100% Design – Best in Show

By

Every September, the UK’s largest design trade event comes to London with the very latest innovations in interiors, eco design and build, office, bathrooms and, of course, kitchens. This year there was plenty to inspire with worktops, appliances and cabinetry to give your kitchen wow factor and feel appeal…

Caesarstone’s new Supernatural range:

For a quartz worktop that has the look and feel of marble, check out the new Piatra Grey colourway from the Supernatural collection, which was shown for the very first time in the UK. It has all the tactility and subtlety of marble but, unlike marble, is entirely non-porous.

It’s also scratch and stain resistant and doesn’t need polishing or sealing. Made from 93% natural materials and guaranteed for 15 years, it comes in 20mm and 30mm thicknesses and additional colours – Dreamy Marfil, Emperadoro, Frosty Carrina and London Grey.

Dekton is a new brand by Cosentino, which was launched at 100% Design, and provides the perfect architectural solution for interiors and exteriors. The ultra-compact surface is a mix of inorganic raw materials that are used to manufacture glass, porcelain and quartz surfaces.

It’s ideal for designers, architects, house builders and developers, as it can be used indoors and out thanks to its resistance to UV rays and large formats, making it quick and easy to install.

British design studio Mette transformed the central 252sq m area of the Kitchen & Bathroom hall into a kitchen/hospitality environment called Farm Kitchen. A conceptual installation that fused the science of micro-agriculture with kitchen and interior design, the Farm Kitchen explored its application into a design-led field, its day-to-day potential in urban interiors and diverse planting for cooking and well-being.

There was a vertical vegetable patch, an infusion wall where felt pockets were filled with medicinal herbs, a self-sustaining window sill planter box and LED lamps for growing vegetables, herbs and flowers.
