TRENDS AND TASTES – New show hits KZN

A new venue, new name and new ideas Trends & Tastes offered a very different look and feel to the show this year. The quality of exhibits, both big and small were of an extremely high standard. To keep within the industrial and green feel for the exhibition, the stands were cladded in pine using eco-friendly Xanita board.

The decision to move from the ICC to the Durban Exhibition Centre allowed the organisers to introduce an outdoor food market with jazz, as well as options to enjoy delicious meals from the Decadent Diner and the Wholefood Kitchen.

Well done and thank you to our KSA members who participated in the show – Exotic Kitchens, Fourth Dimension Kitchens, The Kitchen Studio, The Granite Studio, Southern Kitchens, Nyathi Kitchens, Niemann SA, Smeg, Defy, Technistone and Whirlpool.

Thanks go to Whirlpool for donating an Aqua Fridge for the KSA competition, won by Allan Smith.

Thank you to the KSA members who gave up their time to man the KSA stand. In particular Brendon Quail from Les Bowden Designer Kitchens who gave up many long hours, particularly when the weather was so spectacular!

Finally a big thank you to Niemann SA for donating the material and Nyathi Kitchens for manufacturing our KSA desk and cupboard for the stand. Your support is appreciated.
