Natural stones as islands of a stunning archipelago: Antolini® Village at KBIS 2025

The 2025 edition of KBIS is unveiled: starting February 25, Antolini®‘s finest natural stones will be on display in a new pavilion and showcased as islands forming an archipelago

Verona, Italy – North America’s premier Kitchen & Bath Industry Show – KBIS – will be opening in Las Vegas on the 25th of February and till the 27th the latest bathroom and kitchen products, trends and technologies will be showcased to architects, designers and customers.

Within this realm of excellence, Antolini® is featuring its best natural stones, ranging among the variants part of the Exclusive Collection, composed by 90 Natural Stones for which the company holds exclusive rights, the TEXTURES+ Collection, an innovative series of surface finishing processes, andthe Lady A Collection, a series of handcrafted rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings set with natural gemstones by Antolini®.

For the 2025 edition of the show, Antolini® will present a new exhibition concept designed by Alessandro La Spada. The pavilion – named Antolini® Village – will be organized as a journey through islands forming an archipelago; each island, which will host meeting spaces on the inside, will be ‘wrapped’ with Antolini®’s precious natural stones on the outside. The designer describes the project and its process as follows: “During a meeting with Alberto Antolini, CEO, the idea emerged to conceive the installation as a composition of independent elements, yet unified by a common denominator capable of delivering a harmonious and coherent vision of the project. From this concept, the idea of the “Village” took shape: a bifront structure that opens on one side with a welcoming gesture, while on the other side, it closes with a wall defining the boundary, marked by sculptural vertical elements. Inside, a series of small organic-shaped architectures (the rooms) form a seemingly random layout, creating pathways that gradually reveal surfaces clad with the exclusive Antolini® collections“.

For the 2025 edition of KBIS Antolini® presents a new exhibition concept designed by Alessandro La Spada. The pavilion interprets the theme of the “Village”: a composition of different elements – which at the inside host meeting rooms – unified by the presence of the best natural stones. Sculptural vertical elements ‘close’ the area, while showcasing precious natural stone walls.

Among the nine islands visitors will encounter unique spaces such as, for example, the Dover White® meeting room, as well as the Cipollino GreyWave and the Amazonite® ones. In detail, Dover White® by Antolini® is a marble part of the Exclusive Collection and it is defined by the delicate blend of milky-white and grey hues on its surface; Cipollino GreyWave marble, also part of the Exclusive Collection, shows on its surface the layers of Mother Nature’s history and, as third design option, Amazonite® is a quartzite formed by granite pegmatite, a rock created by different minerals which, placed side by side, create the shades that define the stone: turquoise, sea green, emerald green.
