New hybrid surfaces from Cosentino's Le Chic Bohème by Silestone®XM collection: technological and sustainable

Cosentino once again highlights the aesthetic qualities of the hybrid mineral surface, which is increasingly popular in the design world, by presenting the Le Chic Bohème by Silestone®XM collection, four new colors that explore the beauty of marble veining.

The four new colors, precious streaks and shaded patterns, ranging from soft and delicate tones to more intense nuances, characterize the new surfaces of the Le Chic collection, giving life to elegant, sophisticated and deep designs. A collection of glossy colors that highlight the aesthetic quality of Cosentino surfaces distinguished by high resistance to liquids, stains, knocks and scratches.

High-tech and sustainable surfaces

The evident veining of Le Chic Bohème surfaces is possible thanks to the new molding system developed by Cosentino; the production technology, based on a complex design of the pattern, makes it possible to obtain extremely realistic details and to trace the streaks even on the thickness of the slab, allowing the continuity of the finish on edges and recesses, even in curved, die-cut and milled cuts.

Not only that, the Le Chic Bohème Silestone XM collection is part of the path of sustainable evolution pursued by Cosentino: in fact, the slabs are produced with 100% renewable electricity and 99% recycled water, and the formulation incorporates at least 20% recycled materials resulting in a significant reduction in raw material extraction, limiting soil erosion and CO2 emissions. XM also guarantees a maximum crystalline silica content of 10%.

Four bright and refined colors

The four new surface colors in the Le Chic Bohème collection are: Jardin Emerald, Rivière Rose, Château Brown and Blanc Élysèe.

Jardin Emerald, reinvents the natural beauty of green marble with a sophisticated pattern of golden veining, metallic accents and hints of black and cream, creating a versatile finish with great graphic depth.

Variegated taupé gray and blush pink streaks lend personality to the warm white background of the Rivière Rose surface.
