Toronto Congress Centre. April 17 to 19, 2026.
A small room. Grasscloth on the walls. A counter in Cosentino stone. Two ALICE floor sculptures, each on a different ĒCLOS base. TWINS, paired, glowing above the counter. ALICE MINI, on the surface. JUMEAU across the wall. And a limited-edition console, also in Cosentino stone, holding the centre.
This was the Gemini Collection's first complete environment. Living Luxe 2026, at Modo Forma, Toronto's new design centre. Three brands stood in the room. Modo Forma curated it. Cosentino grounded it. Claris built the design language. The booth stood as one room, not three.
Key takeaways
- Living Luxe 2026 was the Gemini Collection's first complete environment: one room, three brands, five pieces.
- Cosentino grounded the room in stone: ĒCLOS Ivora and Phantome under ALICE, SENSA Kaira on the limited-edition console.
- TWINS installed as a paired portrait; JUMEAU carried the wall above the counter; ALICE MINI held the surface.
- The console was Claris's first move into furniture, limited edition, available by inquiry.
- Display pieces from the booth may still be available by email.

ALICE
ALICE stands as a floor sculpture. A statement before it is a mirror; a piece for the room that gets a piece, not a mirror. By Benoît Gérard. Specified for residential foyers, hospitality lobbies, and design showrooms.
At the booth, two of them stood side by side, one on ĒCLOS Phantome and one on ĒCLOS Ivora, so the same silhouette carried two registers at once. The full origin of the piece, and how the Cosentino ĒCLOS partnership came to be, is told in the ALICE and ĒCLOS story.
ALICE MINI carries the same idea to a small surface. A piece that earns its spot on a console, a dresser, a shelf where a small object earns the eye.
TWINS
TWINS is one piece with four possibilities. A vertical form with a circular aperture. Installed alone or paired, portrait or landscape. The design holds its proportion in every orientation.
The wall decides nothing. The designer decides everything.
The construction is the Gemini standard: a 4mm Diamond ClearVision mirror layered over 6mm Belgian bronze glass, 30mm deep in total, frameless, finished in Bronze Frosted or Bronze Mirror. Four formats run from 26 by 60 to 30 by 76 inches, with the circular aperture sized to the panel: 22 inches on the narrower formats, 26 on the wider. Every format hangs vertical or horizontal on the same key hole mounts, with a 3000K LED backlight or no LED at all, hardwired with a plug option.
At Modo Forma, the TWINS were installed as a pair in portrait orientation. Two vertical forms stacked, two circular apertures running down the wall. One panel, one decision from the designer, and the room came across as composed rather than furnished.
JUMEAU
JUMEAU is a single architectural form with two circular apertures. Bronze frosted finish, warm and diffused. At home in a bathroom or a living space.
Two circular openings hold the reflection; the bronze frosted body holds the light.
The build matches TWINS: 4mm Diamond ClearVision over 6mm bronze frosted Belgian glass, 30mm total, frameless, on key hole mounts. Two catalogue formats, 51 by 26 and 60 by 30 inches, carry dual round apertures of 22 and 26 inches respectively, so each reflection sits centred where a face actually stands. The LED backlight is 3000K, warm by design, hardwired with a plug option, and a no-LED version serves rooms that already carry their light. A piece for the double vanity, the feature wall, the long horizontal stretch.
A limited-edition console, in SENSA Kaira
The console is a limited-edition piece, separate from the Gemini Collection. Designed by Benoît Gérard, finished in Cosentino SENSA Kaira. A natural stone with green-leaning veining.
At the booth, the console held the centre. JUMEAU above. ALICE MINI pieces on the surface.
Claris's first move into furniture. Limited edition. Available by inquiry.
A room built by Modo Forma, Cosentino, and Claris
Three brands. One room.
Modo Forma is Toronto's new design centre. The roster is built around considered furniture and material brands, the kind of pieces that move quietly through projects rather than loudly through showrooms. The booth at Living Luxe was Modo Forma's first public outing of its curation discipline.
Cosentino brought ĒCLOS and SENSA. The ĒCLOS bases under ALICE and ALICE MINI, Ivora and Phantome, gave the Gemini lead pieces their weight. SENSA Kaira gave the limited-edition console its surface. The same material partner across three pieces, two materials, three different registers.
Benoît Gérard, Creative Director of Claris and lead designer of the Gemini Collection, wrote the brief: the mirror should stand as an object first, and a mirror second. The Cosentino partnership extended that idea into stone for the Gemini bases. The limited-edition console extended it past mirrors entirely, into a surface. The same brief carried the collection to OCHE King West, its first hospitality install.
