New quartz designs from Caesarstone

One of our long-time favourite surface brands, Caesarstone just launched two new marble-inspired quartz designs as part of their Classico Collection, featuring subtle veining and refined earthy tones for a delicate look. Georgian Bluffs is characterised by a light grey base and white and grey veining with a soft industrial edge; Alpine Mist, on the other hand, comes with a pale grey base and uniquely crisp white veins for a look that’s classy yet one-of-a-kind. As always, the new surfaces are heat, stain, scratch, mould and mildew resistant, making them ideal for both kitchen and bathroom applications.
