Germansville, PA (February, 2025) – Grothouse, a leader in luxury wood surfaces, is proud to announce its partnerships with five premier brands at the 2025 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) taking place from February 25-27 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Collaborations with Monogram, Häfele, nobilia North America, Wellborn Cabinet, Inc., and Belwith Products will showcase the versatility and elegance of wood in modern interiors, emphasizing the increasing demand for organic materials in contemporary and transitional design.

Each partnership highlights Grothouse’s innovative craftsmanship through a curated selection of products, including custom countertops in various wood species, Pastore™ Waterfall tables, Anvil™ Metal surfaces, Durata® Waterproof finishes, checkerboard butcherblock designs, and exclusive finishing techniques such as wire-brushing, hand-planing, and glazing. Attendees can explore Grothouse’s work at the featured booths located in the North Hall and West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from February 25-27.

“We’re seeing a clear shift in design trends this year, with a strong emphasis on blending natural materials with sleek, contemporary aesthetics,” said Paul Grothouse, Founder of Grothouse. “Wood surfacing has become a cornerstone of this movement, offering warmth, authenticity, and versatility. Beyond that, designers are experimenting with unique patterns, textures, and finishes to create one-of-a-kind spaces.”

“Our collaborations with Monogram, Häfele, nobilia North America, Wellborn Cabinet, and Belwith Products embody this design evolution. Each brand has sought to enhance their KBIS presentation by integrating wood’s inherent beauty and character, and we are honored to be a part of their vision,” Grothouse added. “These displays exemplify how wood and metal-coated surfaces can redefine luxury and functionality in today’s interiors,” says Grothouse.
