For kitchen and bathroom-focused businesses, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, or KBIS, is a highly-anticipated event year after year. As North America’s largest kitchen and bath trade show, KBIS is a huge resource for gathering inspiration, networking and learning all about whats new and next in the industry. With nearly 700 exhibitors showcasing their latest and greatest, these 12 launches caught our eye as the best of the best.
Artistic Tile x Donghia
Donghia x Artistic Tile Casino Smoke
Unsurprisingly, the marriage between two design mavens yields a gorgeous product in the form of the Artistic Tile and Donghia collaboration. Donghia’s mastery of patterns combines with Artistic Tile’s breadth of stone craft expertise for a graphic, striking collaboration of mosaic tiles. We particularly love the Casino Royale collection, which reimagines one of Donghia’s signature textiles.
Kohler - KALLISTA
KALLISTA’s stunning stone tub crafted from Rosso Levanto marble
A subsidiary of Kohler, KALLISTA’s newest was in good company, as Kohler’s award-winning booth was jaw-dropping from every angle. Despite all the eye candy, we were most drawn to KALLISTA’s stunning stone tub crafted from Rosso Levanto marble. Complete with an on-trend yet timeless burgundy hue, stunning veining, rounded square contours and a freestanding profile, this piece is worth designing an entire bathroom around. Bonus points if you pair it with Ann Sack’s new Orin marble mosaic tile, launching in showrooms this month.

Porcelanosa - XTONE
XTONE's Amazonite is powered by the new Comet and Core technologies
After nearly a decade-long hiatus, XTONE returned to KBIS to present seven new designs and six new technologies. We love the new Amazonite design for its turquoise hues and greyish incursions powered by the new Comet and Core technologies, which consist of varied-intensity particles on the surface and porcelain and decorative particles pressed together for added depth.
