Kenny & Co.

  • Best of Retail

Kenny & Company, an exclusive, high-end plumbing fixture, tile and lighting boutique, enlisted Williams Blackstock to renovate and expand its showroom, a 1,610-square-foot industrial space formerly called The Loft, located in the Design District of Birmingham, Alabama. To invite customers in to explore the showroom, a large storefront window was cut into the exterior wall creating expansive views of the fixture vignettes, brightly-colored tile and custom lighting on display. Custom millwork was used throughout the space to present the array of upscale plumbing fixtures and tile collections – including free-standing panels that show mock-up design concepts for the bathroom and kitchen. Smaller tile boards are artfully displayed on long sections of bent plate angles from floor to ceiling.
