The fashion and interior designer demonstrated ways to adapt the Ethereal by Silestone collection into different interiors through a virtual interior styling masterclass

Hosted virtually, the interior styling masterclass was attended by invited guests such as model and influencer, Venice Min and entrepreneur and co-founder of Bowerhaus jewellery, Elizabeth Lee. Guests in attendance were treated to an exclusive session by Melinda Looi, who shared her personal tips and design expertise on how to combine the Ethereal by Silestone collection with different personalities and styles. Her interior design tips included creating an energetic ambience for a lively individual to curating an artistic environment for a creative person, and from crafting out a sleek and clean space for a minimalist to introducing classy and elegant designs for individuals who prefer timeless designs that can stand the test of time. To help her audience better envision the interior design ideas featuring the Ethereal by Silestone collection, Melinda Looi demonstrated her interior design inspirations, ideas and materials through a moodboard.

“Every home should be reflective of an individual’s personality as it is where they spend most of their time in. To make that space a warm and welcoming home which reflects their personality, it is important to invest in the right surfaces that are chic and sustainable, which can easily be adaptable to any space to provide homeowners that elevated experience desired. And the Ethereal by Silestone collection is a testament to that,” quote Melinda Looi.

“At Cosentino, we have always strived to be the leaders in innovation, sustainability and the interior design solution provider that offers tastefully beautiful and functional surfaces which are timeless. Globally we are excited to partner with international fashion icon, Cindy Crawford, to introduce the Ethereal by Silestone collection. Here in Malaysia, we are thrilled to partner with our local superstar Melinda Looi, who shares the same values of innovation and sustainability as Cosentino and we hope that this will spark design inspiration ideas featuring the Ethereal by Silestone collection among Malaysians,” quoted Iván Capelo, General Manager of Cosentino Malaysia.

“Similar to fashion which features a combination of materials, you can always include different styles and elements into a dress to create more textures, and interior design is the same. You can always feature a combination of different surfaces, such as the different colours from the Ethereal by Silestone collection for interior design inspirations,”

During the masterclass, Cosentino also showcased a global avant-garde campaign video titled “The Metamorphosis” featuring entrepreneur and international fashion icon, Cindy Crawford. “The Metamorphosis” serves as an allegory of Silestone's own transition and work to be innovative and revolutionary which is demonstrated through the sustainable HybriQ+ technology that makes up the Ethereal by Silestone surfaces. The campaign also showcases how Cosentino relates to nature as its north star inspires change from within.

“The Sophisticated” features a combination of both Ethereal Glow and Ethereal Noctis surfaces which exude a modern and timeless design. As the Ethereal Noctis has gradients of grey and a more natural tone, it can create a very modern and minimalist interior. You can also incorporate black furniture into the home design to give a sophisticated feel.”
