Cantoria (Almería), 17 September 2024.- Cosentino, global leader company in producing sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, places Silestone® once again at the avant-garde of sophistication and elegance in interior design with its new Le Chic Bohème by Silestone®XM collection. After revolutionizing the process of transforming recycled materials into something remarkably new with EARTHIC, the brand deepens its wager to the beauty of veined patterns, started last year with Le Chic collection, to evince once again the high aesthetics and sophistication of the leading hybrid mineral surface for the world of design.
The essence of Parisian sophistication and bohemian flair comes to life with Le Chic Bohème by Silestone®XM, a collection where elegance and freedom reign supreme. The four new colors: Jardin Emerald, Rivière Rose, Château Brown y Blanc Élysèe, awake the imagination with their unique shades, elegant veining, and nuanced patterns, marrying depth and sophistication. The collection features an exquisite range of colors and veined patterns that expand from soft and delicate hues to bold and dramatic accents, allowing designers and architects to create unique and distinctive spaces.
A kind of sophistication born from innovation and sustainability. Le Chic Bohème strengthens the advancement in Cosentino’s surface manufacturing, as the detailed veining requires an all-new system of design. The intricate, interlocking veins are made possible by the brand’s new molding system featuring integrated veined design across the entire surface and thickness, and enabling finishes on edges and recesses with full continuity, even in curved, die-cut or milled cuts. The real sustainability comes from Cosentino’s patented Hybriq+® technology. Le Chic Bohème is manufactured using 99% reused water and 100% renewable energy, and incorporating a minimum of 20% recycled raw materials in its composition, with less than 10% of crystalline silica belonging to the category introduced this year, Silestone®XM.
Jardin Emerald.- One of the best exponents of “Le Chic Bohème” essence. Thanks to a sophisticated pattern of golden veins with metallic accents and black and cream color notes, Jardin Emerald reinvents the natural beauty of the exclusive green marbles, creating a versatile finish with great graphic depth.
Rivière Rose.- A relentless sea of taupé and blush pink veins give personality to a warm white background. Rivière Rose pays homage to the whimsical patterns of ocean waves as they break on the coast of the French Riviera.
Château Brown.- A subtle marble look over an elegant dark brown background is filled with light through reflections of metallic pink-copper and bronze veining. A daring composition that connects with earthy tones and on-trend design.
Blanc Élysèe.- A delicate lattice of golden, gray, and copper veins along with graphic depth runs through a bright cream background that evokes the timeless elegance of classic Parisian palaces.
