Every February, thousands from the design industry descend on the expansive Las Vegas Convention Center for the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), an annual trade show that showcases the best new products, innovations and trends. The show is owned by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) and produced by Emerald Expositions, and welcomes interior and product designers, architects, industry brands and dealers and builders, contractors and editors alike.This year, it seems, more and more brands are catering to interior designers and collaborating with traditionally interiors-driven companies. Think textiles titans Cowtan & Tout and Donghia. Its the latters collection with Artistic Tile that allowed audience members to see firsthand how a classic textile design can be translated into a different surface material such as tile.Courtesy KohlerIn the Donghia x Artistic Tile presentation, an indoor arabesque pool concept showcases Casino Royale, shown in Belgian Bluestone, is stocked in three distinctive colorways and features natural stone and tesserae mosaic.As a first-time attendee myself, it is impressive to see the kitchen, design and renovation business booming and track trends in real time.
