High Point Market is set to welcome back global surface leader Cosentino for its upcoming Fall showcase, running from October 17 through October 21, 2026. Building on a multi-year investment in the historic Broad Hall venue located at 300 W. Broad Ave., the brand is shifting its strategic narrative for the event. After heavily focusing its past market presentations on ready-to-ship bathroom solutions, Cosentino is pivoting this season to introduce a reimagined, highly elevated entertaining lounge designed to demonstrate the remarkable versatility and performance of its innovative surfaces throughout the entire modern home.
This ongoing presence in Broad Hall is part of a collaborative, long-term initiative alongside the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), which has helped transform the historic space into a premier destination for interior designers, architects, and industry professionals visiting the biannual North Carolina furniture and design market. By anchoring its presence in a shared, high-profile venue, Cosentino continues to cement its role as a leading voice in residential design and surface technology.
The decision to transition from bath-centric solutions to a whole-home entertaining concept stems directly from evolving consumer demands and shifting residential architecture trends. Modern homeowners increasingly look to interior designers to conceptualize, design, and execute flexible, multifunctional spaces that can seamlessly transition from quiet family areas to sophisticated hosting environments. Cosentino’s new fall showroom layout is specifically tailored to address this design shift, highlighting how high-performance materials can unify various zones of a residence.
Patty Dominguez, vice president of business development for Cosentino Americas, emphasized the strategic importance of this year’s market theme. She noted that designers are routinely tasked by their clients with creating multifunctional spaces that do not sacrifice aesthetic elegance for everyday utility. By refreshing the Broad Hall space for the upcoming Fall Market, the company aims to demonstrate just how integral its advanced surfaces are to this modern evolution in residential design. She added that the newly conceptualized Cosentino Lounge offers attendees a tangible glimpse into how the brand’s extensive surface portfolios come to life within real-world residential settings, expressing excitement about continuing participation in one of the design industry’s most influential gatherings.
Innovative Products in an Immersive Setting
Within the newly designed Cosentino Lounge, the brand has reimagined the traditional showroom experience by anchoring its advanced surfaces around the concept of domestic entertaining. Rather than presenting isolated material samples, the space immerses visitors in fully realized, high-end interior vignettes that showcase the depth, texture, and adaptability of the brand’s signature lines.
A striking focal point of the lounge is a dramatic, large-format slab wall featuring Dekton Amazonik Kedar. With its rich, oak-inspired visual texture, the installation creates a warm and sophisticated backdrop for an intimate seating nook furnished with chairs from Moss Home. Adjacent to this relaxing zone, the showroom’s library area is thoughtfully accessorized with materials sourced from Made Goods, creating a layered, lived-in aesthetic that resonates with high-end residential interior design preferences.
Further into the lounge, a fully equipped wet bar serves as a masterclass in modern material pairing. The bar centers on ECLOS in Legnd, a rich and earthy brown mineral surface that represents the cutting edge of Cosentino’s material development. This centerpiece surface is complemented by a high-end Miele refrigerator, warm organic wood textures, decorative mirrors supplied by Claris Company, elegant brass hardware, and carefully layered lighting configurations specifically engineered to mimic the sophisticated ambiance of an exclusive home gathering space.
In addition to these immersive environmental displays, on-site attendees at High Point Market will have the unique opportunity to explore Cosentino’s latest collections from both ECLOS and Dekton. These comprehensive displays are carefully curated to highlight how the brand’s materials continue to evolve technologically and aesthetically alongside the changing demands of contemporary living. Furthermore, trade professionals visiting the Broad Hall showroom will receive an exclusive first look at the brand’s upcoming Silestone collection, which is officially scheduled to debut later this year.
Beyond product displays, the space in Broad Hall will continue to function as the operational hub for the exclusive Cosentino Trade Outreach Program (CTOP). This dedicated initiative is designed to connect architecture and design professionals with valuable reward programs, professional resources, specialized education, and ongoing project inspiration, further solidifying the brand’s partnership-driven approach to the design community.
Design-Centric Programming
Complementing the physical showroom experience, Cosentino has curated a robust slate of design-centric educational programming for High Point Market Fall 2026. The brand will host two high-profile panel discussions featuring some of the most respected interior designers, trade editors, and industry leaders, offering attendees deep dives into both creative design trends and the practical realities of running a successful design business.
The first panel discussion is scheduled for Saturday, October 17, at 12:30 p.m., and is titled "Soak It Up: The Latest Bath Trends Elevating the Everyday." This engaging conversation will explore the ongoing evolution of luxury bathroom design, focusing on how functional wet spaces can be transformed into restorative personal sanctuaries. The panel features a distinguished group of industry experts, including interior designer and Emmy-winning television host Mikel Welch of Mikel Welch Designs; Blair Moore, founder and creative director of the Moore House Design Team; Pam Durkin, president of James Martin Vanities; and Cosentino’s own Patty Dominguez. The discussion will be moderated by Mel Studach, senior editor at AD Pro.
The second panel discussion will take place on Sunday, October 18, at 10:00 a.m., shifting the focus from creative execution to professional practice under the title "The Bottom Line: Best Practices to Running Your Design Business." This session is designed to provide actionable business strategies, operational insights, and professional advice for interior designers navigating the complexities of running a modern creative firm. The panel brings together prominent design leaders, including interior designer Arianne Bellizaire of Arianne Bellizaire Interiors; Allison Paladino of Paladino Rudd Interior Design; Benjamin Johnston of Benjamin Johnston Design; and Lori Paranjape, owner and principal of Mrs. Paranjape Design + Interiors. The conversation will be moderated by Sarah Shelton, senior market editor at Luxe Interiors + Design.
Through this combination of immersive product storytelling, whole-home design concepts, and thought-leadership panels, Cosentino’s return to Broad Hall at High Point Market promises to deliver a comprehensive and inspiring experience for the design community throughout the five-day event.
