For nearly 15 years, Neolith has been the design world’s premiere surface source, offering a range of materials that deftly bridge the gap between form and function. Now, for the 2025 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas, Neolith is celebrating a careful mix of old and new.
The brand has teamed up with designer Vanessa Deleon to share her eponymous edit, a chicly curated selection of existing colorways and styles. For Deleon, her “seamless synergy” with Neolith made it possible to create an edit that spoke to her design sensibility on a cellular level. Yes, even if that meant thinking outside of the box.
“Rather than opting for predictable choices, I chose shades that introduce depth, contrast, and versatility in unexpected ways,” she explains. “These selections complement designs that aren’t always the first to come to mind, allowing for fresh interpretations and a more dynamic aesthetic.” From the verdant tones of Amazonico to the high-contrast drama in Niagara (pictured above), the Vanessa Deleon Edit celebrates the nuance of color and texture.
“[I selected] the colors I work with most and [wanted to highlight] their unique qualities in fresh and inspiring ways,” the designer notes. “The ability to use these products in various applications — such as floors, countertops and wall cladding — opens up endless design possibilities.”
Though style might be at the forefront of the Vanessa Deleon Edit, the collection is also a celebration in sustainability. Each of the colorways seen here has a crystalline silica content of under nine percent, minimizing its environmental impact.
“We believe in creating designs that inspire while protecting our planet,” James Amendola, CEO of Neolith Americas, said in a statement. “Our sustainability efforts, from recycling materials to minimizing the environmental impact of our production processes enable us to build a better future for everyone.”
It’s that same emphasis on eco-friendliness that is at the forefront of the brand’s newest endeavor: Four fresh surfaces that are part of Neolith’s campaign, Atmosphere: Breeze of Innovation. New arrivals WhiteSands and Rapolano enlist cutting-edge digital texture technology to pay homage to New Mexico’s White Sands National Park and Italian Renaissance stone, respectively. There’s also Ignea, which draws inspiration from volcanic landscapes and is made with 98 percent recyclable materials. Meanwhile, Artisan honors the craftsmanship and timelessness of Gothic limestone architecture — proving that, in addition to style and sustainability, Neolith’s offerings have staying power.
