The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) hosted the 10th anniversary edition of DesignBites, its annual ultimate product showdown, with top brands going head to head to showcase the latest product innovations and designs in the kitchen and bath marketplace.
Eleven exhibiting brands competed to highlight their best new offerings in a fast-paced presentation for the winning titles of “Brand with the Biggest Bite” and “People’s Pick.” DesignBites was hosted by “The Dancing Carpenter” Darren Keefe, on NEXTStage on Feb. 25, 2025.
After carefully hearing every pitch from BlueStar, Blum, Brondell, Daltile, Empava, EMTEK, LG Electronics, Midea, MOEN, Potty Sniffer by JEMSMART, and Signature Kitchen Suite (SKS), this year’s panel of VIP judges awarded the coveted title of “Brand with the Biggest Bite,” and the crowd had the chance to get in on the action by live voting for the “People’s Pick” award. The panel of judges were a network of interior, kitchen, and bath design industry professionals including Alison Victoria, Interior Designer, John McClain, Interior Designer, and Sarah Robertson, Interior Designer.
And the 2025 winners are:
- Brand with the Biggest Bite – 48” Induction Range BY BlueStar
