One of two patterns in the recently introduced Silestone Loft Series range of natural quartz surfaces, Brooklyn is a deep grey with shadowy effects that straddles the line between industrial and rustic. The material is impact-, stain- and scratch-resistant, is low-liquid absorbent and features the brand’s new Raw texture, which takes on the tactile quality of concrete. Available in a variety of format sizes and thicknesses, it’s suitable for such diverse projects as countertops, walls, floors and furniture.  cosentino.com
