Empava received multiple industry recognitions at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) last month, earning top honors for its latest wellness and design innovations in the bath category.
The company’s Smart WiFi Indoor/Outdoor Cold Plunge Tub received the Silver Best of KBIS 2026 Wellness Trailblazer Award, recognizing innovation in wellness-focused kitchen and bath products. In addition, the plunge tub received a Best of KBIS 2026 Award from SheFinds, while Empava’s Sculptura Soaking Tub earned a Best of KBIS 2026 Award from Maxim, highlighting the growing industry recognition of Empava’s design-forward bath collection.
“These awards reflect the growing importance of wellness and design-forward thinking in the home,” said Ricky Cheng, president of Empava. “Whether it’s performance-driven recovery through cold therapy or a sculptural centerpiece that redefines the bath space, our goal is to create products that help homeowners design spaces that support both well-being and personal expression.”
These recognitions highlight Empava’s continued focus on bringing wellness, performance, and design innovation into the modern home. As homeowners increasingly prioritize recovery, relaxation and spa-like environments, Empava’s expanding bath collection reflects a growing demand for products that support both well-being and elevated interior design.
