Silestone Ethereal Collection
September 20, 2021
Silestone by Cosentino launches its second series following its recent rebranding — Ethereal.
The collection’s four colorways offer an artistic interpretation of the fleeting, heavenly patterns cast in the sky, with fine lines in deep hues against a white canvas capturing the interplay of color and light seen from dawn to nightfall.
The Ethereal Collection celebrates nature through both its aesthetic and sustainable manufacturing practices. It showcases the metamorphosis of the Silestone brand and its future, while embodying the brand’s strategic response as an industry leader to the global design world’s demands for more sustainable products, all without compromising on design or performance.
The colors provide a myriad of design options with high-performance capabilities, including stain, acid, shock and scratch resistance. Perfect for applications ranging from backsplashes and countertops to wall cladding, the collection provides architects, designers and builders with an elegant offering to elevate a space.
Ethereal Dusk showcases an urban look in which the bluish tone of its veining brings a modern and avant-garde touch to the space. It symbolizes an unforgettable and personal sunrise in which peace, solemnity and tranquility are seen on the horizon in the last moments of darkness.
Ethereal Haze includes a dynamic range of gray tones to emit plenty of personality. This design conveys both calm and character thanks to an interplay of gradients that blend into pure neutrality. Ethereal Haze takes us to an imaginary world where the wind moves the clouds over the mountains, creating an optical illusion of tranquility and fluffiness.
Ethereal Glow is simply pure, classic elegance. As an evolution of the internationally acclaimed Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold, its golden and gray veining merges with a tinged white foundation, running through the entire design and bringing color to every corner. It is inspired by the sunset and its igneous colors and glow, a vision from which you cannot look away.
Ethereal Noctis is synonymous with sophistication. The tinged white foundation is broken up with short gray and black veins, providing contrast, depth, simplicity and modernity. It is inspired by the darkness after sunset, making us feel life with a strange halo of unreality.
The Ethereal Collection also takes center stage in “The Metamorphosis,” Silestone’s third campaign with entrepreneur and international fashion icon Cindy Crawford. Just like its name suggests, “The Metamorphosis” serves as an allegory of Silestone’s own transition and recent rebranding, celebrating its work to pioneer the development of its revolutionary HybriQ+ technology, created for the betterment of the planet.
The newly launched HybriQ+® technology is poised to transform the quartz surfaces and engineered stone industry and introduces a new production process and composition for Silestone, achieving new levels of sustainability for both the product and manufacturing method. The new hybrid blend of materials combines minerals and recycled materials and is now manufactured using 99% recycled water, 100% renewable electric energy and a minimum of 20% recycled raw materials in its composition, while significantly reducing the presence of crystalline silica. The new manufacturing process also has zero water discharge, ensuring that local water sources are not polluted by chemicals.
Silestone with HybriQ+ technology benefits from the same mechanical and technical performance as before but with a sustainable focus and new design possibilities. In fact, the new Silestone formulation has enhanced its timeless beauty, including improved depth and translucency.
