Las Vegas Kitchen & Bath Industry Show 2007

By Linda C. Lentz
July 1, 2007
Once largely national in scope, the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show has evolved into an influential international exposition. This May, a record-breaking 44,000 professionals filled three halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center to visit more than 1,000 exhibits representing the world’s top designers and manufacturers—including those from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. This migration of ideas resulted in a merging of European aesthetics and technologies with those from the U.S. - Linda C. Lentz

Italian industrial designer Matteo Thun’s Water Jewels bath suite comprises a sumptuous material mix including ceramic wall-hung vanities in several sizes that accommodate undercounter or countertop basins available in marble, ceramic, VitrA Solid polyester resin, wood, glass, and blue-enameled terra-cotta. Optional polyester resin or wood drain plates, pierced with floral or triangle patterns, add a touch of exotic charm. VitrA, Suwanee, Ga. www.vitra-usa.com

Available in stainless steel, white, and Wild Cherry red, the SteamWasher and SteamDryer clean and refresh clothing, rendering it virtually wrinkle free via the units’ generator-powered SteamFresh cycles that convert water to steam. Optional base drawers provide storage and height for easy access, while the company’s remote monitoring system keeps track of wash and dry status anywhere in a home.
