Many of the products on display at the Kitchen/Bath Industry Show in Chicago featured higher-end yet affordable designs and new finishes.
Models carrying faucets danced on a runway. An internationally renowned fashion stylist performed makeovers. Refrigerators, lavatories, toilets and shower doors sported artistic designs. Water splashed in or spurted from jetted tubs, assorted showerheads and a wide array of faucets. Agile acrobats performed stunts combining the grace of a dancer with the daring of a circus performer from high above product displays. The 2004 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show held at Chicago's McCormick Place April 1-4 provided attendees with a provocative preview of products created to bring beauty and functionality into homes and businesses.
In Part I of our K/BIS coverage, we will look at some of the new products unveiled at the show.
