VIDEO: Silestone Slab Vases/ Form Us With Love for Cosentino Group
Cosentino Group, world leader in the production and distribution of quartz surfaces and natural stone, has collaborated with Swedish design studio Form Us With Love. The result of this partnership is a stunning conceptual piece of work entitled Slab Vases, consisting of silestone rings slipped over a metal bracket of around 40cm high to produce a watertight vessel. The rings vary in size and are cut so the shape of the vase changes with each assembly. The project aims to break away from the familiar Silestone slab form and to explore the material’s tactile dimension.
Jonas Pettersson of Form Us With Love comments on Silestone, “It’s manmade but from natural materials, and that’s what fascinated us. They actually take something that nature has done, add about five per cent of binder, resin and colour, and make it better. That’s what appealed to us as industrial designers.”
