Orlando, FL - KBIS 2026 - Beyond the award itself, Fabuwood’s KBIS presence delivered a layered, immersive experience that showcased the brand’s breadth from accessible value-driven collections to upscale, design-forward offerings. Fabuwood reinforced the company’s role as a major player in modern cabinetry.
An Immersive, Multi‑Dimensional Booth Experience Fabuwood’s large booth footprint at KBIS 2026 was conceived as a sequence of distinct but interconnected environments, each designed to demonstrate how cabinetry can shape the lived experience of a kitchen or bath. Under the creative direction of Kerrie Kelly, NKBA, FASID, the space balanced theatrical moments with practical vignettes:
- Signature Vignettes: Multiple full‑scale kitchen vignettes illustrated how different Fabuwood Kitchens collections perform in real settings: a contemporary open‑plan chef’s kitchen, a warm transitional family hub, a compact urban kitchenette, and a luxe entertaining island showcasing Plain & Fancy custom finishes. Each vignette emphasized layout flow, storage solutions, and finish coordination.
- Material and Finish Studio: A tactile area invited attendees to handle door samples, drawer box materials, hardware finishes, and integrated storage components. Curated finish palettes highlighted trending textures, matte lacquers, textured woods, and engineered veneers, and allowed designers to visualize combinations.
- Technology and Performance Corner: Interactive demonstrations showed soft‑close and full‑extension hardware, cabinet organization systems, adjustable shelving innovations, and integrated lighting solutions. Digital displays illustrated cabinet construction details, warranty information, and pricing tiers across Fabuwood’s portfolio.
- Brand Story & Collaboration Zone: A storytelling gallery chronicled Fabuwood’s evolution and its partnership with Plain & Fancy, combining archival imagery, design sketches, and finished installations that underscored the company’s dual focus on accessible collections and high‑end custom possibilities.
Design Direction and Execution
The booth's overall staging created a narrative arc from inspiration to specification. Neutral backdrops, layered textures, and carefully placed lighting put cabinetry finishes at center stage while maintaining cohesive sightlines across the large footprint. The design team used a mix of warm wood tones and contemporary neutrals to demonstrate cross‑style flexibility, and strategically positioned open shelving, integrated appliances, and mixed‑material islands to show how Fabuwood cabinetry supports modern living.
Kerrie Kelly’s leadership was cited by Fabuwood as central to the booth’s concept and execution. The brand also credited its Brand Ambassadors for bringing energy and expertise to every corner of the exhibit, greeting designers, builders, dealers, and media with live demonstrations, specification guidance, and deep product knowledge.
Plain & Fancy Collaboration in Focus Fabuwood’s KBIS presentation prominently featured a collaboration with Plain & Fancy, spotlighting higher‑end cabinetry possibilities within the Fabuwood platform. The Plain & Fancy area offered elevated door styles, custom finish processes, and unique millwork that illustrated how Fabuwood’s manufacturing and distribution capabilities can support boutique, design‑forward executions for higher‑end residential projects.
Products and Product Lines Highlighted Across the booth, attendees saw an array of Fabuwood Kitchens offerings designed to address different budget levels and design goals:
- Value and Transitional Lines: Cost‑effective framed and frameless options engineered for efficient manufacturing without sacrificing durable construction, consistent finishes, and contemporary hardware choices.
- Mid‑Market Collections: Versatile silhouettes and finish options aimed at designers seeking balance between stylistic flexibility and performance.
- Design‑Forward and Custom‑Adjacent Options: Door profiles, architectural millwork, and finish techniques suitable for high‑end projects, including offerings shown in the Plain & Fancy collaboration space.

Sustainability, Manufacturing, and Quality Messaging
The booth also conveyed Fabuwood’s manufacturing scale and quality controls. Information stations provided insight into construction methods, material sourcing, and finish application processes. Sustainability messaging emphasized responsible material use, reduction of waste in manufacturing processes, and durable construction that extends product life cycles — points of interest for environmentally conscious specifiers and homeowners.
