10 Contemporary Spaces Using Dekton Ukiyo
Infusing Culture and Contemporary Design
At the heart of Dekton Ukiyo lies a seamless fusion of Japanese inspiration and contemporary design. Translating to "live in the moment" in Japanese, Ukiyo epitomizes a design philosophy aimed at creating spaces that go beyond the visual, tapping into the very essence of wellness. This collection will awaken the senses and foster a serene ambiance within homes.
“Playing with texture is timeless, and it is so important in all materials, not just fabric,” said luxury interior designer Claudia Afshar. “I have always been inspired by the materials found in nature and making the spaces I design as comfortable, warm and authentic as possible. Ukiyo is calming yet simplistic, and the colorways and fluting are romantic, but also contemporary and masculine to achieve balance.”
Sustainable and Elegant
The Ukiyo collection is not just a visual delight; it's also a commitment to sustainability. Did you know that all Dekton products, including Ukiyo, are full life cycle carbon neutral? This eco-conscious approach positions Ukiyo as an environmentally responsible choice for homeowners and designers seeking both style and sustainability.
Inspired by Nature, Crafted for Versatility
Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of natural materials and textures, Claudia Afshar crafted Ukiyo to be a timeless surface, imbuing spaces with depth and dimension.
The collection's versatility shines through with fluting available in two thicknesses and a matte finish. It’s also offered in five Dekton colorways (Bromo, Kreta, Nacre, Umber, Rem). These harmonious hues open up endless possibilities, allowing homeowners and designers to curate spaces that resonate with their unique vision.
“There is a current need for surfaces that perform both indoor and outdoor to achieve a cohesive, luxurious look,” said Patty Dominguez, VP Business Development and Institutional Relations at Cosentino. “With Ukiyo’s beautiful fluting options readily available in a full slab, multi-functional finishes and the durability of Dekton®, we are confident the collection will appeal not only to designers but homeowners as well.”
Elevating Home Aesthetics
Ukiyo is not just a surface; it's a narrative woven with threads of culture, sustainability, and thoughtful design. Whether adorning kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, or accent walls, Ukiyo transforms spaces into havens of tranquility. The fluted tiles, the first of its kind in the industry, add a tactile dimension, inviting touch and engagement with the surfaces.
This collection is set to leave an indelible mark. With its homage to Japanese aesthetics, commitment to sustainability, and versatile design options, Ukiyo transcends the realm of surfaces, becoming a canvas for homeowners and designers to paint moments of serenity and sophistication.
