Silestone Desert Silver

From the Eternal series: a cool white ground with a greyish cast, crossed by fine veins in a tone lighter still than the ground itself. Unlike a white marble whose veins are dark and pull the eye, here they lift — the result reads almost uniform from across the room, and only up close does the soft movement and sense of translucency appear.

This is the choice when you want a quiet white that competes with nothing — it sits as easily against timber as against white, black or brass. Supplied polished or in the Suede matte finish, in 1.2, 2 and 3 cm, on a 327 × 159 cm slab. The quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing, but like all engineered quartz it is not heat-proof.
