Richelieu Hardware has earned two prestigious awards in the industry-renowned Best of KBIS program. Presented at the 2026 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Orlando, Florida, the honours recognize Richelieu’s leadership in both expressive design and purposeful innovation.
The VERTI 840 motorized lift wins gold in the Wellness Trailblazer category while the design-forward ATIPICA decorative hardware secures silver in the Style Statement—Kitchen category.
Winning in both style and wellness underscores Richelieu’s ability to seamlessly merge aesthetics with meaningful functionality—reinforcing its commitment to innovation, thoughtful design, and solutions that enhance everyday living.
Designed to spotlight the boldest thinkers and most transformative product innovations in the kitchen and bath, Best of KBIS is awarded annually at KBIS—the largest and most prestigious trade show dedicated to all aspects of kitchen and bath design. Judged by a panel of industry professionals including designers, architects, and product experts, the program honors excellence across seven dynamic categories, spotlighting style, innovation, functionality, sustainability and wellness.
Richelieu is especially proud of its gold recognition in the Wellness Trailblazer category, reflecting the company’s deep commitment to accessibility and human-centered design. Developed by Granberg, a renowned European manufacturer of accessible kitchen and living solutions, the VERTI 840 motorized lift for upper cabinets brings items within easy reach, helping users avoid stretching and straining.
ATIPICA is a design-forward decorative hardware collection that plays boldly with texture, geometry, and color to create a striking focal point. Designed by Giancarlo Codato and Luciano Trevisiol—two creatives celebrated for transforming everyday objects into iconic statements—ATIPICA is a tribute to everything that refuses to be ordinary.
Together, these two awards embody a powerful design philosophy: that designs can—and should—be both visually striking as well as highly functional. With ATIPICA and VERTI 840, Richelieu continues to shape a future where style and wellness are not separate ambitions but perfectly aligned priorities.
