The story behind the designs
Caesarstone continues to spearhead the market for innovative surfaces with the launch of four dark, sultry shades. Several years in the making, they draw inspiration from the desert and the great outdoors, where Caesarstone’s in-house design team ventured to help shape the look and feel of the new products. Inspired by the organic materials found on their travels, the team experimented with how different stones hold colours at night.
The following video shows the in-depth process and inspirations behind these new products.

A Story of Design: Crafting Exceptional Surfaces
Our commitment to design is focused on the kitchen – the heart of the home is where we come together in our desire to gather and eat, socialise and connect. And as we enjoy these kitchen experiences, we can do so in
the confidence that every Caesarstone surface is checked, verified, tested and certificated.

Spotlight on Black Tempal
Trends in interiors have set a darker tone layered with emotion. Black and dark materials have recently been introduced to the most stylish urban kitchens and bathrooms in the form of stones like slate and travertine – tactile materials that possess an almost industrial presence. Embrace this transition to earthy materials in your design with our new innovative surface, 5810 Black Tempal.

Spotlight on Empira Black
A shift towards incorporating dark materials has influenced contemporary design and decorating in the most stylish settings. Black marble has the power to express opulence and drama. With all the mystery of dark stone, 5101 Empira Black has an enigmatic base composed of rich, deep black, beautified by fine white natural veins.
