The main entrance to Cosentino's stunning glass-and-marble-wrapped corporate headquarters in the Almeria region of southern Spain. John and I were invited as guests of Silestone to visit their factory and talk about trends, and we have so enjoyed our sojourn.
Gang:
John and I were lucky enough to have been invited by the fabulous Spanish natural stone surfaces company Cosentino to pay a visit as their guests to their sprawling factory and corporate campus in the arid climes of southern Spain.
And this past week has been a fabulous mix of meet and greets, tours, exploration of top-secret new products, and boozy dinners. John and I have had so much fun with our hosts Lorenzo Marquez of Cosentino and Jim Brodsky of Sharp Communications, not to mention our fellow travelers Kim Lewis and her husband, Brandon, and Mark Williams and his partner, Steve.
We are simply crazy for the Cosentino product line–including Silestone–and you should be, too! Here’s a peek into our adventures. Ole!
John gives off a very matinee idol attitude as he sets out to explore the region's dramatic marble quarries. Note the massive blocks of marble stacked in the background.
Here's our fellow trend spotter Kim Lewis, the production designer of Extreme Makeover Home Edition, striking a fetching pose in the region's famous marble quarries.
John road-tests one of Cosentino's stunning free-standing bathtubs. We want one!
John and I are crazy for the Cosentino range of products. Here, Silestone sinks in a rainbow array of hues. We were especially smitten with the bubble gum pink model.
