“We only choose materials that perform well, such as Silestone. Especially in main areas that experience high-traffic and daily use, such as the kitchen.”
Interior Designer Laura Umansky founded Laura U Design Collective 15 years ago, combining her passion for interiors with her business acumen, which her father passed down to her. Her team now consists of 20+ interdisciplinary professionals that offer comprehensive end-to-end services, which Laura perfectly refers to as ‘foundation to furnishing’.
A mom of twins and an avid traveler, Laura is all about functionality, simplicity, and high-performance materials. She recently built her dream family home nestled in the mountains of Aspen’s Snowmass Village, in which she used Silestone and Dekton in different applications.

Cosentino was a proud partner, providing surfacing solutions for the first show house experience hosted in this prime Colorado location. “Cosentino creates the world’s most beautiful surfaces,” Laura shared, “I cannot say enough good things about them.”
Evolving style and taste
There are certain elements that come with me from house to house - art, accessories, plants - that reflect who I am.
Performance at the forefront
The key is being client-centric
Surfaces make or break a design
On a personal note, my kids are always running around with colored pens and my husband loves to cook - I want worry-free and beautiful materials such as Silestone.
