Cosentino Partners with NKBA at High Point Market
HIGH POINT, NC -- At High Point Spring Market, Cosentino returned for The Spring Edit in partnership with the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) -- a design hub at Broad Hall showcasing the latest in kitchen, bath and outdoor design. Building on its debut at Market last fall, the refreshed space offered a garden-inspired immersive experience, blending curated vignettes, product displays and designer-led programming that explored the future of the home.
Within the space, Cosentino’s latest innovations were integrated throughout displays and vignettes, highlighting how materials continue to evolve alongside the needs of modern living. Among the introductions were ÉCLOS, the brand’s newest mineral surface category known for its dimensional design, alongside Sensa by Cosentino®, Dekton® Amazonik and expanded offerings for the bath, such as Zoe TOP sinks and ready-to-ship bathroom solutions. Additionally, Cosentino brand collaborations were on display with partners including James Martin Vanities, FreePower, BlueStar, Fabuwood and Urban Bonfire.
That same theme carried throughout the weekend’s programming. During Invisible Luxury: How Hidden Technology and Premium Materials Are Redefining the Bath, presented in collaboration with House Beautiful, panelists explored how functionality is becoming increasingly integrated into the design itself. Moderated by Carisha Swanson, director of editorial special projects, House Beautiful, the conversation brought together Mikel Welch, Mikel Welch Interiors + Lifestyle; Kelly Collier Clark, House of Clark Interiors; Pam Durkin, president, James Martin Vanities; and Jake Slatnick, CEO and founder, FreePower.
Outdoor living emerged as another key focus throughout the programming. In Open-Air Living: Designing the Ultimate Outdoor Experience, moderated by Andrea Lillo, executive editor, Designers Today, designers, including Alena Capra, Alena Capra Designs, and Stephanie Larsen, Stephanie Larsen Interior Design, joined Cosentino partner Urban Bonfire to discuss how outdoor spaces are increasingly being designed to be true extensions of the home. The conversation emphasized durability, climate adaptability and cohesive materiality, with surfaces like Dekton® supporting applications across a range of environments while maintaining a consistent design language.
Additional conversations throughout the weekend continued to explore how design is evolving to support the way people live today. During The New Luxury: Designing for Daily Wellness, presented in collaboration with LUXE Interiors + Design and moderated by Kate Kelly Smith, EVP, Industry Relations at Sandow, Arianne Bellizaire of Arianne Bellizaire Interiors shared insights on how she approaches wellness-driven design.
As High Point Market continues to evolve, Broad Hall is solidifying the space as a must-see destination for complete home design beyond furniture. Through the combination of diverse product applications, compelling programming, and integrated partnerships, Cosentino continues to show up as a valued resource for designers.
