By Elisa Fernández-Arias

At KBIS 2024, held in Las Vegas February 27 – February 29, kitchen and bath professionals gathered to see the latest industry innovations, products and trends; celebrate K&B’s rising stars and award winning designers; make new connections; and learn from experts on how to succeed and strengthen their businesses. The trade show floor brimmed with new solutions and technologies that will impact design, construction and homeowners’ overall experiences. 

Our choices for the top five new technologies at KBIS 2024:

Virtual Product Demonstrations by MIELE

Miele introduced virtual demonstrations of their products using the new Apple Vision Pro. The German appliance brand rolled out an augmented reality (AR) experience where users viewed a full scale 48-inch range and one of Miele’s new front-loading washing machines. The brand created an interactive experience with the headset where the user could “touch,” experiment with and learn more about each appliance. Miele will roll out the AR experience in their design centers across the country in the coming months.

AILA by THOMPSON

Conceptualized by Leslie Carothers, Principal at furniture, home decor and interior design digital marketing agency Savour Partnership, and created through her text prompt sent to Midjourney’s AI bot, the AILA sink was the first AI-designed sink available on the market, debuting at KBIS 2024. Handcrafted from solid copper, it was shaped by artisans in Santa Cobre, Mexico, who create products for Thomson using tools and techniques passed down from generation to generation since the 16th century. The AILA sink is a beautiful combination of time-tested traditional methods and the innovative technology of AI.

48 Inch Full Electronic Induction Range by FORZA

It’s offered with three new hardware and knob finishes: copper, gold and gun metal.
