Products We Discovered at ADDS 2018

By Lauren Busser and Rachel Lyon

We went to New York City for the 2018 Architectural Digest Design Show (ADDS) and saw some familiar faces and brand-new exhibitors with products we're excited to share! This is an interesting trade show that includes design-focused building products in addition to finer furnishing accents—it's a great place to get ideas if you're a fashion-forward homeowner who focuses on aesthetics. These are the products that caught our eyes and that we think you'll find interesting!

Smart and Super Stylish Appliances

The Jenn-Air® booth was unlike any we've ever seen before, and they showed us why! They unveiled a number of gorgeous appliances that will change what you think of and how you use your kitchen. From the sleek Columns refrigerators to the full collection of appliances in the RISE™ lineup, you'll find bold designs, aesthetics you can personalize, and app-controlled performance features to enjoy. Take the time to admire these appliances for the works of art they are!

Sleek and Seamless Sink Systems

If you want more from your kitchen sink, see what Franke has to offer! Maker of the famed Chef Center, Franke wowed us with a number of prototype and brand-new offerings that elevate this crucial kitchen workspace even more. Would you like to conceal the drain beneath a bold piece of shatterproof opaque glass for a contemporary pop? And match it to your faucet? The Crystal Collection does just that—along with a flexible spring hose to make cleaning a snap!

A Curated Collection of Cozy Colors

The right paint finish can completely transform your impression of a color and affect its overall look in your space. If you’re looking for a rich matte finish that offers something beyond the norm, check out Century® by Benjamin Moore®. We admired its color and feel—almost leathery to the touch and much warmer than the plain wall beside it. Century® offers 75 wonderful hues visually subdued by their unique finish, perfect for any room or mood! They also featured their partnership with Cambria® Quartz Countertops, matching paint colors with countertop patterns to take the guesswork out of interior design.

Dynamic and Dramatic Door Hardware

Baldwin Hardware® displayed the beautiful Hollywood Hills collection design by Erinn V. Erinn was inspired by the versatile surroundings of Los Angeles, California, and the clean, modern lines of the 1930s. These gorgeous knobs and door handles will be a beautiful addition to your home, and blend in nicely with a number of home aesthetics. Available in nineteen finishes, the Hollywood Hills collection features stripes, exposed screws, and intriguing flare that bring effortless style to any home when paired with your choice of bold finish, resulting in a fresh and timeless aesthetic. These pieces will look especially terrific in a transitional beach or a mid-century modern design!

Geometric Faucets with Natural Flair

If you're looking to amp up your bathroom and want it to pay homage to contemporary design and the natural world, you'll love what we found at Brizo®. The Vettis™ Bath Collection features faucets for the sink and tub as well as showerheads to fill your space with sharp, clean style all around. Our favorites are the open-spout lavatory faucets, which create a cascading waterfall effect you can simultaneously experience from the top and bottom. You don't see that often, in sinks or in nature!

Shades Scheduled for Perfect Ambiance

Hunter Douglas® displayed Red Dot Award-winning PowerView® Motorization technology. This simple and easy-to-use technology allows homeowners to create an environment where their window shades adjust automatically so each room has the perfect ambiance whether it is morning, noon, or night. The shades are moved and controlled via the intuitive PowerView app to control and schedule the adjustments. The technology has also integrated with Alexa for voice commands—no need to get up or find your phone!

Personalized and Practical Concrete Creations

Last year, we saw a table with fish and a crab. This year, we saw a design that included succulents and open flames. These are the possibilities when you choose WoodForm Concrete® from JM Lifestyles. Whether it is made to look like wood, or some other material, this company can make you tables, sinks, vanities, or wood panel accenting that performs better than the genuine article. Just imagine throwing a party with a large island that can host interchangeable centerpiece designs!

Luxurious and High Class Fixtures

Tactile experience might not be the first thing you think of when you shop for fixtures, but that's because your hands have never been wowed before. The knobs and levers on Fantini products will actually make you stop and think—why have you never considered that aspect before? We know we were struck by smooth curves on the underside of this particular model, but there are a number of different shapes and cuts with different sensations. You really need to test them for yourself!
