Luxury Meets Texture

 

Whenever we go to the International Builder’s Show, we are wowed by some show stopping pieces. This year was all about color, detail, and most of all, texture. From a crocodile leather paneled refrigerator, to old school Kohler colors, this year was one for the books. Here are a few of our favorites.

1. At first glance, the JennAir Leather Refrigerator captivates with its unparalleled elegance. Wrapped in supple, genuine leather, this hand crafted piece will transform any kitchen. It truely is a unique work of art. Beyond its aesthetics, the JennAir Leather Refrigerator includes innovative features designed to enhance your culinary experience by using The Precision Temperature Management™. This system ensures that each compartment maintains the perfect environment for different types of food, from crisp fruits and vegetables to delicate dairy and meats.

2. Did we mention texture? Vigo has long been a respected brand for sinks, but this year’s introduction of their cypress collection is stunning. Merging concrete with sustainable materials, it offers exceptional durability surpassing ceramic or fireclay sinks. Designed for hassle-free maintenance, the VIGO Cypress Concreto Stone Vessel Sink is resistant to stains, scratches, and fading, ensuring long-lasting beauty and performance. Its non-porous surface repels water and prevents the buildup of grime and bacteria, making cleaning a breeze. Simply wipe it down with a mild soap and water solution to keep it looking pristine for years to come.

3. Pops of color were everywhere this year but one stood out! Rooted in a legacy of innovation and quality, this family owned brand, Kohler, has been synonymous with exceptional design and craftsmanship for over a century. The Heritage Colors collection pays homage to Kohler's rich history while embracing contemporary trends, offering a range of classic hues reimagined for the modern home. Teal, with its deep, saturated tones and subtle hints of blue and green, embodies the perfect balance of sophistication and serenity, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to create a refined and inviting bathroom retreat.

4. Antolini offers an extensive selection of the world's most exquisite natural stones, sourced from quarries spanning the globe. From classic marbles and granites to rare and exotic stones, each slab is meticulously curated to showcase the unique beauty and character of the material. The company utilizes state-of-the-art machinery and cutting-edge techniques to transform raw stone into works of art, while preserving the inherent beauty and integrity of each slab. Antolini's patented Azerocare® process enhances the natural properties of stone, making it more resistant to staining, etching, and scratching, without altering its appearance or texture.

5. With its timeless aesthetic and enduring appeal, the Brizo Frank Lloyd Wright Collection transcends trends and fads, offering a timeless elegance that never goes out of style. Whether adorning a contemporary kitchen or a classic bathroom, these fixtures serve as focal points that elevate the entire space, creating an atmosphere of refined luxury and sophistication.
