Kitchen design for 2024 is set to deliver an exceptional experience that celebrates sobriety with a range of colours and textures inspired by nature (we talked about it here). Now that the kitchen has become the focal point of the home, aesthetics is all about ergonomic spaces with clean lines, designed with comfort and conviviality in mind.
The unique beauty and authenticity of the stone effect makes it a timeless favourite.
The use of natural materials such as stone-effect ceramics makes it possible to combine the textures of natural materials with sustainable design. Let’s find out how.
Featuring veining and shading for an original visual effect, stone adds a distinctive character to kitchens that reflects the geological history of the material.
Natural stone provides a unique tactile experience, adding a touch of prestige and sophistication to spaces.
Nevertheless, natural stone quarrying and processing can have a significant environmental impact that varies according to how it is produced.
Surfaces also need to be more carefully cared for and maintained. They are sensitive to acids and aggressive chemicals, and often require regular sealing to maintain their integrity.
Stone-effect porcelain stoneware is a solution that combines aesthetics and performance with a focus on environmental responsibility.
A vast selection of designs and finishes is available, which accurately replicate the appearance of natural stone. It is also well known for its resistance to weathering, stains and scratches.
Ceramics are the ideal choice for busy environments such as kitchens, since they are more durable and require less maintenance than natural materials.
The production of porcelain stoneware has less of an impact on the environment than quarrying natural stone. Its production does not involve the exploitation and use of natural resources, making it a more sustainable option.
SapienStone stone-effect porcelain stoneware kitchen worktops reflect contemporary lifestyle trends, and are available in beige, light grey and black.
SapienStone stone-effect kitchen worktops are designed to combine the authenticity of natural stone with the practicality and sustainability of porcelain stoneware, creating the perfect blend of elegance and technology in a 12 mm thickness.
A selection of colours with different finishes allows for unique customisations for spaces:
One of SapienStone’s latest creations, inspired by the renowned Vals Stone, it has a blue-grey hue with darker streaks and white veining, and a pleasant tactile sensation due to its structured finish.
This new textured surface has a beige hue with a precious minimal texture and a structured finish in order to recreate one of the finest types of limestone.
Inspired by volcanic rocks, this delicate hue creates a spacious and serene atmosphere in the kitchen. Also available in 20 mm thickness.
It is ideal for elegant and cosy spaces with a sophisticated and distinctive look.
With a slightly structured surface, this blend of chocolate browns gives the room a unique character.
A mixture of brown and grey sand shades on a concrete base, suitable for any environment, with a slightly structured surface.
Suitable for comfortable and relaxing spaces, with an elegant retro feel.
A neutral, linear design that is perfect for clean, geometric spaces.
Both classic and contemporary, it is sober without ever being banal.
Created by mixing the hues of brown clays with a cement texture, it has a slightly structured surface.
Whether you choose a single stone-effect material or a harmonious combination of different looks, you can create convivial spaces to be shared while paying attention to environmental protection.
Grey hues with dark streaks perfectly complement the wood effect or metal effect. This combination creates a balanced contrast, enhancing spaces with linear and geometric elegance.
Pairing it with the concrete effect adds an urban and minimalist touch, striking a charming balance between natural and industrial elements. These two textures can be combined in a variety of ways: for example, a stone-effect porcelain stoneware kitchen worktop can be paired with concrete-effect porcelain stoneware floors or walls.
Using the stone effect in a monochrome kitchen makes the room seem more spacious, thus breaking up the monotony of using the same colour and giving spaces a distinctive character.
If the kitchen is dominated by a single colour, such as white, black or grey, the addition of a stone-effect porcelain stoneware worktop can create an interesting focal point, adding both visual and tactile elements.
SapienStone is a brand that specialises in porcelain stoneware kitchen worktops with different textured effects that accurately recreate the look of stone, wood, marble, concrete and granite.
The SapienStone offering combines sophisticated design with environmental sustainability, promoting a fresh approach to interior design, also by using granite 4D ceramics.
