Kitchen & Bath Business November/December 2022 - 29

WELCOME TO SOME NEWCOMERS
Linki is a first-time exhibitor to KBIS and is looking forward to
introducing its products to distributors in the North American
market. The brand will be highlighting its stainless-steel taps in
seven collections: Marble, IO (pictured), Kronos, Arrow, Insert,
Stylo and One. Visitors to the Linki booth will be able to see and
feel products that can be customized depending on the project.
When the owners launched Clerestory, a software as a service company,
they knew KBIS was going to be an integral part of their strategy
to introduce their offering to the market. The software program was
created with feedback from experienced designers to simplify the
kitchen and bath project proposal process. Clerestory offers more
than 100,000 products to its users and is designed to send reminders
to prevent a multitude of common designer errors that can occur.
" There is no better place than KBIS to have face-to-face interaction
with a huge group of our target demographic, " said Clerestory
president, Jason Klickna. " We anticipate demoing our product to as
many designers as we normally would over a two-month period. "
Visitors to the Clerestory booth can enjoy giveaways and a raffle
in which all entries will receive a free one-month trial subscription.
Another new exhibitor and product at KBIS 2023 is Dryer Drawer,
a unit that sits inside a cabinet drawer and dries dishes with a
small, quiet fan. This prevents counter clutter by drying dishes off
the countertop and eliminates the need to dry them by hand. The
Dryer Drawer is for those items like cutting boards that need to
be hand washed or frequently used items that are needed between
dishwasher cycles.
" KBIS was a great line in the sand; the finality of signing up to
exhibit gave us something concrete to drive toward when it came
to developing the product, " said Nic White-Petteruti, founder of
Dryer Drawer. " We will be featuring final operating prototypes
that represent the planned manufacturable product. They will be
featured both in situ in a drawer and available for closer examination/handling
to get a feel for the build. "
Lisa Jarvis Hardware is another new exhibitor to KBIS, and
owner Lisa Jarvis decided to participate because she feels it is the
best show available to our industry. She is most looking forward
to introducing her decorative hardware to new clients to enhance
their designs and seeing friends and fans of her offerings.
Buck Snort, a decorative hardware brand, is another new KBIS
exhibitor to the 2023 installment. The company's goal for attending
is to bring its 25-year-old brand to the next level by gaining clients
and expanding its business. Visitors to the booth will get to see and
learn about Buck Snort's collection of cabinet knobs and pulls,
doorbells, house numbers and clavos. The company will highlight
samples and showroom displays, including the new Lux Gold
finish. Offerings are made of solid-cast link and made in the USA.
