PEOPLE & PLACES

Snaidero

LAUFEN has joined DIFFA's Specify with Care program and will support the
foundation with a donation when its award-winning ILBAGNOALESSI One
ceramic washbasin is specified. This award-winning ensemble is the creation of Italian designer, Stefano Giovannoni, in cooperation with Alessi
and LAUFEN.

The Elle kitchen from Snaidero has been granted a GOOD DESIGN
Award from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.
The Elle kitchen, which premiered at Eurocucina 2014, was selected out of
thousands of product design and graphic submissions from the world's
leading manufacturers and design firms representing more than 48 countries. Elle was designed by Monica Armani and is a concept that derives
from an architectonic study that allows for various layout solutions through
a series of dedicated and innovative components.

The National Tile Contractors
Association (NTCA) and the
Ceramic Tile Educational Foundation (CTEF) were heavily involved at The International Surface Event (TISE) earlier this year.
The NTCA conducted three days
of on-floor tile installation demonstrations, which were free for
registered guests to attend and
were conducted by NTCA trainers Gerald Sloan and Michael Whistler.
CTEF staff also brought their expertise to the stage in a series of tile installation certifications. Attendees were able to watch tile installers being tested
regarding their knowledge and ability to install tile correctly the first time in
both wet and dry areas.
Tile Redi's Center Trench was
awarded "Best of Bath Products"
at the International Builders'
Show (IBS). Center Trench is a
centrally located, linear drain integrated right into the shower
pan and is ideal for new construction or renovations when
the existing drain is positioned in
a centralized location. Decided
on by a panel of independent judges made up of attending reporters and
building professionals, the awards were given in eight categories, plus an
overall Best in Show award.
