From kitchens and bathrooms to facades and floors, Neolith has become an essential element in contemporary design, blending style, sustainability, and functionality.

The purpose of this case study is to showcase the success of a two-day art activation at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, where Neolith aimed to attract potential customers and create a unique booth experience that goes beyond showcasing their products. The collaboration with renowned bodypaint artist Trina Merry brought an artistic touch to the booth, highlighting the brand's commitment to innovation, design, and social responsibility.

II. Challenge

Standing Out in a Crowded Tradeshow Environment

KBIS is North America's premier trade show dedicated to kitchen and bath design, attracting thousands of industry professionals and exhibitors. With a massive show floor and intense competition, Neolith faced the challenge of capturing the attention of visitors amidst the bustling tradeshow environment. They wanted to offer not only exceptional products but also a memorable experience that would engage and inspire attendees.

Neolith also aimed to introduce their newest Neolith Iconic Design series, featuring 3D printing technology that creates a fully integrated design throughout the entire surface. The challenge was to present this breakthrough product line in a unique and captivating way, ensuring that it stood out among other exhibitors and left a lasting impression on visitors.

III. Solution

Transforming Stone into Living Art

To meet these challenges, Neolith collaborated with Trina Merry, a renowned bodypaint artist, to create a two-day art activation that would bring their booth to life and showcase the beauty and versatility of their products. The activation focused on two key elements:

Day One: Stone-Inspired Dance Performance

Trina Merry painted two contemporary dancers to resemble the texture and color of Neolith surfaces. The dancers performed a mesmerizing contemporary dance in front of the booth, captivating the audience with their fluid movements and the stunning illusion of being transformed into living sculptures. This performance not only attracted attention but also conveyed the brand's artistic vision and the seamless integration of Neolith surfaces into any space.

Day Two: Camouflaged Models

On the second day, Trina Merry camouflaged two models into the Neolith fixtures, creating an interactive and immersive experience. These living statues blended seamlessly into the stone surfaces, surprising and delighting visitors as they walked by. The models interacted with attendees, encouraging them to explore the Neolith booth and learn more about the products. This unique and engaging approach ensured that Neolith left a lasting impression on visitors and sparked conversations about their innovative offerings.
