One of HGTV’s popular design personalities, Anthony Carrino, used Cosentino’s ultra compact surface for countertops throughout his living space for its durability, versatility and industrial aesthetic
Dekton Manufacturer/Supplier: Cosentino, Mt. Kisco, NYLarge-format materials — commonly referred to as “ultra compact surfaces,” which generally span the height of an average-sized grade school student — have been growing in popularity over the last several years. And while these materials are often a prime choice for commercial applications, more recently, they are being incorporated into a variety of residential projects.
This was the case for designer and builder Anthony Carrino, when it came to the recent renovation of his 1,200-square-foot loft in Jersey City, NJ, which formerly served as a historic telephone building. Carrino, a HGTV design and construction personality, who is currently featured on three of the channel’s shows with his cousin, John Colaneri — “Kitchen Cousins,” “Cousins on Call” and “Cousins Undercover” — was looking to create a space that would both highlight his personality while also feature materials that were versatile and durable enough to allow for entertaining without any worries.
