Haven (Sep 11): Singapore Design Week, Cosentino, Devialet, AN Digital Lock, Steve Leung, Fendi

Beautiful surfaces

Cosentino introduces C·Bath with The Bathelier collection, showcasing sustainable surfaces and custom fittings for its new bathroom platform. To kick off the collection, the Spanish surface specialist has partnered five design luminaries to reimagine the future bathroom using its key collections such as Silestone, Dekton and Sensa by Cosentino.

From Singapore, we have local architect Colin Seah, who devised two striking visions: The Collage and The Cave. The latter comes to life in a dramatic bathroom with a view articulated with three Dekton colours: Bromo, Laurent and Awake, Silestone Coral Clay and Sienna Ridge. The former balances contrasting colours to create a unique moment of holistic harmony with Dekton Soke and Laurent, Silestone Eternal Serena and Ethereal Noctis.

Seah is joined by a cohort of award-winning creatives comprising Dutch designer Remy Meijers, American interior designer Claudia Afshar, Argentinian architect Daniel Germani, and Spanish multidisciplinary studio MUT Design in presenting 10 concepts that take bathroom design to another level.
