Eclos® & Inlayr®: The Artistic Stone of 2025

The design world is witnessing a remarkable transformation in surface materials, and at the forefront of this revolution is Cosentino's Éclos® collection featuring revolutionary Inlayr® technology. This isn't just another surface material—it's a sophisticated fusion of artistry, sustainability, and cutting-edge innovation that's redefining what's possible in luxury interior design.

Éclos represents where sustainability meets luxury craftsmanship, offering designers and homeowners a material that delivers both visual impact and environmental responsibility. With zero crystalline silica content, high recycled material composition, and distinctive artistic patterns, Éclos is setting new standards for what premium surfaces can achieve.

Revolutionary Inlayr® Technology

At the heart of Éclos lies Inlayr® technology—a groundbreaking manufacturing process that creates distinctive layered mineral compositions. Unlike traditional surface materials that aim for uniformity, Inlayr® embraces natural variation, producing surfaces with depth, character, and artistic expression that's unique to each slab.

This innovative approach allows for:

• Organic mineral stratification that mimics geological formations
• Subtle color transitions that add visual depth and complexity
• Tactile surface variations that engage multiple senses
• Artistic uniqueness where no two slabs are exactly alike

For designers seeking to create spaces with authentic character and sophisticated visual interest, Inlayr® technology delivers unparalleled creative possibilities.

Zero-Silica Innovation Meets Sustainability

In 2025, health-conscious and environmentally responsible design is no longer optional—it's essential. Éclos leads this movement with a commitment to sustainability that doesn't compromise on luxury or performance:

The elimination of crystalline silica represents a major advancement in worker safety during fabrication and installation, while the high percentage of recycled content demonstrates that luxury materials can be both beautiful and environmentally conscious. This is sustainable design that looks and performs at the highest level.

Design Applications: Creating Statement Spaces

Éclos excels in applications where visual impact and artistic expression are paramount. The material's layered patterns and subtle color variations make it ideal for creating focal points that define a space:

Kitchen Islands

Transform your kitchen island from functional workspace to sculptural centerpiece. Éclos's distinctive patterns create visual movement and depth, while its durability handles the demands of daily cooking and entertaining. The waterfall edge detail showcases the material's layered composition beautifully.

Statement Vanities

In bathroom design, Éclos elevates the vanity to art installation status. The material's organic patterns bring warmth and personality to spaces that often feel sterile, while its non-porous surface ensures easy maintenance in moisture-rich environments.

Feature Walls

Large-format Éclos slabs create dramatic feature walls that serve as living artwork. Whether in residential or commercial settings, these installations command attention while adding textural richness and sophisticated color palettes. The material's consistent performance across vertical applications ensures both beauty and functionality.

Fireplace Surrounds

The heat-resistant properties of Éclos make it perfect for fireplace applications where its layered patterns create visual warmth that complements the physical warmth of the fire. The material's durability ensures it will maintain its beauty for decades.

The Éclos Color Palette: Earthy Sophistication

The Éclos collection features a carefully curated palette of soft earth tones that reflect current design trends while maintaining timeless appeal:

• Warm neutrals — creams, beiges, and soft taupes
• Subtle grays — from pale dove to deeper charcoal
• Organic browns — from sand to rich terra cotta
• Mineral-inspired hues — hints of sage, clay, and stone

These colors work harmoniously with the matte and textured finishes that dominate contemporary design, creating spaces that feel both grounded and elevated. The subtle variations within each slab add depth without overwhelming, making Éclos exceptionally versatile for various design styles from modern coastal to warm minimalism.

Performance That Matches Its Beauty

While Éclos's artistic qualities capture attention, its practical performance ensures long-term satisfaction:

This combination of aesthetic innovation and practical performance makes Éclos ideal for clients who demand both beauty and functionality—surfaces that enhance their daily lives while maintaining their appearance over time.
