Moss-covered stone and rich timbers bring the outside in

A message from our Corporate Plus Partner, Caesarstone.

Informed by biophilic design, this kitchen and dining space successfully blurs the distinction between the natural world outside and a contemporary, highly functional indoor space, thoughtfully curated from natural, ethically sourced materials.

Natural daylight floods the area, which is dominated by a 5600mm long island bench crafted in Caesarstone Porcelain™ Mosstone™ and a deep, walnut-brown timber cladding. Wall cabinetry echoes this theme, with the Mosstone™ Porcelain featuring on the rear workbench and splashback, while the timber appears on the full-height cabinetry, alongside handle-less door panels finished in light-reflective Wattyl Powder White.

The choice of these materials is a considered one – it’s a combination found in woods and forests across the planet.  In this case, rich timber sits naturally next to a porcelain surface that emulates a piece of beautifully weathered stone adorned with a mottled layer of mosses, in a combination of muted sage and deeper green.  Caesarstone Mosstone, in a stone finish, also carries the random patina of iodised impurities and subtle rust veins.

This kitchen demonstrates the power of a few carefully chosen materials to create a space that is not only durable and sustainable, but extremely comfortable and relaxing to inhabit.

Caesarstone Porcelain™ has a portfolio of 23 designs, 8 of which were introduced in 2024. Mosstone™ is just one of them – and features Caesarstone’s very latest In-Sync technology, producing seamless design continuity across the slab’s body, surface and edge.  This is a welcome addition to the qualities of Caesarstone Porcelain, as benchtop edges will take on similar hues to that of the surface.

Other inherent qualities of Porcelain are its resistance to heat, stains and UV rays plus its lifetime warranty.

Each slab of Caesarstone Porcelain™ is sustainably produced from natural raw ingredients, including clay, feldspar and oxides.  With a 12mm profile (with many designs available in a 20mm profile as well), and surface dimensions of 1600 x 3200mm, these larger slabs make the creation of sweeping expanses of joint-free surfaces a welcome reality. All Porcelain designs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
