It’s that time of the year again where all bathroom and kitchen enthusiasts gather to experience new innovation from different world-renowned brands.
WHAT IS KBB BIRMINGHAM EXHIBITION 2020?
The KBB (or Kitchen Bedroom Bathroom) Birmingham Exhibition is a biennial event focused on showcasing the latest product launches from over 400 international brand exhibitors and honour technological advances with the Innovation Award winners.
This year, a few measures took place for the health and safety of the visitors, customers, and colleagues due to the rise of the COVID-19 threat. Participants from China are given their exclusive online digital pavilion; this is to follow all safety advice from the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as well as the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Not to worry, the exhibition went flawlessly closing doors from the 4-day event started last March 1 with a whopping 16,000 participants and 400 Exhibitors estimated.
As a fellow bathroom enthusiast, we could not resist to list up our favourite picks from the exhibition so here are our favourite bathroom highlights:
