KBIS 2023 – Viva Las Vegas!

We’ve just returned from another epic trip to the US where we attended the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show 2023 at the Las Vegas convention centre. There was added excitement this year as we embraced our first-ever solo booth to exhibit our full US range of outdoor kitchens, which included some special new additions! 

Read on to hear about this year’s adventure and how Vlaze is continuing to take the US by storm! 

Day 1 

We were honoured to be selected to exhibit in the prestigious ICCF pavilion alongside the best of contemporary kitchen and bathroom design. The team did a great job setting up our solo stand (N1370) and we literally and figuratively flew the flag for Britain. A Union Jack flew proudly alongside our range of British crafted outdoor kitchens which gleamed enticingly under the conference centre lights.  

Our signature ochre yellow and our new quilted graphite finishes once again took centre stage and drew in the crowds. We also debuted our ADAPT 120 unit, perfect for smaller spaces, and our new construction corner piece which helps to create a truly connected, modular kitchen set-up. 

Day 2 

Our energy levels were still high going into the second day despite a lot of exertion already. We certainly had enough in the tank to demo the free moving and modular qualities of our units and take them for a spin!  

Just like the first day, wave after wave of people entered the convention centre and we are happy to report that the stand was rammed from opening to closing. 

Day 3 

The final day had a celebratory feel with the team offering visitors Mermaid Gin from the sunny Isle of Wight and Fortnum & Masons tea – a real British classic! 

We were joined by Blogger, Designer & Builder Jordan Smith who enjoyed a G&T while sharing his thoughts about our Vlaze units. Click here to watch what he had to say!

If you are more partial to Tea than G&T, you can learn about our past collaboration with Fortnum & Mason’s new shop and tea salon at St Pancras International Station, London by clicking here. 

This year’s show had its best turnout ever with over 100k visitors through the door and we were absolutely delighted to meet and chat to so many of you.  

Vlaze x Pheonix Arizona 

It was a real treat to squeeze in a visit to @lifewithmin at their beautiful new Phoenix home complete with Ochre Adapt 240 with @firemagicgrills and Adapt Island outdoor kitchen units. It’s always wonderful seeing Vlaze units transform an outdoor space and bringing so much joy! There’s no doubt that porcelain enamel is the ideal surface finish for the Arizonan climate being able to withstand heat and bright sunshine with ease. They look fabulous in this stunning space – thank you again for having us!
