Putting the Design in Design & Construction Week™
For the first time ever, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), recognized exhibitors for innovative booth designs and displays with the KBIS Innovation Booth Awards. Known for its abundance of new products and cutting-edge designs, KBIS is also a destination for some of the most innovative booth and product display presentations in the residential design industry. Booths we’re judged on: WOW Factor, Messaging, Education, Engagement and “The Unexpected & Unprecedented”.
This year’s KBIS Innovation Booth Award winners are:
• First Place: Brizo (Booth N1927)
• Second Place (tied): Electrolux (Booth N3005) and Elmwood Fine Custom Cabinetry (N763)
• Third Place: Kohler (N2005)
“We’re honored to recognize these exhibitors for their hard work and creativity with their spaces at KBIS this year,” said Brian Pagel of Emerald Expositions, VP Kitchen and Bath. “It takes months of planning and hard work to create a booth design – from concept to the final build. It is the work of many who we honor with this first ever KBIS Innovation Booth Awards. We’re excited to see what concepts exhibitors will bring when we return to Las Vegas for KBIS 2015.”
Winners received a special award, presented at the announcement on Center Stage in the NKBA Booth on Wednesday, February 05, 2014 in conjunction with the Best of KBIS Award announcements. All winners will also be promoted on kbis.com and other KBIS digital media platforms.

Kitchen and bath brands that have participated in both shows can choose to exhibit in the KBIS or IBS hall. One pass will provide access to both exhibits.
