he 1810 Company is launching its latest SCHOCK CRISTADUR® sink range at KBB Birmingham 2026, with a focus on flexibility and practicality. The Kaia is one of several new introductions by 1810, located at Stand J80 throughout the exhibition, as the company makes a significant return to KBB Birmingham for the first time since its acquisition by SCHOCK. The stand showcases its coordinated portfolio of stainless steel, PVD and quartz composite sinks.
1810/SCHOCK debuts Kaia, Magnolia and HEX AXIX at KBB 2026 T
Developed with contemporary kitchen architecture in mind, Kaia offers a refined, minimalist aesthetic with specification flexibility, available in five sizes, five colours and three installation methods. Managing Director at The 1810 Company, Bernhard van Ommen, explains how the flexibility in design options is what makes Kaia so appealing. “We understand the importance of flexibility, whether that is in a sink’s installation, colour, bowl size or design – and the Kaia range signifies this. “It truly is a versatile option that gives designers greater creative freedom while maintaining a premium, considered aesthetic.”
Manufactured using SCHOCK’s premium CRISTADUR® quartz composite, Kaia is approved for use with Quooker® boiling water taps and features a dirt-repellent, easy-to-clean surface with exceptional resistance to heat, impact and fading. Kaia is available in five sizes, including the N-100L bowl, and five colours, such as Puro and Magnolia, with examples displayed on the 1810/SCHOCK stand throughout the exhibition. Kaia and Magnolia are among several new products showcased by 1810/SCHOCK this year, with a standout being the latest variation of the innovative AXIX sink. The new AXIX combines the tactile HEX surface with the architectural AXIX sink wall cladding concept to create a seamless, integrated sink and worktop aesthetic with a distinctive textured base.
New tap introductions are on display, including 1810’s Aged Brass finish, new pull-out options, and designs such as Talia by SCHOCK and Dutrarre by 1810.
“These new additions have all been designed with designers and retailers in mind, ensuring the 1810/SCHOCK product offering continues to
evolve and match the requirements of a wide range of kitchen projects,” Bernhard said. “Our AXIX range is an ever-popular, innovative sink solution, and we’re proud to add another option for those looking for something extra special. It offers a true mix of practicality and design, with Magnolia proving an on-trend finish that aligns beautifully with upcoming worktop trends. Adding new tap options provides even more choice for customers looking to create a refined, unified kitchen design.
“We are excited to finally be at the show and to be able to share this exciting new addition to our range with attendees.”
KBB Birmingham attendees are invited to visit Stand J80 (1st–4th March) to be among the first to see Kaia, HEX AXIX and other new additions in the 1810/SCHOCK portfolio.
