CHICAGO — Designs of Distinction’s (DOD) new product – the Designer DripEdge – won this year’s KBB Product Awards in the functional hardware category.

KBB is the official publication of the NKBA and KBIS. Every fall, KBB names new Product Award winners prior to the following year’s KBIS trade show.

To receive KBB’s Product Award, products are submitted to KBB and reviewed by a panel of anonymous judges. In 2023, Designs of Distinction submitted one of its newest products – the Designer DripEdge – without knowing which category KBB would assign the product.

“We’re pleased the DripEdge was placed in the Functional Hardware category, because that’s what we consider it, too – it’s a functional piece that also adds to the kitchen’s aesthetic,” and agrees with KBB’s statement that the DripEdge is “functional and eye-catching.”

DOD’s Designer DripEdge profile is available in 4 widths and 3 finishes, fitting most at-home waste can pull-outs. The slight overhang allows for easy clean up of spills and messes. Perhaps most importantly, DripEdge is made in the USA from anodized aluminum, meaning it won’t chip, peel, rust, or corrode. Satin brass, flat black, and brushed aluminum finishes are unscathed from harsh cleaning solutions and will retain their bright metallic finish for years to come.
