About Caesarstone

ORIGINS
In 1987, Caesarstone pioneered the use of
quartz — one of nature’s hardest and most
abundant minerals. The company’s unique
mixture of ground quartz aggregates, pigments
and polymers proved to be the perfect
combination to produce surfaces that last a
lifetime. Since Caesarstone’s inception, the
concepts of sustainability, creativity, innovation,
performance and quality customer service
have been company benchmarks. Continuous
investment in technology, extensive research
and development, highly trained personnel
and an advanced market infrastructure place
Caesarstone at the forefront of design.

Color Development
To be an innovator in the surface industry is
to constantly push the boundaries of color.
Caesarstone’s product development and
design teams tap into the latest technology
and trends to create fresh hues, textures and
tones. The exploration of color is at the core
of Caesarstone's innovations. This continuous
effort is international in scope and produces
a spectrum of unique colors. While nature
is always a source of inspiration, moving
beyond the conventional spectrum gives rise
to expressive colors that enhance design in
new and profound ways.

Conceptualization is where any plan begins, but the application of
that plan is its true test. Experimentation and collaboration are the
foundation of the partnership between Caesarstone and its creative
collaborators. The full realization of a specific design can only be achieved
with the right tools. Caesarstone provides the freedom to create custom
spaces and unique applications that garner awards and international
acclaim — endorsing those who use the product as visionaries.

The acclaimed designers’ duo chose Caesarstone
Concetto surfaces for the yacht's lounge
area, which is designed with clean, elegant
lines and exhibits various elements from the
Concetto series. The resulting atmosphere is
uniquely intimate, resembling an enclave of
modern luxury. The structured panel features
a unique coat of Caesarstone's semi-precious
gem collection (Puro 8141), which in itself may
constitute piece of art.

It starts as a surface. The vision is to give
architects and designers the power to
transform the everyday into the extraordinary.
The relationship between the material and
the professional is synergistic: each pushes
the other to greater creative expression.
When addressing tough design challenges,
the results are always innovative, functional
applications that exemplify smart design.
Ultimately what architects and designers
do with the surface is what confirms
Caesarstone's position as a creator of
world-class material.
