The NKBA Global Connect Pavilion at KBIS Virtual 2021

The world of kitchens and baths just got better connected through NKBA Global Connect and its Kitchen + Bath Showcase which offers a window into  all things kitchen, bath and interior design trends, products and news from Europe and beyond. With so many of the major international trade shows having had to cancel this past year, North American designers and buyers were unable to get a real sense of new products, trends and innovations from Europe and around the world. Enter the NKBA Global Connect Kitchen + Bath Showcase which will feature talks, brand and product presentations on February 10 and 11 and on-demand until March 31, 2021. Take a look at the lineup below:

All times are Eastern Standard Time

The meaning of self-care expanded in 2020 inside and outside our homes. Three in four people (75%) expect brands to contribute to their wellbeing and quality of life.

Gudy Herder (Eclectic Trends) will address this trend lecture on Consumer Behavior 2021/22, addressing the new Care Economy and sharing a broad spectrum of creative industries.

By the end, you will

  • learn why self-care is not merely constrained to taking bubble baths and celebrating rituals
  • get insight on how to see care from a different perspective to connect with your consumer on a deeper level
  • understand why a corresponding color palette of care goes beyond neutral and pink hues
