-Regulus-
Description & Features
Regulus, from the Starlight series of Coante’s Essence line, brings a discreet sparkle to a deep grey background. Over a charcoal base lies a dense scatter of angular grains and chips in black and dark grey, of various sizes, and among them small white-silver specks catch the light and sparkle as the viewing angle changes; the whole has a lively yet even texture, with no veins. Coante, set up in 2018 by the Ermaş group, produces Regulus in Muğla, Turkey, from quartz grains, resin and pigments on Breton lines; the material has a Mohs hardness of 7, abrasion resistance class A4 and water absorption below 0.07%. Its slabs, Jumbo 330 × 164 cm or Medium 310 × 152 cm, come in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses, with a polished or Leather finish. It is suited to kitchen countertops and islands, bathroom vanity tops, wall cladding and interior stairs, where it gives a contemporary, urban look. A slightly damp microfibre cloth and a little neutral cleaner are enough to care for it, with no sealer or polish; hot cookware always goes on a trivet.
