The Best New Products to Jazz Up Your Kitchen and Bath

In our annual look at furniture, fixtures, lighting, and accessories, we’re celebrating the endless potential of these hard-working spaces.

If endless stainless steel is starting to feel a little institutional, try a pop of color to give your kitchen some personality. It’s even better when it comes from an unexpected place, like an accessory you won’t want to hide away in a cabinet. We've rounded up our favorites—including these gadgets and others—in our annual look at new products for kitchen and bath (linked at the top and bottom of this page).

Give your kitchen or bathroom a pop of drama with these fashionable twists on traditional finishes and accessories—from flamboyant kitchen gadgets and heavy-duty rugs to chic vanities and fixtures for your bathroom. See it all, and much more, below. 

The Perfect Pendant

Drop Three Pendant

The initial design for this curvaceous pendant proved so technically complex, its British manufacturer, Original BTC, shelved it in 2001. Happily, after two decades of R&D, it’s back this spring and feeling utterly fresh, with its minimal profile and unglazed bone china shade.

This airy fixture, designed by Frederik Kurzweg for Normann Copenhagen, is made of three nested sheets of white perforated steel. Since each curved layer is rotated 180 degrees relative to the others, it appears to shape-shift as you move around your kitchen, dining room, or bar.

If you’ve been curious about mycelium—the fibrous strands in mushrooms that have lately been used to grow sustainable building materials—but hesitate at the idea of constructing your next house out of fungus, take the first step with this fully biodegradable pendant shade from designer Danielle Trofe. The Cup Light has a spongy texture (its shade is made by binding mycelium with a hemp substrate) that gives it a soft, organic glow.
