Porcelain by Caesarstone: A New World of Design Opportunities

Caesarstone’s new Porcelain Collection is redefining kitchen countertops, with bold designs, rich colours, and exceptional textures alongside maximum resistance to scratches, cracks, and extreme heat.

For almost 40 years, Caesarstone has continued establishing itself as a world leader in kitchen countertops – the work surfaces that so often is the center of a vibrant family home. The company’s signature designs, landmark collaborations with international names, state-of-the-art production processes, and lasting durability have made Caesarstone quartz countertops a household name around the globe.

Now quartz is being joined by an exciting new material – porcelain – that is opening up an entirely new world of opportunities. Or, as Caesarstone’s Chief Designer puts it: “It’s like a theme park: thanks to our innovative use of this material, our customers can now opt for all the features they wanted but could never previously enjoy in the same product. Now there are no limits.”

The Porcelain Collection presents a remarkable new aesthetic that is redefining kitchen countertops, with richer colours, bolder designs, larger patterns, and wonderful tangible textures for both interior and exterior applications. This was made possible through an advanced slab production method that harnesses cutting-edge technology and stems directly from in-depth curation and research.

Work on the new collection involved a lengthy mapping phase, which started with a broad study of trends that encompassed not only kitchens, but also fashion, the home, colours, materials, and much more. Then the smaller details became the focus of attention: “Refining the arteries, working on the colours, and playing with the textures – a lot of work goes into every single detail until we achieve the perfect result.”

“We took the stone back to its roots – to a raw, warm, earthy place – in a range of colors, from delicate colors and pastels to warm, dramatic, and bold shades. Our goal was to emphasize the stone’s materiality rather than attempt to flatten it, as the feeling should be natural above all.

“Porcelain countertops celebrate the unique properties of the material, embodying the natural elements of marble and stone, as well as the industrial aspects of concrete and metal. We can refine the nuances of the finer details, which express the human touch evidence in any work surface. Porcelain can achieve almost any desired natural look, as found in one material or another.”

Beyond aesthetics, there is functionality. Porcelain offers a surface that supplies maximum protection against scratches, chips, and stress cracks.

Thanks to a high-temperature production process, Caesarstone’s porcelain countertops are resistant to extreme heat, as well as UV, sunlight, and extreme weather conditions, making them especially suitable for outdoor use. They are also stain resistant, easy to clean with just soap and water, and ensure almost effortless maintenance.

“After all, we’re talking about kitchens, not fast fashion. Even those of us seeking to present an ultra-cool image need to choose a kitchen for around the next 15 years, on average. That’s why it’s so important to select countertops that present the ideal combination of unique design and uncompromising durability.”
