Define your space with slimmer surfaces

With kitchen surfaces increasingly taking on the double duties of both a workstation and an informal dining area, design and durability are more important than ever before.

Increasingly slim surfaces have are a growing trend throughout the Australian surfaces market, and this big, or rather slim, trend is set to gain even further momentum throughout 2016.

Cosentino’s signature Silestone range and innovative Dekton ultra-compact surfaces come in a range of thicknesses to suit the specific needs of any designer. Offers ranges of thicknesses from 8mm, to 12mm, 20mm and 30mm, as well as even thicker profiles for bolder looks.

Contrasting this boldness, thinner profiles create a sleek, crisp feel and are easily suited to a variety of applications, both inside and out of the home – which their popularity no doubt owes much to. Likewise, the thin surfaces are more easily adaptable, making them ideal for creating modern designs including waterfall benchtops, bar counters, splashbacks and Dekton for external wall cladding.

Powerful presence, silent service: Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series

In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
