Capturing The Intangible – Silestone Ethereal
Picture this: the fresh stillness of the morning sky; the calming greyscale of the wind pushing clouds along the horizon; and the golden streaks of sunset painting the skyline into a dark azure as it descends into night. It is these incredibly evocative images that define the visual wonder of Silestone® Ethereal.
Boasting four expressive colourways, the marble-inspired series fuses an intricate network of fine veining with a sleek, white foundation. Each colour represents a distinct take on the visual dialogue between these contrasting elements, providing a selection of versatile designs for any architectural context.
Ethereal Dusk is a modern and decidedly urban colour. The blue tint of the cooler veins creates a visual outcome akin to the still morning sky, right before the golden hues of rising sun flood the horizon.
While Ethereal Dusk reflects the subdued appeal of these last moments of darkness, Ethereal Haze explores the many shades of grey that delicately underpin its neutral appeal. The rich range of grey tones cutting through the bright backdrop evokes the robust dynamism of stratus clouds blown over a mountain range, offering a fitting combination of character and serenity.
The sophisticated Ethereal Noctis pushes the greyscale further with short and decisive veins across the tinged, white foundation, generating a striking look anchored in depth and simplicity. With inspiration behind this colourway deriving from the first moments of darkness after the sun sets, Ethereal Noctis has an alluring presence that seems to escape the realms of reality.
In contrast, Ethereal Glow brings in the warmer, golden tones that run through the entire design, generating accents of colour throughout - much like an mesmerising glow of a sunset which inspired this colourway. Created as an evolution of the globally acclaimed Silestone® Eternal Calacatta Gold colour, the classic Ethereal Glow is bound to take the iconic design to new heights.
In what is undoubtedly an industry-defining move, the range also introduces Cosentino’s new HybriQ+® technology. The first of its kind in its category, this technology rewrites the production and composition of Silestone®, making it the first hybrid surface in the global market with low silica content. This is achieved through the incorporation of a new hybrid formulation of mineral raw materials alongside elements of a recycled origin.
This new and innovative composition not only improves the depth and translucency of the material, further enhancing the design profile of the series as result, it also increases the sustainability credentials of the product and manufacturing process itself.
By pushing the boundaries of visual expression, technological advancement and environmental commitments, Cosentino reaffirms Silestone®’s profile as the world’s leading hybrid mineral surface for every kind of interior.
Silestone® Ethereal by Cosentino blends beauty, innovation and sustainability in a visually arresting collection inspired by the fleeting splendour of the changing sky.
