LAS VEGAS -  Wood-Mode fine custom cabinetry will explore a Symphony of Style at KBIS 2016, noting that design palettes and musical playlists are both personal. At KBIS 2016, Wood-Mode will be asking, “What’s your #SymphonyofStyle?”

Through daily events, live music, booth design, new products and social media, Wood-Mode says it will explore music and instruments as they relate to the hallmarks of Wood-Mode cabinetry: quality, craftsmanship, artistry and individualized style.

By telling Wood-Mode about their #SymphonyofStyle on social media, showgoers can also help support music education for young people. Participation also gives show attendees the chance to win a Martin 000RS1 Solid Sapele Wood Guitar. More information on this program including how to participate will be released closer to the show.

At Booth #N2273, Wood-Mode will showcase a mix of materials and design styles in distinct vignettes that include such luxury materials as African sapele ribbon mahogany, hammered stainless door fronts, weathered (sandplasted) rift cut white oak and custom leather interiors.

Within Wood-Mode's KBIS Booth #N2273 aattendees can view a number of new products, styles and finishes:

  • YardleyRecessed: Made of rift cut white oak and finished in a cool slate gray, this stunning set also features modern, stainless steel inset doors and drawers, lateral sliding doors and integrated LED lighting, making it an ideal example of the diverse design capabilities with Wood-Mode.
  • Tiffany Recessed: The new Wood-Mode Tiffany recessed inset door in white oak is finished in a new Matte Shoreline stain. Details such as an interior application of gray leather, integrated LED lighting and custom bonnet pediment come together in a furniture-like approach.
