carbon. 

Ukiyo, as well as the entire Dekton portfolio, is cradle-to-grave carbon neutral, offsetting carbon emissions throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Cosentino is laser-focused on creating innovative, sustainable, and design-forward solutions across its portfolio and is proud to see Dekton Ukiyo recognized by a renowned publication and top industry experts.
