The Stone

See the natural beauty of Solesta up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this quartz unique.

Colour:

White Grey Charcoal

Dense grey veining fractures across a bright white base — a bold, dramatic calacatta-style quartz with real intensity.

Coante Solesta is the most visually intense calacatta-style design in the Arteo 3D collection. Its bright white base is covered by dense, highly fractured veining that forms a complex random network across the entire surface. The veins range from fine, capillary-like threads to bolder bands and cloudy areas, all in cool grey tones that shift from light and translucent through to darker, more pronounced charcoal shades. The result is deep, dynamic movement that gives the surface genuine visual weight. This is a worktop for kitchens where the stone is the centrepiece. The polished finish amplifies the contrast between the crisp white base and the layered grey veining, making it particularly striking under directed lighting. Underneath the drama, it's the same reliable Coante quartz — 93% natural stone, non-porous, stain-resistant, and covered by a 25-year warranty. Available in 3200 × 1600mm jumbo slabs with 20mm or 30mm thicknesses. Supplied and installed by In2Stone across Hampshire.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Solesta

What does Coante Solesta look like?
Solesta has a bright white base covered by dense, highly fractured veining in cool grey tones ranging from light and translucent to darker charcoal. The veining forms a complex, random network — from fine capillary-like threads to broader cloudy bands — creating deep, dynamic visual movement across the surface. It's the most intense calacatta-style design in the Coante range.
Is Solesta too busy for a small kitchen?
The dense veining is certainly bold, but the white base keeps the overall brightness high. In a smaller kitchen, pair it with simple white or pale grey cabinetry and keep wall colours neutral to avoid visual competition. The dramatic veining can actually give a compact space more character and a feeling of intentional design.
How does Solesta compare to Calacatta Claire?
Both are dramatic, but in different ways. Calacatta Claire has warm coppery-brown veining that creates a rich, warm mood. Solesta uses cool grey tones exclusively, giving it a crisper, more classic calacatta character. Solesta's veining is also denser and more fractured, with a greater sense of depth and complexity.
What lighting brings out the best in Solesta?
Directed downlighting — pendant lights or under-cabinet LEDs — works best with Solesta. The polished finish picks up the light and creates subtle reflections that bring out the tonal shifts between the lighter and darker grey veining. Avoid flat, diffused lighting which can wash out the detail.
Does the dense veining affect practical durability?
Not at all. The veining is a surface design created by Arteo 3D printing technology — it has no impact on the structural properties of the quartz. Solesta is built from the same 93% natural stone as every Coante product, with identical hardness, stain resistance, and durability. The 25-year warranty applies regardless of the design complexity.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
