The Life Outside Issue

In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

Carbon-neutral surfaces that offer a unique blend of visual, textural and practical design

Certified carbon neutral from cradle to grave, two new Dekton® collections, Onirika and Kraftizen, combine unmatched technology with unique beauty to create surfaces perfect for immersive living.


Immersive spaces are those that engage the senses and completely envelop a person to make them feel a part of their environment. Cosentino’s two new Dekton® collections, Onirika and Kraftizen, help make such spaces possible with their stunning selection of textures, patterns and colours, all in the sustainable Dekton® ultracompact stone material that sits in a category of its own.

Dekton® Onirika: Bold, elegant and timeless

Onirika showcases eight daring colours—Awake, Lucid, Somnia, Neural, Trance, Vigil, Daze and Morpheus—each lavish and captivating, bringing a sense of luxury and peace to any space. “We are not attempting to mimic any existing natural stone. With Dekton technology, we are able to create our own colours and structures, bringing to life something that is unique, beautiful and irreplaceable,” explains the Houston-based designer, Nina Magon.

The collection represents a journey between dreams in reality. From Neural’s pale veins and Lucid’s glints of colour to Somnia’s captivating details of warm oxide browns and whites that merge under a grid of thick lines and Vigil’s gradients of light and dark greys and hints of gold. Onirika seeks to expand the poetic and unique beauty of natural stone to create experiences that are entirely new.

Dekton® Kraftizen: Rooted in minimalism and versatility

With the Kraftizen collection, Dekton® pays tribute to the master craftsmen and the techniques they perfected over the centuries. It boasts a series of five versatile, beautiful colours with rich, deep textures—Umber, Nacre, Argentium, Micron and Albarium—that recall the aesthetics of Venetian stucco.

Using the most advanced digital craft technology, the Dekton® Kraftizen collection reinvents centuries-old craftsmanship. Each trowel stroke from yesteryear is recreated on canvases made of millions of pixels, resulting in durable surfaces that delight the five senses through textures and volumes, and silky and extra matte colours that will clad floors, walls, tables and countertops.


The rich, troweled-plaster texture is seen in each colourway. The pale golden beige of Nacre is highlighted by its silky finish, whereas the elegant charcoal Micron offers depth and character. Albarium’s soft white hue is reminiscent of marble dust while Umber displays the unmistakable red tones of terracotta and Argentium’s silver-grey tone is typical of lime plastering.
