Each collection features six distinctive door profiles complemented by a curated palette of eight paint colors and four wood finishes, offering designers and homeowners a versatile yet cohesive range of options. Consistent with all Unique Kitchens & Baths products, the cabinetry is designed and built in America and crafted from premium all-wood materials. Signature features include smooth, easy-to-clean finishes, dovetailed drawer boxes and soft-close glides, underscoring the brand’s commitment to quality and durability. 

Designer collaborations are an essential part of Unique Kitchens & Baths’ ongoing evolution. The company believes these collections give interior designers something truly theirs, offering pieces that reflect their unique aesthetic while maintaining the functionality and craftsmanship the brand is known for. 

“Typically, once a project is complete, designers have to say goodbye to that space. With a product line, they have something tangible to continue supporting and sharing over time,” says Tanya Smith-Shiflett, founder of Unique Kitchens & Baths. “These collections also allow designers to connect with a broader audience, including clients who may not hire a full-service designer but want to bring an element of that designer’s aesthetic into their home. Collaborations are an investment in both the designer and their brand. Kathy, Lindsay, and Stephanie are on incredible paths, making them a natural fit, and we were thrilled to continue our partnership with Jess for her second collection.” 

At Unique Kitchens & Baths, the mission has always been to create timeless kitchens designed to be lived in and loved for years to come. What began as a shared passion for thoughtful design and craftsmanship has grown into a nationally recognized kitchen and bath design studio and cabinetry manufacturer. Every cabinet is handcrafted in the USA with meticulous attention to detail. With a timeline of approximately 12 weeks from design approval to delivery, and complimentary blanket-wrapped shipping nationwide, the company makes fully custom cabinetry accessible to clients across the country. 

Kathy Kuo’s collection, Heirloom Cabinetry for the Gracious Home, is inspired by antique European craftsmanship, with traditional details thoughtfully reframed for modern living. Drawing from the refined silhouettes of historic doors and the layered elegance of storied interiors, the collection offers a fresh perspective on classic cabinetry. Each facade features subtle chamfers, graceful curves, and architectural beading, all while honoring the clean lines and quiet restraint that define timeless design.

The Heritage Collection by Lindsay Laine Home The Heritage Collection by Lindsay Laine Home is rooted in timeless craftsmanship and a belief that the most enduring design begins with how a space is lived in. Each profile was developed through our work in real homes, where form and function are considered together, creating pieces that are as useful as they are beautiful.

The Bespoke Legacy Collection is a thoughtfully refined cabinet collection by Stephanie Wiott, rooted in her signature balance of beauty and livability. This collection brings together softly nuanced color, classic door profiles, and enduring materials designed for real life. Inspired by the warmth of Midwestern homes, the romance of timeworn European tones, and the clarity of clean, functional design, each element was created to feel intentional, welcoming, and quietly luxurious.

In her second collection with the brand, Jess Weeth introduces a freestanding bathroom vanity line, expanding upon her existing collection, The Classic Coast. Jess’s freestanding vanity collection honors the details and craftsmanship of a bygone era. It builds on her first collection of door styles with considered, furniture-inspired detailing that brings charm and character. A chamfered edge, a perfectly scaled v-groove, the turn of a leg—these are the refinements that come to life in each piece. Every item has its own soul and can be personalized through an array of colors and finishes perfectly suited to the home.

The Grass Rear Anti-Tip System is engineered to ensure that only a single drawer can be opened at a time, locking the remaining drawers securely in place until the opened drawer is closed. This effective mechanical system employs a series of interconnected locking actuators mounted to a central spine at the back of the cabinet, guaranteeing a robust and reliable connection.

Constructed from a durable combination of plastic, aluminum and steel, the system eliminates the need for additional counterweights, thereby reducing shipping costs and maintaining the drawer’s original extension. Moreover, the Grass Anti-Tip System can be seamlessly integrated during the manufacturing process or retrofitted onto existing cabinetry, offering unmatched flexibility.

The system’s versatile component kit allows for a variety of mounting options, enabling custom installations. It is broadly compatible with undermount slides, soft-close slides and drawers without slides. The system efficiently mounts in the 31.75mm (1 ¼-in.) gap between the drawer box and the carcass. It offers flexible installation options, whether during or after cabinet fabrication, and can be used with or without the aluminum spine. The system can also be manually unlocked to allow for drawer removal if necessary and supports up to 50 pounds of pull force.

While the use of tip-over restraints may reduce the risk of tip-over, it does not eliminate it entirely. Proper adult supervision is essential, and heavy items should be placed in the lowest drawers.

At the core of Urban 45 is its signature mitered construction, featuring a 45-degree angle on all cabinet edges. This precise detailing creates clean, seamless corners that extend fluidly from front to side, resulting in a sculptural, architectural presence that distinguishes the collection within the luxury bath category.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, the introduction is part of Hastings’ broader Urban system which is a fully customizable suite of bathroom solutions that allows designers to create cohesive, highly personalized spaces. From vanities and storage to countertops, mirrors and accessories, each element functions as a modular component, providing nearly limitless configurations tailored to individual project needs.

Urban 45 offers an expansive range of materials and finishes, including real wood veneers, high-pressure laminates, porcelain, glass and solid surface options. Designers can further customize each piece with vertical or horizontal fluting, directional grain patterns and book-matched finishes, ensuring a cohesive and tailored aesthetic across the entire space.

Available as a standard height, low height or freestanding with three drawers, the collection accommodates both compact and expansive layouts, while integrated basin options and coordinated countertop materials streamline the design process. The result is a system that balances visual impact with everyday functionality which supports both creative expression and practical performance.

Leg-stand models will be unveiled later this year.

A Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation

Urban 45 exemplifies Hastings Bath Collection’s dedication to sustainability by utilizing eco-friendly materials and finishes that reduce environmental impact while maintaining a high level of design sophistication. By blending nature-inspired textures with contemporary geometric forms, Urban 45 fosters a sense of tranquility and balance in the bathroom environment.

When designing kitchens and baths, balancing accessible storage with high-end style is a constant challenge. Felicitas Lechner, marketing manager for Hettich America, recently shared insights on our “From the Tap” podcast into a product turning heads – and cabinets – in the industry. The FurnSpin was named the 2025 KBB Kitchen Product of the Year and completely redefines how we approach traditional cabinetry.

Evolving Beyond the Lazy Susan

Born from the success of Hettich’s appliance-focused ComfortSpin, the FurnSpin takes rotational storage to the next level. Instead of an internal spinning shelf sitting inside a static box, the entire cabinet body rotates 180 degrees on its own axis. With a simple push, closed storage effortlessly transforms into open shelving. This synchronized swivel movement eliminates the physical limitations of sliding, folding or hinged doors, helping designers maximize square footage in tight or uniquely shaped spaces.

Unmatched Aesthetic Versatility

From an aesthetic standpoint, the FurnSpin system offers total creative freedom. Because the hardware only requires attachments at the top and bottom of the unit, cabinet makers can build the rotating body out of nearly any material. As long as the unit has the freestanding clearance to swivel, it can seamlessly integrate into luxury projects.

A Bright Future for FurnSpin

For designers eager to see what is next, Hettich is preparing a new iteration that brings built-in brilliance to the mechanism. A forthcoming illuminated version will feature automatic lighting activated by the swivel motion, complete with completely concealed cable management for a flawless, modern finish.

KBB Product Awards

As Lechner noted, earning recognition through prestigious competitions like the KBB Product Awards plays a massive role in building brand trust and highlighting these industry-shifting innovations. The KBB Product Awards program celebrates excellence across people, projects and products, offering a platform for designers and manufacturers to showcase their most impactful ideas. For designers, awards like these signal best-in-class innovation and provide an ever-expanding toolkit to bring brilliant client visions to life.

The formal language of Franq is inspired by the sober, timeless elegance of Jean-Michel Frank, a key figure in 20th-century French design, known for his formal rigor and a vision of luxury that is never ostentatious. Solid, composed volumes, carefully calibrated proportions and essential geometries guide the concept behind the new collection. The lines are disciplined, the gestures controlled. The surfaces convey a sense of stability and calm, restoring to the bathroom an almost architectural dimension, at once intimate and reassuring. 

Materiality plays a central role in the project: the warmth of wood, the undisputed protagonist of the collection; the silky surface of Milltek, a synthetic composite chosen for basins and countertops; and the depth of lacquered finishes, developed in a sophisticated color palette, all contribute to defining a bathroom environment that goes beyond the idea of a purely functional space. 

With Franq, Noorth continues its exploration of an essential aesthetic for the contemporary bathroom, where design rigor and material sensitivity converge to shape a measured, intimate and timeless space.

The Mediterranean way of life stands for simplicity, care and connection, and so does the Ona Collection Respecting natural materials, it radiates this sentiment to each home and context anew, propagating connection and making the essence of the Mediterranean palpable. The simplicity of the new design from Roca plays a central role, perfectly evoking the organic authenticity of sea-facing culture.

In contemporary architectural design, the quality of space is increasingly measured by its ability to integrate different functions without compromising visual coherence. With Velia and Mira 45, Protekdesign expands its range of flush-to-wall closures, offering two systems conceived as design tools capable of turning functional surfaces and utility rooms into coherent parts of the architecture. Laundry rooms, pantries, cupboards, technical niches and hallways, often considered second-rate elements, thus become design opportunities, where closures are not superfluous, but work by subtraction, blending in with the wall and allowing the space to express itself in a unified, orderly and measured manner. 

Velia and Mira 45 fit into residential and contract contexts offering great freedom of composition, adapting to different geometries and complex configurations in which large flush-to-wall wardrobes, under-stair and attic spaces – even with irregular heights, thanks to the trapezoidal variant – find a solution that follows the architecture without forcing it. In particular, Velia is available as a modular system with up to eight doors, allowing for the creation of wardrobes that can reach 3 meters in height and exceed 5 meters in width, making them a true architectural surface rather than a simple closing element. The folding versions further expand the application possibilities, making the system suitable even for smaller spaces, where the bulk of a traditional hinged door would be restrictive. 

Protekdesign’s design approach is based on a discreet technique that does not invade the space but rather supports it, ensuring functional access to service compartments with its flush-to-wall closures while maintaining perfect visual continuity, thus becoming an integral part of the wall. In this context, Mira 45 represents a targeted response to the most complex technical requirements. The reduced 45-mm profile allows installation even where deeper frames cannot be used without compromising on sturdiness and clean lines. 

In this balance between technology and design, the surface also plays a central role in the dialogue with architecture. The panels, made of white melamine-faced chipboard with ABS edging, can be painted, coated or treated with decorative textures, offering designers the possibility to choose whether to make the closure completely camouflaged or transform it into a controlled graphic feature. For outdoor applications, the aluminum composite panel further expands the design possibilities, ensuring durability and consistency with the language of the architectural envelope.

The functional details follow the same design approach. The push-pull opening, supplied as standard, can be complemented by various handle and access solutions – Flip or Ray handles, round or square flush door pulls, up to an optional lock – leaving the designer in full control of the element’s visibility, depending on the context and overall concept. 

With Velia and Mira 45, Protekdesign confirms its vision that flush doors are not just a technical element, but rather an integral part of the architectural design — a solution for clean, seamless and orderly spaces, where every function has its place in harmony with the overall design.

The graceful taper of baluster-shaped spindles softens the design’s clean lines and face-framing trim, evoking antique stair spindles and 18th-century furniture. Its mid-century modern simplicity adds a contemporary feel, while the rich finishes, constructed of oak solids and veneers, provide warmth and an enduring, heirloom elegance. 

The Kinnsden from James Martin Vanities is available in sable oak and weathered oak finishes, and the 48- and 72-in. sizes feature a new hot tool organizer.

Wood-Mode has introduced The Curio Suite – a collection of freestanding, furniture-quality cabinets offered in a vast range of design options. With six initial styles, the product range includes coordinating vanities, medicine cabinets, linen cabinets, dressers and armoires.

Based on the concept of a curated lifestyle, the collection considers that humans instinctively shape their surroundings to meet their needs, suit their patterns and deliver desired experiences. Nowhere else is this more evident than in the home. Each dwelling is a thoughtful and intentional gathering of experiences, possessions and relationships.

For the modern homeowner, the curated lifestyle reflects a more soulful appreciation for one’s surroundings. It emphasizes quality over quantity. Prioritizes health and wellness, safety and sustainability. In this more purposeful lifestyle, the merits of functional design are met equally by the desire for authentic environments and an expression of individuality.

This thoughtful approach to placemaking drove the primary inspiration for The Curio Suite. For the discerning client that appreciates the quality and range of design options offered through custom cabinetry, The Curio Suite creates a cohesive design that can be drawn from the bath to the closet, other areas of a primary suite and beyond.

The introduction of The Curio Suite marks a significant benchmark in product development for the 84-year-old company. Wood-Mode customers have for many decades specified one-off furniture pieces as additions to their kitchen and bath design, desiring pieces for other areas of their home that reflect the same authentic craftsmanship and unmatched quality finishes found in each Wood-Mode cabinet. The Curio Suite brings together the most often requested accessories and furniture add-ons in a new product category. By standardizing these offerings, customers will see abridged lead times while dealers experience a simplified ordering process.  

With plans for expansion already in process, initial product models include vanities, linen cabinets, medicine cabinets, armoires, dressers and high boys. 

The Curio Suite launches with six initial designs — transitional Chateau, classic and grand Promenade, contemporary Urban, classic Manor I, flexible Manor II and midcentury Manor III. The suite can be outfitted with most Wood-Mode standard door styles.

The Provence Collection envisions the bathroom as an intimate sanctuary capable of translating classic inspirations into a contemporary, understated tone. In this harmonious fusion of tradition and modernity, every detail contributes to a warm and deeply personal atmosphere. 

Characterized by balanced, sophisticated proportions, Provence is distinguished by its signature bevel-edge fronts, an iconic feature that pays homage to traditional furniture making. The interplay between a clean outer frame and a finely detailed central panel lends the collection a minimalist yet expressive appearance that harmonizes naturally and elegantly with both classic and modern interiors. 

With an extensive selection of finishes, spanning from colored and wood-effect polymer to matte, glossy and metal color lacquers, the collection provides endless possibilities for bespoke design. This palette is further enhanced by new metal color  finishes — inox, nickel and grafite — which amplify the collection’s modern character and reflect a design philosophy that balances rigorous functionality with aesthetic excellence. 

The new Ideagroup collection offers extensive design flexibility, with three handle styles available in four distinct finishes — chrome, satin steel, satin gold and black— alongside a sleek push-pull opening system. For a more retro-inspired look, matching knobs in coordinated finishes are available to perfectly complement the collection’s design. 

Designed predominantly to be wall-mounted, Provence is also available with feet for enhanced versatility. These include the new sleek metal Plissé foot, available in 26-cm and 39-cm heights and offered in a choice of satin chrome, satin gold and black finishes. 

To enhance daily convenience, it includes a tilt-out laundry basket designed for 35-cm and 45-cm wide modules, and the Provence side towel rail. This minimalist accessory comes in a versatile 38-cm width and is offered in four finishes — chrome, satin steel, satin gold and black. 

To ensure a cohesive design language, the Provence Collection is further enriched by several new accessories, including four washbasins, five mirrors and three lamps.

Distinguished by a louvered façade and gently curved profile, the Allamari Collection showcases nautical-inspired architecture. Available in dune mist and sable finishes, the wood louvers feature a rich, wire-brushed texture and sleek, beveled brass knobs that are highlighted by wood back plates, providing a graphic focal point. 

The vanity is mounted above a motion-sensing LED-lit shelf with customizable settings, providing a floating effect. The Allamari Collection from James Martin Vanities was a Best of KBIS Awards Style Statement: Bath category finalist.
