1. Castello USA Tub

The color and the translucent nature of this tub drew me in. I was so pleasantly surprised that this tub can be specified in any color and is made out of Corian material.

2. Monogram showroom

Every little detail about the Monogram show space was absolutely amazing. The textures and tones of the space were beautiful. Every detail was noticeable just like this custom refrigerator panel door. Love how it incorporated natural elements and brought a warm Biophilic design aspect to kitchen design.

3. LG Styler

The LG Steamer is an absolute life saver and a must in every home. It’s like having your own personal dry-cleaners, helping you steam, dry and sanitize clothes right in the comfort of your home.

7 Angel guard Cookware

When I heard that there would be a Kickstarter section, I knew I had to check it out as I have published a children’s book with the help of Kickstarter a few years back. Always happy to support new brands and this one spoke to my heart as it is designed to protect kids by securing the pots to the stove top. Amazing, right?

8 qm drain

The thin lines and beauty of these drains caught my eye. Small details in a space can certainly make or break a space and these functional yet good looking pieces will make the space look seamless.

9 tech lighting

This lighting collection of acrylic LED panels would look great in so many different spaces. The moment I saw these light fixtures I started thinking about what project to use them for. I love their organic shape and form.

10 valiryo

Of course I had to visit the Wellness pavillion and that’s where I found Valiryo body dryer. How great would this be in a spa setting or gym? No need for those tiny gym towels, right? Maybe just a robe from Mr. Steam :).

that’s a wrap
