Cosentino

Cosentino Group is a global family-owned company that produces and distributes high value innovative surfaces for architecture and design.

A leading material innovation company, Cosentino imagines and anticipates inspiring design solutions, together with its customers and partners. This goal is made possible by pioneering brands that are leaders in their respective segments such as technologically advanced surfaces Silestone® and Dekton® which allow the creation of unique designs for the home and public spaces.

At Downtown Design 2025, Cosentino partners with Etereo to create '1930', a contemporary lounge experience, inspired by the charm of Art Deco speakeasies. Drawing from the geometric harmony of Piero Portaluppi, the sculptural sensibility of Carlo Scarpa, and the bold architectural gestures of Ettore Sottsass, '1930' celebrates a return to elegance through a sophisticated balance of geometry, materiality and historical inspiration.
 
The space includes a sculptural bar, piano lounge, game table, and salon, evoking the ambience of a time gone by. A hidden bathroom, partially visible through a small porthole, adds a cinematic sense of mystery. Cosentino’s materials, reimagined by Etereo through ornamental flooring, vertical applications, and bespoke furniture, will shape the experience by adding colour, texture, rhythm and emotional weight to the storytelling.


An annual platform for the local creative community, the UAE Designer Exhibition showcases emerging creative talent and budding designers in a curated feature situated within the Downtown Design fair, with the aim of enhancing visibility for early-career UAE designers, expanding their networks and providing commercial opportunity.

Supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, the UAE Designer Exhibition presents a showcase of independent designers and studios who design with purpose, innovate beyond tradition, and draw from cultural narratives through contemporary aesthetics and modern fabrication techniques.

Contributing to the development of a diverse local creative scene, the UAE Designer Exhibition will return to Downtown Design 2026, taking place 4–8 November in Dubai Design District. The exhibition offers visibility to a wide audience of B2B and B2C visitors, alongside opportunities for mentorship with internationally renowned figures from the creative industry, as well as potential participation in showcases taking place globally.
