Kitchen · Seattle, WA
A diamond-shaped kitchen island in Dekton Laurent at the Seattle Design Center, with veining matched across every plane.
Dekton Laurent has bold veining that has to flow across intersecting planes. The diamond-shaped island needed seams that line up precisely. Slab selection had to be coordinated so veining and color stay even.
We used StoneEx digital laser templating to plan the layout and align the veins across the island. Our team coordinated slab selection to keep the veining consistent. An eased edge keeps the design simple and lets the stone do the talking.
The island is the focal point of the room with a clean, architectural shape. Dekton's durability and heat resistance suit everyday cooking.
The challenge in detail
Dekton Laurent is known for bold, detailed veining, and this kitchen at the Seattle Design Center asked for that veining to flow continuously where planes meet. The island is diamond-shaped, so its seams had to be aligned precisely to support a clean architectural composition rather than interrupt it. The material is a 2 cm sintered stone, and the design depended on how well each piece matched the next.
The seamless, contemporary look the client wanted called for careful handling and coordination through fabrication. Given the complexity of the shape, vein alignment was the top priority. Slab selection mattered just as much: the slabs had to be chosen and coordinated so the veining and color stayed consistent across the installation. The setting raised the bar further, since the Seattle Design Center is a hub for design and the kitchen had to hold up to close attention for both looks and function.
How we approached it
StoneEx digital laser templating captured the measurements of the space. With that record, the layout was planned in detail so the veins line up across the diamond-shaped island. The Dekton slabs were then cut by CNC to the digital template, which gave each piece the size and shape needed for smooth transitions and tight seams.
Our team coordinated slab selection with the natural veining and variation of the material in mind, so each piece was placed where its pattern would connect with the next. The edge profile was chosen to keep the contemporary look while staying durable. An eased edge suits the simplicity of the design and keeps attention on the striking veining of the Dekton Laurent.
The finished project
The finished island is the focal point of the kitchen at the Seattle Design Center. Its diamond shape adds a sense of movement to the space and gives the room a clean, architectural composition. The eased edge keeps the profile quiet, so the Dekton Laurent veining remains the main feature of the island.
The matched veining carries across the island, and the island ties in with the rest of the kitchen design. Dekton is a sintered stone with durability and heat resistance, so the surface is practical for daily cooking as well as good to look at. The project brought design vision and technical work together to produce a custom countertop in Seattle that is both refined and functional.
