At this fall’s High Point Market, the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) unveiled its first-ever long-term presence at the North Carolina–based home furnishings show with a dedicated space in Broad Hall. The opportunity for a long-term installation at High Point Market was first presented to NKBA by Cosentino, which also debuted its own long-term showroom experience neighboring the NKBA space at this year’s Market. Together, the new Broad Hall exhibition areas mark a significant milestone — both for the kitchen and bath industry and for the Market’s continued evolution as a whole-home design destination.

Designed by Kerrie Kelly, NKBA Board Member and CEO & Creative Director of Kerrie Kelly Studio, the immersive space exhibits full-scale kitchen and bath vignettes highlighting sought-after brands such as Kichler Lighting, James Martin Vanities, Ferguson Home, Sherwin-Williams, Miele, FreePower, Fabuwood, BlueStar, and Signature Hardware.

Cosentino’s neighboring space invites visitors to seamlessly explore both destinations. This season, the brand displayed a variety of its latest product innovations, including its new Le Chic Bohème collection, the Zoe TOP Sink, and a range of ready-to-ship trays, sinks, and more. Also on-site is the global brand’s Atelier Design Workshop—built in collaboration with Fabuwood Cabinetry. It is designed to serve as a creative and educational hub for Cosentino’s Trade Outreach Program.

In addition to its expansive interiors, Broad Hall’s footprint extends to the outdoors, where Dekton flooring, Feeney railings, an Azenco pergola, and an Urban Bonfire x True Caliber outdoor kitchen stand as a stunning showcase of outdoor living — and formed the setting for five days of daily panels, gatherings, and immersive programming. The Urban Bonfire x Dekton Collection, created with Cosentino, integrated Dekton cladding such as the fluted Dekton Ukiyo (by designer Claudia Afshar) and the sleek Dekton Slim, both paired with marine-grade aluminum cabinetry. Meanwhile, the Urban Bonfire x True Caliber Collection introduced three social-cooking layouts built around the Rockwell Social Grill, featuring True Caliber’s vibrant finishes and True Residential’s glass and panel refrigeration configurations.

Broad Hall now serves as a dynamic new destination for High Point Market attendees, strengthening the market’s commitment to providing whole-home innovation while presenting what’s next in luxury design.
