At KBIS and IBS Orlando 2026, Anatolia, Aeterna, and Guardia presented thoughtfully curated booth experiences designed to guide visitors through material, form, and application. The exhibits highlighted how slabs, tiles, pavers, mosaics, and surface protection solutions perform in real-world design settings.

Refined surfaces, thoughtfully composed.

At KBIS, Anatolia’s presence unfolded through a series of immersive settings showcasing slabs, tiles, pavers, and mosaics. Visitors experienced refined finishes and advanced surface technology, including Colorsync porcelain collections and unglazed porcelain collections, illustrating seamless design possibilities and cohesive application across a variety of materials and formats.

The booth was designed as an immersive journey with dual-entry points to create a seamless flow that invited visitors to explore the synergy between aesthetics and performance.

Upon entering, guests were anchored by a stunning installation of Travertino Titanium, applied across the countertop and backsplash. This was complemented by a breathtaking Pietra Imperiale bookmatch wall application that elegantly framed the space’s architectural shelving. Defining the main space are the Gemma Bronze side walls, displayed in a high-impact bookmatch application.

A major focal point of the experience was the Arabescato Corchia bathroom. This space featured another striking bookmatch wall that flowed seamlessly into a beautiful matching vanity, demonstrating the flawless continuity achievable with precision-engineered slabs. This showcased the Bookmatch "true-to-nature" design philosophy, expertly digitalized patterns where veins flow from one slab to another with the authentic, subtle variations found in natural stone.

Visitors engaged with the range through the Aeterna Gallery Tower Display, featuring 75 A-shape samples of slab colors in a variety of exquisite tactile finishes. Additionally, the Showroom Waterfall Display showcased curated palettes in every available finish. The entire experience was tied together by Serena Crater flooring, providing a sophisticated foundation for the booth’s bold forms.

Surfaces designed to protect and inspire.

The 2026 NAHB International Builders' Show served as the premier stage for Guardia Surface Protection to showcase Anatolia’s line of multi-layered, reusable protection mats designed for job sites. Engineered to safeguard valuable floors and hard surfaces from tools, sharp debris, paint, liquids, dirt, and other hazards, Guardia offers a reliable solution for both residential and commercial environments.

Each year, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) identifies the industry's most cutting-edge products, recognized for their impact on innovation and job site safety. Anatolia was honored to have Guardia recognized as a finalist for the 2026 Best of IBS Award for Most Innovative Construction Tool, a distinction that validates our mission to redefine site protection standards for the modern professional.

The shows brought Anatolia, Aeterna, and Guardia together in a shared narrative that highlighted material dialogue, design integration, and functional performance. Visitors saw firsthand how materials and products interact across diverse design environments. Each product was presented within context, enabling an immersive experience.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who visited and engaged with us at KBIS and IBS Orlando 2026. Your interest continues to inspire our exploration of surfaces, space, and design. We’re excited about what’s ahead for these three brands as we strengthen our international presence.
