Caesarstone’s 2024 collection embodies the philosophy of human centric design, a methodology that places people at the core of the design process. This approach ensures that the designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also tailored to meet the needs and experiences of our customers. This philosophy drives the entire collection bringing together three major trends: Japandi, Mineral Energy, and Mindfulness & Wellness.

What is Human-Centric Design?

Human centric design focuses on creating solutions that are tailored to the unique needs, behaviors, and experiences of people. It revolves around placing humans and their connection with their surroundings at the forefront of the design process. With this idea, Caesarstone has developed a series of collections rooted in three lifestyle trends: Japandi, Mineral Energy, and Mindfulness & Wellness. Each one reflects different aspects of this design philosophy emphasizing simplicity, connection to nature, and the promotion of well-being.

Japandi: The Essence of Comfort

Japandi is a hybrid style that combines the simplicity and minimalism of Nordic design with traditional Japanese aesthetics. Despite the geographical and cultural disparities between Japan and Scandinavia, both cultures share a profound appreciation for nature, craftsmanship, and the beauty of simplicity. Embracing a minimalist lifestyle means prioritizing only the essentials and ensuring that every element serves a purpose. In a Japandi kitchen, empty space isn’t overlooked; it’s cherished as a vital component, allowing the room to breathe. You’ll find clean lines, natural materials, and calm colors like beige, gray, brown, white, and green in these kitchens, making them both practical and peaceful.

Rossa Nova, with its honey amber veins and gold accents, reflects the dynamic forces of nature. Aterra Verity’s evolving gold-bronze palette creates a soothing, harmonious environment that aligns perfectly with the Japandi aesthetic.

Mineral Energy: The Essence of Materiality

How Mineral Energy Reflects Human-Centric Design

Mineral Energy focuses on the inherent beauty and power of natural materials. This trend celebrates the raw, unrefined aspects of nature, highlighting textures and colors that connect us to the earth. In the 2024 collection, 5152 Goldfinch surface captures the essence of Mineral Energy.

Mindfulness & Wellness: The Essence of the Moment

Mindfulness and wellness are about creating kitchens that promote relaxation, well-being, and a connection to nature. This trend responds to our desire to bring the outside world inside, fostering a sense of serenity and balance. The trend finds expression in surfaces like 543 Marenstone, that features a dry, neutral base with ivory and beige granules, evoking the texture of fine sand and crushed shells that have aged into stone over countless years.
