If your morning routine starts with caffeine and ends in aesthetic inspiration, keep reading.
The Cosentino and Lamarsa coffee corner collaboration is here to prove that your coffee setup deserves just as much style as your shoe closet. The two powerhouses Cosentino, global surface innovators, and Lamarsa, purveyors of fine coffee machines, have come together for a dreamy design session that has every coffee lover and interior stylist talking.
Hosted at the Cosentino showroom in Damansara on July 2, 2025, the event was a visual and sensory delight. Imagine gleaming surfaces, the hiss of espresso machines, and the scent of freshly ground beans swirling in the air. Professional baristas were on site to brew coffee, guests got to enjoy a close-up look at what does it mean to design a high-performance, high-style coffee corner.
Design That Works as Hard as You Do
Cosentino isn’t just about surfaces. It’s about statements. Their Dekton collection was the hero of the day—scratch-resistant, stain-proof, heat-tolerant and chic enough to make even the messiest pour-over look luxurious.
“Design should never slow you down,” shared Leonard Mak, founder of LM Studio and design expert of the hour. “A good brew corner is intuitive. It should work with you, not against you.” His hot tip? Prioritise ergonomics and clean lines. No one wants to strain their back just to steam milk.
Three highlights from Mark mentions, countertop durability, proper lighting (no more latte art in the dark), and the right counter height. “If you’re spending hours behind the bar, your setup better love you back.” And for anyone who’s knocked over a full cup of matcha, Dekton surfaces wipe clean like magic.
Coffee Equipment That’s All Grown Up
While Cosentino handled the style, Lamarsa brought the substance. Their signature lineup of espresso machines from La Marzocco stole the show—sleek, sexy and built to perform. Whether you’re brewing for ten guests or just yourself on a Monday morning, Lamarsa machines are engineered for ease and perfection.
Claudia Tan, Director of Lamarsa Malaysia, summed it up perfectly: “You don’t need to be a professional barista to enjoy professional-level coffee. Our goal is to bring world-class equipment into everyday homes—and make it look good.”
For this event, all eyes were on the Linea Mini and Linea Micra, two compact yet powerful machines that can elevate any countertop. Bonus? They look as good as they brew.
Brewing with the Best
To show what the setup could really do, world champion barista Shaun Liew stepped behind the counter. His presence was electric—but his pour was even better. From flat whites to a signature mocktail named Summer Paradise (espresso, mango, lime, passion fruit syrup, and soda—yes, it’s as refreshing as it sounds), Shaun proved that great design really does fuel creativity.
He described Dekton as the ultimate barista’s best friend. “I can prep, pour, and serve all on one surface—no stress, no stains, and no scratches,” he said. That’s a pretty solid endorsement, considering the guy literally wins trophies for his coffee.
The Art of Crafting a Brew Corner
Forget sad kitchen counters and awkward setups. A proper brew corner is a vibe—and a lifestyle. Think: lighting that flatters your latte, equipment that doesn’t fight you, and a space that feels like an extension of your own energy.
According to Mak, “A brew corner isn’t just about coffee. It’s about ritual. About how you start your day or unwind after work.” With Cosentino and Lamarsa’s thoughtful approach to design and function, you can finally build a space that respects both the bean and the person holding the cup.
It’s Not Just Design. It’s Daily Luxury.
What this collaboration really showcased was how coffee and design can live in harmony. From the stain-resistant counters to café-grade gear, every element served both form and function. It was about more than aesthetics. It was about experience.
So whether you’re opening your dream café or curating the perfect coffee corner at home, take it from the pros: investing in quality gear and surfaces isn’t just practical. It’s personal.
