Gorgeous Concrete Look-Alike

Jamie Gernert

Don’t be fooled—though this gorgeous countertop looks like concrete, it is actually a more durable lookalike stone known as Pietra Cordosa sourced from Italy. Owner Jamie Gernert loves the look of concrete but wanted to invest in a more durable material. 

“With our island being more of a focal point and cooking space, I wanted it to feel like a custom furniture piece rather than cabinetry,” Gernert said. “This particular stone is the sandstone family, and since it's a natural material, it already comes with neat imperfections and movement.” 

It's recommended that you seal the stone prior to installation and then use a gentle PH cleanser after every use.

This island is the star and center of attention in this light-filled kitchen. It’s naturalistic finish complements the jute runner and touches of green in the space. The best part? The owners of this island completed this project all by themselves.

"What I love most about our island is that we did it ourselves and saved so much money," designer Gem Seears said. "I’ve always loved concrete: the look, the feel, the texture, and the rawness of it. It’s strong and durable but looks amazing. Not one other person anywhere has the same benchtop as us, and I love that it’s totally unique."

Interior specialist Puk Munch Sjeldan has no regrets about installing the concrete countertop in her minimalist Copenhagen kitchen. 

“We hired a flooring company to cast the concrete kitchen counter on-site, and it was far from an easy process with them,” Sjeldan said. “It took forever to get it right, but in the end, it was all worth it. We love it so much today—and it just gets more and more beautiful with time.”
