The story behind the designs
Caesarstone continues to spearhead the market for innovative surfaces with the launch of captivating dark designs. Several years in the making, they drew 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.
