Toronto-based Designer Ramsin Khachi in the Cambria Design Home Kitchen

Toronto-based Designer Ramsin Khachi in the Cambria Design Home Kitchen

Cambria quartz countertops are proud to announce their featured designer for Winter 2012, celebrated interior designer Ramsin Khachi. Khachi spearheads the Toronto-based Khachi Design Group, which he grew from a one-man construction company into a full service Design/Build firm. Khachi often appears on CTV’s Marilyn Denis Show and has also served as an expert for Benjamin Moore paints.

Khachi used Cambria as the unifying force in a recent design job that resurrected a 23-year-old split level in Oakville, a suburb west of Toronto. He chose Cambria because, in his own words, “I’m not interested in following trends. I like to use classical details with a contemporary twist, and materials like Cambria that will stand the test of time.” The home is fully upgraded for each room to function ideally as possible. Every room is also upgraded with state-of-the-art technology like biometric locks, sensors to automatically Read More→

Earlier this month, Construction Resources debuted the new Cambria colors in style with a runway show and launch party at Eclipse di Luna.

Cambria recently introduced the Waterstone collection, a new portfolio of colors that captures the movement of water in vibrant and natural tones. Cambria offers more than 100 colors of American-made quartz surface, giving homeowners, designers and builders a local and eco-friendly choice when planning out kitchens, baths and more.

Models took to the red carpet to showcase the new colors in stunning dresses… made of Tyvek! That’s correct, the models wore designs made of house wrap and printed with each of the colors.

Mariel Hemingway arrived to talk about how Cambria fits into a holistic lifestyle. She recently moved into a new home with granite, but is having it all removed and replaced with Cambria. Cambria needs no sealing, so its indoor air quality is second to none.

If you did not get a chance to experience the full slabs of Cambria at the color launch, please visit our Decatur slab gallery and slab yard to get a good up-close look of the stunning choices.

All of the photos from the launch party are available to view on our Flickr page.
