For the second year, 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 were judged on: WOW Factor, Messaging, Education, Engagement and “The Unexpected & Unprecedented”.
The KBIS 2015 Innovation Booth Award winners are:
- First Place: Aquabrass, booth #N672
- Second Place: WilsonArt, booth #2149
- Third Place: Thompson Traders, booth #N819
“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 the KBIS Innovation Booth Awards. We’re excited to see what concepts exhibitors will bring when we return to Las Vegas for KBIS 2016.”
Winners received a special award, presented at the announcement on Center Stage in the NKBA Booth on Tuesday, January 21, 2015 at 11:30AM in conjunction with the Best of KBIS Award announcements. All winners will also be promoted on kbis.com and other KBIS digital media platforms.
