As usual, Kohler steals the show every year with their impressive presentation and attractive product displays.
Kohler leads the way with retro designs and amazing colors. Pastel colors was a theme throughout the KBIS show.

We’re big fans of Artistic Tile and their beautiful designs
Konkretus is a Columbian company crafting beautiful handmade bathtubs and sinks. No two pieces are alike. Each piece is hand made, so there are differences between them. Each sink is unique.
This is a great design feature we’ve seen at the show for a few years now. Burners built into the stone countertop. Some countertops even have hidden induction burners built in and invisible. You cook right on the countertops!

How cool is this? 2-in-1 sink & top loading dishwasher
SMEG is always a highlight of the show. SMEG and Fiat merge form and function to create an extraordinary new item for the “FIAT 500 Design collection”. Because a refrigerator is not just an electrical appliance, and a bonnet is not just a car part.
Great technology by Välinge. Their Threespine technology makes furniture assembly easy, fast and fail-safe. The result is flawless, long-lasting furniture with precise angles and no visible holes. There is no need for tools or fittings – the pieces just click together. When are they going to team up with Ikea??
Mario Romano WALLS is partnered with Corian/DuPont to create puzzle-piece approach to large solid surface designs and installations.

Modular home construction is booming. Modular building, if brought to scale, has the potential to reduce construction costs and make building new homes more affordable, especially in areas experiencing severe affordable housing shortages. We walked through most of the modular homes at the show and were impressed at just how nice they are and there’s lots of choices from the smaller boutique modular builders to the bigger ones like Modulux
We spent some time getting educated on some of the newer emerging building products and how they are installed.
