The Endless Optimist is an expressive take on a Hamptons-style kitchen. Clean and crisp Café matte white appliances serve as a canvas for creativity, anchoring pops of color and energetic patterns throughout the space. The kitchen is playful with a nod to Parisian chic, à la a Harlequin-style checkered floor, mixed metal accents, a round wooden dining table and butler pantry with arched entry. The room is unapologetic, unexpected, indulgent — a perfect place to reenergize.

February 9th, 2021 marked day one of the first ever virtual Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), which showcases hundreds of new products coming to the design industry in 2021 from brand names ranging from GE to Kohler. While LIVDEN didn’t exhibit at KBIS this year, our sustainable tile was featured at the Café Appliances’ showcase kitchen, Endless Optimist, designed by exhibit designer TK Wismer. The GE brand Café Appliances manufactures custom appliances ranging from brightly colored refrigerators to sleek coffee makers for modern homes. Their trade mark is “Distinct by Design,” and after touring their test kitchens at KBIS, you will see why. Tk featured the playful PUZZLE PIECE series in MINT on our recycled 12x12 Polar Ice Terrazzo as the kitchen backsplash.
