Cosentino launches first carbon-neutral quartz surfaces
Silestone by Cosentino just launched Sunlit Days, the first carbon-neutral collection of quartz surfaces in the industry. Not only are these surfaces more environmentally friendly than ever, but they are also exceptionally beautiful, bringing colour to Cosentino’s range with vibrant shades inspired by the Mediterranean.
These range from the soothing Cala Blue and lush Posidonia Green to the refreshing Arcilla Red, the bolder hues supported by Faro White and Cincel Grey, two neutral shades that anchor this yummy, romantic collection.

Hansgrohe releases music made from unusual water sounds
You may not expect a company that specialises in bathroom fittings to release a music album, but hansgrohe’s WaterTunes is certainly worth a listen. Comprising songs such as “Love for the Rain,” “The Beauty of Flow” and “Follow the Wave,” the album lists a total of eight electro-pop tracks that range from lively and vibrant to perfectly soothing.
The tunes were composed by German musicians Florian Kruse and Andreas Paulsen, who based the music on water disturbance noise from the brand’s spray and sound lab, making it an entirely unique and unconventional album. You can listen to all eight tracks on the hansgrohe website as well as on Spotify.
Netgear launches Wi-Fi photo frame

You’ll never have to worry about printing family pictures again thanks to 4K image support, easy uploads and even motion-activated gallery browsing.
