What to expect on Stand P80
Traditional
Set within a Shaker-style kitchen, the Traditional pod introduces the new Oxbury boiling water tap collection, combining classic design with modern functionality. Two new finishes debut: Dark Bronze, offering a rich, ultra-matt reddish-brown tone, and Polished Nickel, a warmer alternative to chrome. These are paired with Abode’s handcrafted fireclay ceramic sinks, delivering a refined, heritage-inspired aesthetic.
Personalisation
Industrial in style, this pod highlights Abode’s focus on customisation and detail. New Persona boiling water taps and Ornate mixer taps feature fluted dual lever handles, responding to the ongoing trend for fluted interiors. These are paired with the Optima Belfast sink, designed with a fluted surface on one side and smooth on the other, shown in the new Taupe colour on a Rotpunkt Zerox HPL XT Terra Grey kitchen.
Contemporary
Defined by architectural lines and minimalist design, the Contemporary pod sees the launch of Arkitect, a bold new tap collection available as a flex pro tap, boiling water tap, and boiling plus filtered water tap. The display also introduces the LINARO granite sink range in three new exclusive Abode colourways, presented within a sleek, handleless kitchen setting.
Scandi
Blending Nordic warmth with Japanese-inspired minimalism, the Scandi pod launches Organico, a new boiling water tap also available with filtered cold water. The award-winning Scandi-X tap and Synchronist sink collection are also on show, with Synchronist debuting in Taupe. The display reflects the growing trend for natural wood finishes paired with soft, earthy sink and tap tones, shown on a Rotpunkt Scandinavian Oak kitchen.
Additional highlights include Abode’s customisable sink wastes and overflows, available in matching finishes to create a coordinated wet zone, and a dedicated bathroom roomset. This will feature products from the FOCUS 60 collection, including the award-winning CAVA and IOX basins, brassware in the new Gunmetal finish, UNO showering solutions, and complementary mirrors and accessories.
