Overture at W1459

This year, Booth W1459, an expansive 60×50 showcase, unfolds like a finely scored composition. Cabinetry, color, texture, and sound come together in a single arrangement where nothing competes and everything harmonizes. Instead of isolated displays, the booth functions as a living playlist: each vignette hits its own note, transitions land smoothly, and the overall rhythm pulls you forward. Visitors can expect deeper storytelling, elevated design clarity, and innovation stepping confidently into the spotlight.

On Wednesday, February 18 from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM, we’ll be serving complimentary coffee, your warm prelude before entering the full performance.

Design in Perfect Pitch

Led by Creative Director Kerrie Kelly and developed in collaboration with top industry designers and Fabuwood Brand Ambassadors

  • Claire Staszak of Centered by Design

  • Beth Dotolo & Carolina Gentry of Pulp Design Studios

  • Nikki Levy

This year’s booth explores a wide spectrum of aesthetics, from refined modern compositions to elevated luxury ballads.

Each environment reveals new ways to interpret semi-custom cabinetry through layered finishes, purposeful detailing, and enduring performance. These rooms don’t just show design; they orchestrate it, offering cues, contrasts, and crescendos that unfold with intention.

Guided Tours

On Tuesday, February 17, we open the floor for Guided Designer Tours, 30-minute walkthroughs led by the very designers who shaped each vignette. These intimate sessions unpack intent, expose the hidden layers, and reveal the design logic behind every choice.

Sip, Flip, Repeat

On Wednesday, 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM, Sip & Flip takes the stage, a rapid-fire, conversational session where Kerrie Kelly and Brand Ambassadors break down product insights, trend patterns, and the creative impulses shaping the next movement in design. It’s part panel, part jam session, fully energizing.

The Sound of Home

So come ready to listen, look closer, and stay a little longer.

Let the rhythm pull you in. Let the design show you something new.

And when you walk away, may the inspiration echo long after the final note.
