The way I see it, countertop materials have to be reasonably easy to install, durable, smooth, and not offensive-looking. I admit that my standards might be lower and my universe for an acceptable countertop larger than those of a high-brow designer-type, but I think that CaesarStone is a brand that can bridge the gap between the style-conscious designer and the practical-minded contractor, especially if your clients have a decent budget to play with.
If CaesarStone's Apple Martini and Tequila Sunrise quartz counters weren't eye-catching (or mouth-watering) enough, check out the Concetto from CaesarStone. Not only does it have the most unique-looking quartz surface that I've seen, it also has the uber-unique angle of having a hand-crafted touch. There are semi-precious stones hand-embedded by hand into the counter material during the manufacturing process. While long stretches might be a bit much, a high-end home office, vanity top or bar counter would be my favorite spots to showcase this gem.
