Alfredo Häberli chooses Dekton® by Cosentino

Alfredo Häberli chooses Dekton® by Cosentino for his “Kitchen for the near future“, a design project which offers a glimpse of kitchen life in the future, and includes countertops developed with the ultra-compact surface.

Filled with life and appealing to the senses, the “Kitchen for the near future” was on display from 14 to 20 January 2019 at LivingKitchen in Cologne (Germany).

Striking clarity and strong lines are the defining features of Alfredo Häberli’s vision of tomorrow’s kitchen. The internationally renowned designer takes the history of the kitchen, abstracting the idea from its form, and offers visitors a projection of architectural possibilities. In this future, everything seems possible: there’s space for technological innovations, contemporary product design and materials, such as Dekton® by Cosentino, that speak to the senses, but also scope for social interaction and room for individual needs – this is the context in which the kitchen of the future takes on its shape.

The innovative ultra-compact surface Dekton® by Cosentino chosen by Häberli for the countertops of his kitchen, offer superior technical properties such as high resistance to scratches, stains and thermal shock. Together with its beautiful design, Dekton®  guarantees unique technical and aesthetic performance for the futuristic kitchen work-area. According to Häberli “advanced material technologies will give the glossy and matt surfaces of the kitchen a new almost immaterial look”, and “the reduction to the absolutely necessary appliances and utensils will benefit the generosity of the work surface”.

Born in Argentina and raised in Switzerland, Häberli sees the kitchen as the room that reflects civilization’s evolution most clearly. It is a place of existential and deeply rooted needs – preparing and consuming food, fire and company. These functions will continue to be crucial, but they will have to adapt to modern life.
