This year’s winning products – encompassing our overall Kitchen and Bath nods and 27 categories – included many easy, clever solutions that work behind the scenes. This year, the judges went outside the box and chose several offerings that don’t necessarily take center stage. Several of our winners debuted at KBIS 2025.
A lightweight concrete tub was singled out because its overflow is concealed, and a power grommet was chosen for its ability to retract into and blend in the with countertop. In the kitchen, a drawer organizer with magnetic pegs won a nod, as did a fixture with push-to-conceal handles. In the bathroom, a lavatory trap got high marks for aesthetic merit, and the judges loved a no-wiggle hardware solution.
Shapes are all the rage this year, as seen in an arched medicine cabinet, a square choice for downlights, a new cement surfacing option and a new twist on decorative hardware. And personalization and customization are still trending.
We are so excited to congratulate this year’s KBB Product Awards winners!
2025 Product Awards Bathroom Product of the Year: VAST Studio Concrete Tub
Concrete is making its way into today’s homes in myriad ways, and this year’s overall bath product winner (and Tub category front-runner) is following suit. Our judges were impressed by the thin-walled tub with an overflow – something a little extra that hasn’t been typically available. The made-in-the-USA Concrete Tub from VAST Studio comes with an integrated overflow system installed in the tub body for a clean look with no external hardware. The fixture features metal accents like brass, copper or stainless steel – mixing sculptural design with an industrial edge. It is created with U.S.-sourced concrete, plaster and metal – materials that offer durability, thermal retention and wear resistance. The company’s concrete mix and casting techniques produce a lightweight concrete tub, and its material composition and internal structure make it easier for the fixture to be transported and installed. vaststudio.com
2025 Product Awards Kitchen Product of the Year: Hettich FurnSpin
A big hit at KBIS 2025, this year’s overall kitchen product winner – also the Functional Storage & Hardware victor – was also popular with our judges for its versatility, ease of use and reasonable price point. FurnSpin from Hettich allows cabinets to rotate, so they can either hide or reveal what’s inside with a simple tap. A balanced torque prevents movement of even the lightest objects during the “spin,” and popular applications are for storing delicate glasses and bottles in a bar area and concealing and accessing cluttered bathroom cabinets when guests are visiting.FurnSpin offers all the usual bells and whistles, including soft-close and push-to-open features, which supports handleless cabinet design. hettich.com/en-us/home
