• Cosentino has been collaborating with the Madrid Design Festival since its inception four years
ago. In 2021, Cosentino continues to be a major partner of this prestigious international event,
developing important initiatives such as design exhibitions, book launches, competitions,
interviews and design discussion forums.
Cantoria (Almería), 29th January, 2021.-Cosentino, the Spanish global leader in the production and
distribution of innovative surfaces for the world of architecture and design, is sponsoring the Madrid
Design Festival 2021, an event organised with the aim of turning Madrid into the world capital of design
during the month of February, covering different disciplines such as architecture, design,
communication and interior design. Cosentino, which has sponsored the Madrid Design Festival since its
inception four years ago, is contributing to this year's edition with an interesting programme of activities
and content.
▪ “Re/creations” by the product design studio los díez
Leaving pessimism for better times, “Re/creations” introduces itself as a positive and optimistic
exhibition. With this exhibition, in which recreating is synonymous with entertaining, the studio
presents a series of poems that aim to delight the visitor. Their works, such as El beso (The Kiss), ¡Oh! De
Ideas (Oh! For Ideas), Flirteo (Flirting), Resiliencia (Resilience) or Cruce de Miradas (Crossing Gazes),
invite visitors to enter a place full of irony, eroticism, surprise and celebration of ideas which will bring a
smile to their faces and hopefully make them laugh.
