Cosentino, the global leader in innovative surfaces for architecture and design, in collaboration with DesignTO, announces a Canada-wide call for submissions for the 2026 Éclos Capsule Collection Competition.
Open to Canadian designers living in Canada and abroad, this initiative invites proposals for furniture, objects or sculptural work that explore the creative potential of Éclos, Cosentino’s next-generation mineral surface.
Selected designs will be fabricated in Toronto, professionally documented and exhibited in Canada and the United States, offering a rare opportunity for designers to bring new work into production and public view.
