When the 2019 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) opens February 19 – 21, 2019, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, attendees will be treated to an exciting new feature, Salon by KBIS – a tented exhibit space conveniently located outside the South Hall. Salon by KBIS will open daily at 8 a.m. and includes:
The popular Design Milk X Modenus Talks Lounge. Back as the platform for conversations among industry insiders, influencers and design VIPs, the #DMMTalks Lounge will feature three days of programming with talks on design business, current events and industry initiatives, plus follow-up conversations on select KBISNeXT Stage panel discussions.
KBIS Edit. Exclusive, design-forward brands curated and promoted by Modenus and Design Milk will be showcased in a boutique setting. This invitation-only space will focus on small-batch production, international luxury brands and bespoke manufacturers and artisans in and around the kitchen and bath.
In partnership with the American Lighting Association, Dallas Market Center’s Lightovation comes to KBIS for the first time in the Lightovation Lounge, an illuminating area under the Salon tent. Lightovation Lounge will host an interactive virtual reality experience that transports attendees to the largest residential lighting show in North America, plus two days of lighting-related programming by industry experts.
“Salon by KBIS is a wonderful addition to the 2019 show and expands our ability to spotlight the ever-evolving brands in the kitchen and bath industry,” said Brian Pagel, senior vice president, Emerald Expositions. “This unique space is a true reflection of the forward momentum of KBIS and our industry.”
Here are just a few of the special brands exhibiting under the tent:
- Hastings Tile & Bath. A leading importer of contemporary European bathroom fixtures, vanities and tile and the exclusive importer/distributor of the iconic VOLA faucet, a favorite of architects and designers
- Francois & Co. Maker of carefully crafted fireplace mantles, range hoods and flooring surfaces that reflect the company’s commitment to authenticity, ingenuity and scrupulous attention to detail
- ALFA Ovens. This is an Italian company known for continuous innovation and traditional roots evident in every oven produced, from making their own bricks to the company’s patented flue design
“Salon by KBIS provides the ideal setting for the vibrant and inviting #DMMTalks Lounge as well as the introduction of unique and special KBIS Edit brands,” said Veronika Miller, Modenus Media CEO. “We can’t wait for KBIS attendees to find inspiration in this dynamic, ultra-interesting space.”
