An unpolished, nontraditional color spectrum and aesthetic is changing the way we think about premium quartz surfaces. When Caesarstone introduced the Metropolitan Collection in May, it broke through barriers, effectively reflecting the authentic textures of oxidized steel, poured plaster, and raw concrete—an industrial-chic style that is a prevalent movement in the design world today.
“The Metropolitan Collection is a breakthrough in quartz surfacing," said Nick Harris, Vice President of Marketing for Caesarstone US. “Our product developers were inspired by the unique effects of industrial manufacturing, resulting in new designs that capture depth and movement and bring to life a sophisticated urban aesthetic with the functional benefits of Caesarstone quartz.”
The Metropolitan Collection employs a cutting-edge process to create weathered patinas in quartz for the very first time—satisfying today’s demand for a more industrial aesthetic. A sense of depth and movement is captured in the collection’s color scheme. Here begins the story of an innovative and inspiring color palette that is changing the face of design today.
Color Story: Multilayered Tones
For the design of this industrial-inspired kitchen, the color pattern of this large functional island brings depth and dimension to the space. Rich shades of buttermilk overlayed on a cream-toned base create a multilayered effect with undertones that echo the popular pastel trend in interiors today.
Color Story: A Palette of Rich Browns
Deep hues of auburn, chestnut, and copper expertly swept across an unpolished canvas lead to the excavated look and feel of this countertop that can work beautifully in almost any room, especially the kitchen. Its bold visual notes of rust and concrete were achieved for the first time in a quartz material, creating a complement for industrial-inspired spaces.
Color Story: Neutrals Infused with Bold Hues
For this modern kitchen, the island’s facade is a classic neutral-colored white but is injected with glimmers of black basalt and translucent grey quartz. The complementary light cabinetry is set off with dark hardware for a contemporary, chic vibe for this pointedly modern kitchen.
Color Story: Swirling Clouds of Grey and White
With an underlying calm grey tone accentuated by whirling clouds of white and dark grey, this bath makes a statement. The colors capture the essence of the connectivity between water and air, pulling the gravity of waves to the surface. This airy texture lightens and brightens any space and gives it a sense of movement that is a signature of contemporary design.
Color Story: A Cloud-like Patina
A concrete-like look is achieved on this countertop by a sophisticated melding of swells of pure white over a creamy-white base. The texture that results is one with a low-reflective surface, which can lighten up a space while evoking a refined, urban style. It is a romantic interpretation of the rustic, urban interior trend, which gives it a versatility not usually found in industrial aesthetics.
