The Newest Trend in Modern Design

As one of the first to feature fluted tiles, the global surfacing leader continues to bring cutting-edge and sustainable solutions to the world of design. Consentino, the Spanish global leader in the production and distribution of innovative and sustainable surfaces, announces Dekton Ukiyo, a new textured collection that features linear fluting and offers livable luxury with the durability of Dekton. Created in collaboration with the internationally recognized high end interior designer Claudia Afshar, the collection is available in ready to install fluted tiles, one of the first of its kind in the industry. Its texture brings distinctive depth and dimension to any space, be it interior residential or commercial design.

Dekton Ukiyo is inspired by Japanese and contemporary design and celebrates the art of minimalism and embracing the present.  Ukiyo means to “live in the moment,” and the Dekton collection is designed to awaken the senses and evoke a feeling of wellness by achieving a beautiful, calm state in the space. It embodies a rich palette of emotions and sensations, showcasing geometric yet smooth structure that creates harmonious designs both inside and outside. We love using this in our modern residential and commercial projects.

“Playing with texture is timeless, and it is so important in all materials, not just fabric,” said Claudia Afshar.  “I have always been inspired by the materials found in nature and making the spaces I design as comfortable, warm and authentic as possible.” Ukiyo is calming yet simplistic, and the colorways and fluting are romantic, but also contemporary and masculine to achieve balance.

Especially designed for vertical cladding application, Dekton Ukiyo will be available in matte finish and two fluting size options. To launch the Ukiyo offering, Afshar hand-selected five existing Dekton colorways: Bromo, Kreta, Nacre, Umber and Rem to provide a comprehensive color palette to work independently and together.

“There is a current need in the market for surfaces that perform both indoor and outdoor to achieve a cohesive, luxurious look,” said Eduardo Cosentino, CEO of the Americas and Executive Vice President of Global Sales.  “With all the performance characteristics of Dekton and the beautiful fluting options readily available in large tiles, we are confident the collection will appeal not only to designers and homeowners, but architects, fabricators and developers as well.”

Dekton products are full life cycle carbon neutral and were selected for the collection due to their sustainable properties and high-performance capabilities. Dekton Ukiyo is ideal for a virtually limitless range of vertical applications ranging from facades and fireplaces to custom furniture and so much more.
