Beyond Beauty: Look Deeper - KBIS 2026 Recap

KBIS 2026 gave us a chance to bring a simple idea to life: Beyond Beauty. Look Deeper. Because today, surfaces aren’t just a finishing touch — they’re expected to perform across more spaces, more applications, and be more design intentional than ever.

The team gathered in Orlando, with designers, architects, fabricators, and industry partners to share what’s next for Caesarstone — through new material innovation, expanded formats, and the conversations that help move the industry forward.

Key highlights from the show.

INNOVATION: Caesarstone ICON™ named “Most Innovative” at KBIS Innovation Hour

During KBIS’ inaugural Innovation Hour, Caesarstone ICON™ was recognized with the title of “Most Innovative.”

To earn this title, our product design director Mor Krisher introduced ICON to the audience as an entirely new category of surfaces heralding a significant milestone in the industry.  ICON represents a meaningful step forward in surface design: an entirely new category built to deliver design impact with modern performance expectations. ICON surfaces are crystalline silica-free* and incorporate ~80% recycled materials, bringing together beauty, sustainability, and durability in a way that reflects where the category is headed.

OPTIONS:  Multi-material, Multi-surface Solutions

Attendees at KBIS 2026 got the ultimate opportunity to look deeper at our exciting, expanding array of materials, looks, and installation possibilities. We showcased how Caesarstone continues to evolve beyond a single material and into a multi-surface portfolio built for real projects.

Across the booth, attendees previewed:

• Caesarstone ICON™ colors that push design detail and depth
• Caesarstone Porcelain innovations—including Bookmatch and 6mm formats created to support broader application needs
• A clearer view of how one cohesive surface story can move through a space from countertops to vertical and large-scale installations

The goal is simple: make it easier for specifiers to choose the right surface for the job, without sacrificing aesthetic continuity.

CONNECTIONS:  Inspiring Design Conversations

Connections with our design community are at the heart of our presence at KBIS this year—and every year. This year, our booth was designed to be open, welcoming, and conversation-forward: a place to connect, ask better questions, and explore what surfaces can do when design and performance are considered together.

We hosted two inspiring panel discussions during the show, each featuring a collection of top-tier interior designers who shared actionable insights for the kitchen and bath industry.

Mimosas & Moodboards

A conversation with our 2026 Caesarstone Circle moderated by Jessica Duce, a leader in the short-term luxury rental market. This panel featured our Caesarstone Circle members—Sara Malek Barney, Jessica Davis, Jennifer Hutton, Matthew Quinn, and Hill Rondero—who are making waves in their specialties and markets—all while specifying Caesarstone products and leading awareness of our exceptional product offerings. 

From Page to Place: How Materials Shape the Narrative of Home

In partnership with Rue Magazine, publisher and renowned design world personality Danny Seo moderated a compelling discussion featuring interior designers: Shamika Lynch, Patrick Maziarski, and Brooke Eversoll on how materials support storytelling, balancing editorial impact with durability and day-to-day livability.
