Celebration of Design

Honoring the best in kitchen design with an elegant and innovative celebration at The Breakers.

The 2022–2023 Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Kitchen Design Contest Summit and Gala took place at The Breakers, the magnificent jewel of Palm Beach, Florida. A renowned resort destination famous for its architectural grandeur, luxurious amenities, and rich history, The Breakers was the ideal location for the KDC Summit and Gala. Our discerning design-professional finalists, guests, and judges thoroughly enjoyed the unrivaled accommodations, the opportunity to connect with their industry peers, and the celebratory events.

The Living Kitchen magazine held the closing reception for the 2022 - 2023 Kitchen Design Contest Summit and Gala attendees.

The 2022-2023 Summit and Gala was a fun-filled few days of networking, excursions, inspiration, and of course, the grandeur and excitement of the awards ceremony.

The celebration included a lake-front view of a local port, kayaking activities, a live band, and dinner for the attendees.
