Welcome to the May edition of the KBDi eMag.
Knowing future trends and styles for designers is one of the most important tools in their kitbag to set themselves apart from the crowd. And when it is possible to bring together Australia’s leading designers with the insights from recent iSalone Milan 2014 (incorporating Eurocucina and Internazionale del Bagno), the presentation will not only inform but inspire the designer to greater heights in their work.
‘Australian Kitchen Designer of the Year 2013’, Lee Hardcastle, just returned from Milan will share insights and highlights from the world’s largest interior design fair at the KBDi evenings in each State throughout May. Enjoy the fine hospitality of KBDi Diamond Sponsor, SMEG, as this multi-award winning designer takes you on a journey to iSalone Milan. In his overview of the extraordinary kitchen and bathroom expo, Lee will discuss the ways in which the international style and trend forecasts can be applied to Australian design.
In addition, Sydney-siders can also enjoy the insights of KBDi ‘Australian Bathroom Designer of the Year 2013’, Darren Genner, and Victorians will no doubt enjoy the perspective of KBDi ‘Australian Certified Designer of the Year 2013, Royston Wilson.
SMEG will be presenting the latest appliance news from iSalone’s FTK. Find out what we can expect to see in the kitchen in the coming years, and how this Italian company continues to lead the field in aesthetics, innovation and product quality.
