The inaugural Kitchen + Bath Show made its grand debut at the ICC Sydney from 13-15 June 2024, marking a significant milestone as Australia’s only design trade show dedicated exclusively to the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and home storage industries. 

A Powerhouse Trio of Events 

The Kitchen + Bath Show was held alongside the ArchiBuild Expo and Design Show Australia, forming a powerhouse trio of events that brought together manufacturers, distributors, retailers, cabinet makers, joiners, designers, architects, fit-out specialists, and building professionals under one roof. This collaboration created an unparalleled environment for networking, learning, and discovering the latest industry trends. 

A Diverse Range of Products and Innovations 

The show was a vibrant marketplace where thousands of trade industry professionals and consumers explored cutting-edge products and innovative solutions. Attendees had the unique opportunity to engage with exhibitors, learn about the newest advancements, and gain insights into future trends that will shape the kitchen and bath spaces. 

Castella: A Highlight of the Show 

Our stand attracted thousands of visitors eager to explore our latest collections. From an Australian-first launch to showcasing one of our most luxurious collections yet, here’s what you missed:

• Launch of the Hydrowood Collection: We officially unveiled our Hydrowood collection, an innovative range of door hardware crafted from sustainably sourced Tasmanian Hydrowood that remained disused in the Tarkine lake for over 30 years. Designed and made in Tasmania, this collection is an extraordinary example of environmental design and Australian innovation. Each piece represents an incredible story – one that you can now hold in your hands. To read more, check out this article published by Design Show editors.
