The new Pietra Kode by Dekton® collection re-imagines classic Italian stone in contemporary design
STAND-OUT SURFACES

Inspired by Italian architecture, Cosentino Group — the global leader in sustainable design surfaces for architecture and the home has introduced a new high-performance, ultra-compact stone collection called Dekton® Pietra Kode, the vision of renowned designer and architect Daniel Germani.

Reinterpreting the timeless beauty of three classic Italian stones — Vicenza, Travertine and Ceppo di Gré — Pietra Kode has decoded and then recoded their unique natural properties, enhancing them and the many possibilities for architecture and design within three new Dekton® concrete series.

The seven hues that make up Pietra Kode channel the influence of the three classic stones, with each colour breathing contemporary elegance into the design, along with rich shades and textures to choose from, to help you create a sensory experience beyond what the eye can see.

Distinctively earthy and somewhat antique, Pietra Kode offers a nod to Italian architecture over the centuries but in a way that is redefined for modern indulgence. With designs intended to evoke emotion and raw energy, they will surprise and intrigue you, for years to come.

“For this collection, I 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®,” shares Daniel. “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.”
