KBIS 2026 was a masterclass in what happens when vision meets collaboration. We were honored to take home the Best Large Booth award, the real magic happened in the synergy between our cabinetry and our world-class partners.
From award-winning custom artistry to the latest in kitchen tech, here is how the industry’s finest presented their latest innovations and integrated Fabuwood into their vision.
Plain & Fancy
As Fabuwood’s custom cabinetry solution, Plain & Fancy set a high bar, walking away with two prestigious awards: Best Cabinetry Booth and Best Medium Booth. Their space, designed by Julee Ireland, remained at capacity throughout the show, proving that high-end customization is always the main attraction.
The craftsmanship was captivating, featuring the rich Walnut Thicket finish and Ireland’s stunning "barrel-top" arched cabinetry. The level of detail, from Hawa pocket doors revealing hidden coffee stations to automated Spice Drop and FurnSpin technology, was so high that attendees were frequently found filming mini-documentaries and podcasts right in the booth. It wasn't just a display; it was a testament to the "wow" moments created when specialized storage meets architectural presence.
JennAir – Contrast is a Virtue
We were proud to be the cabinetry of choice for JennAir, featured in two breathtaking kitchens designed by our Creative Director, Kerrie Kelly.
In the JennAir booth, Kerrie’s vision pushed the boundaries of luxury through two distinct narratives:
The Daring Kitchen:
A celebration of color, where JennAir appliances popped against a bold "Grape Harvest" palette.
The Ethereal Kitchen:
A "No Kitchen Kitchen" concept where integrated appliances receded into a soft composition of pale Fabuwood cabinetry.
Hafele & Kichler – The Brilliance in the Details
A kitchen is only as good as its functionality and its feel. To bring our KBIS booth to life, we turned to Hafele and Kichler.
Hafele’s industry-leading organizational solutions turned every drawer into a masterclass in efficiency, proving that true luxury is found in how a space works for the user. Above it all, Kichler provided the literal glow, with lighting designs that accentuated the textures of our finishes and the clean lines of our cabinetry. Together, they ensured that our "Best Large Booth" win was as functional as it was beautiful.
Blanco & Sharp – The Ultimate Prep Performance
In our main booth, we showcased the peak of kitchen utility with Blanco and Sharp. Blanco’s integrated unit solutions, combining sinks, faucets, and organizational accessories, showed how the "water hub" can be the most stylish part of the home. Complementing this were the sleek, high-tech appliances from Sharp, which integrated seamlessly into our cabinetry to provide a flush, modern look that defines the contemporary kitchen.
Beyond the Booth: Feeney and the Luxury Lounge
The Fabuwood presence extended far beyond our own footprint. Our cabinetry was a featured element in the Feeney booth, demonstrating how our products pair with architectural building materials for a cohesive home aesthetic.
Perhaps most exclusive was our inclusion in the KBIS Luxury Lounge. Here, industry leaders gathered in a space defined by high-end design, with Fabuwood providing the sophisticated backdrop for the show’s most influential conversations.
FreePower – Leading the Charge
The show marked a major milestone as we joined forces with FreePower to unveil the InFocus Drawer. This new drawer integrates wireless charging directly into the cabinetry, turning "dead space" into an integrated Qi-enabled charging halo. The industry recognized FreePower's market impact with the Best of KBIS Gold Award for Game-Changing Innovation.
Consentino – Top of the Morning
A kitchen's strength begins with the surfaces that ground it. Our partnership with Cosentino brought a literal "Style Statement" to our displays. With the Sensa Expanded Quartzite Collection, which took home the Gold for Style Statement, Cosentino showcased how sustainable materials like Éclos and Dekton elevate cabinetry into a design centerpiece.
To our partners: Thank you for the incredible collaboration. KBIS 2026 proved that when the top brands in the industry work together, the result is a movement. We’re already looking forward to what we’ll build together next.
