Cosentino Breaks the Mold Again with Éclos® — The Next-Gen Surface That’s Zero Silica, Ultra-Real, and Totally Revolutionary
The Spanish powerhouse behind Silestone®, Dekton®, and Sensa® has just dropped its newest innovation: Éclos®, a bold leap into what it calls “Inlayered Mineral Surfaces.” It’s the first of its kind — zero crystalline silica, high recycled content, and powered by an all-new layered design system known as Inlayr® Technology.
This isn’t just another countertop. It’s 28,000 hours of research, 1,500 hours of testing, and the work of over 50 specialists rolled into one seamless surface that fuses sustainability, design, and performance.
The Birth of a New Category
Launched globally from Madrid on October 3, 2025, Éclos® signals a new era for kitchens and bathrooms — the kind of innovation that forces the entire industry to catch up. Cosentino calls it a “turning point,” and for good reason.
“Since our founding, we have been committed to leading innovation rather than following trends. Just as we did with Silestone®, Dekton®, and most recently with Hybriq+® technology for Silestone®. Éclos® involves a new turning point for our industry, an evolution that responds to real market needs and anticipates the future,” says Pilar Cosentino, CEO of Cosentino Group.
If Silestone® changed the game in 1990 and Dekton® redefined it again in 2013, Éclos® feels like the next natural (and much-needed) revolution.
Inlayr® Technology: Layers That Breathe Life Into Design
At the heart of Éclos® lies Inlayr® — a cutting-edge design system that uses advanced robotics and intricate decoration techniques to create layered, three-dimensional surfaces.
This isn’t your typical flat, printed pattern. The designs run deep — through the veins, across the edges, into the texture. You can feel the natural flow beneath your fingertips. The 3D realism is so convincing, it challenges the very idea of what “manmade” means.
The result? A mineral surface that’s not just visually striking, but tactile, warm, and alive.
Built for the Future: Zero Silica, Up to 90% Recycled
Beyond the beauty, Éclos® brings a hard-hitting sustainability story. The brand’s debut collection — set to roll out globally in the coming months — contains zero crystalline silica, addressing a major concern in the fabrication and construction world.
Every Éclos® surface is made with at least 50% recycled materials, with some shades reaching an impressive 90%. This move aligns with Cosentino’s ongoing commitment to circular economy principles — and to the people working hands-on with these materials.
Performance-wise, Éclos® checks every box: superior flexibility, ductility, and impact resistance. Fabricators will appreciate how much easier it is to cut, handle, and install. And homeowners? They’ll love that it can withstand up to 220°C (428°F) — yes, you can set down that sizzling pan straight from the stove.
A Game Changer in a Shifting Industry
In an era marked by tariff tensions, environmental regulation, and growing health concerns around quartz, Cosentino isn’t just adapting — it’s leading. Éclos® is more than a product; it’s a manifesto for safer, smarter, and more sustainable surfaces.
The numbers speak for themselves. Analysts predict the global countertop market will hit $50 billion by 2028, growing 3% annually. That’s about 650 million square meters of surface — with 100 million expected to come from mineral and porcelanic materials. The US will hold the largest share, but the real acceleration? Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and developing markets.
And yes — Éclos® will be part of that wave. It’s set to debut in Asia, including Malaysia, in 2026.
The Bottom Line
Cosentino’s Éclos® isn’t a step forward — it’s a clean break from everything before. It’s sustainability without compromise, design without limitation, and innovation with a conscience.
The name itself — Éclos, French for “to bloom” — feels prophetic. Out of years of experimentation and an ever-evolving design landscape, a new generation of surfaces has bloomed.
