I purposely saved this post for the last day of "30 days of KBIS". A.F.E. was one of my favorite companies showing at KBIS.
A.F.E. is one of the few millwork/carving fabricators that recognize the shift in design trends towards a more modern take on traditional architecture. Most would call it transitional.
I work in St. Louis which is very traditional in its architecture and design tastes. When grape laden corbels finally go out of style a St. Louis home will be the last to receive them. Transitional styling is just starting to show up in the area.
A.F.E. addresses this trend in their "Modern Classic Collection" and in the "New Art Collection"
We talked to the guys at the A.F.E. booth and they gave us permission to use some of their website photos to show the "New Art Collection".
This is the only post in our coverage of KBIS 2010 that will feature photos not taken at the show. Throughout this coverage we wanted to show the products as displayed at KBIS and to avoid using stock photos provided by the exhibitors. As we said when we stared the coverage was geared to those that wanted to go but couldn't make it but wanted to see what went on at KBIS.
