The Consentino Group, a global leader in producing and distributing innovative and sustainable surfaces for architecture and design, introduced a new high-performance, ultra-compact stone collection: Dekton Pietra Kode, the vision of renowned designer and architect, Daniel Germani.
Reimagining classic stones
Pietra Kode reinterprets the timeless beauty of three classic Italian stones: Vicenza, Travertine and Ceppo di Gré. These antique natural stones are decoded and recoded within three Dekton concrete series, enhancing their properties. Each colour breathes contemporary elegance into the design, with rich shades and textures creating a sensory experience.
The carbon-neutral Dekton surface allows the collection to be used for a virtually limitless range of indoor and outdoor applications.
A collection that won’t go out of style
Pietra Kode is the third collection developed by Dekton®,with designer and architect, Daniel Germani. While Germani’s previous Industrial and Chromica collections for the brand often had an industrial bent, the seven hues that make up Pietra Kode channel the influence of Vicenza, Travertine and the iconic Ceppo di Gré stone on Italian architecture over the centuries.
Germani said he spent a lot of time decoding each stone’s history in Italian architecture and reimagined them in a contemporary design, with all the benefits of Dekton.
Pietra Kode is a collection that showcases luxury in the small, understated details. It’s designed with the future in mind and complements any space in a way that won’t go out of style.
The Vicenza Kode Series
This series consists of four warm and versatile colours reinterpreting the code of classic Vicenza stone. With neutral tones reminiscent of the earth and a rich design that flows to the edges, all coexist in perfect harmony and complement cream, wood and taupe palettes.
- VK01 Nebbia is inspired by the texture of Grigio Alpi, with a fine-grained creamy white base dotted with warm taupe hues.
- VK02 Avorio features a light beige shade in an extremely natural finish, inspired by the eponymous Avorio stone, an Italian material characterised by the presence of fossil shells.
- VK03 Grigio boasts a grey colour scheme and warm nuances. Drawing its inspiration from Grigio Alpi, which was made popular by the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio in his villas and palaces in the Veneto region, it blends perfectly with creams, woods and taupe colours.
- VK04 Grafite combines a mix of black and grey interspersed with whitish and reddish cloud-like patches, channelling the texture of dark, fine-grained limestone.
The Travertine Kode Series
The Travertine Kode Series recodes the stone out of which Rome was built, into a new technological vision of the material that made classical art shine and inspired Renaissance architecture. Two elegant designs are full of nuances reminiscent of the quiet majesty of classic style:
- TK05 Sabbia reinterprets Italian Travertine, cut with a vein in its thread that flows through the pieces in a haphazard and colourful way, perfect for rustic or natural environments.
- TK06 Marmorio takes its cue from Travertino Navona, the quintessential Roman stone. Its porous striped structure gives an elegant, bright and lightweight look to any design.
The Ceppo Kode Series
The Ceppo Kode Series reinterprets the beauty of the Ceppo di Gré stone, often used in architecture in Milan, to design spaces that inspire and connect with nature. Like Vicenza Kode, Ceppo Kode features design along the edges, making it ideal for revealing applications. CK07 Ceppo: The distinctive blue-grey multiform structure of the Ceppo di Gré stone inspires this unique colour. The pebbled pattern, ideal for both indoors and outdoors, is a timeless design that makes it a perfect choice for a classic or modern look.
