HD Expo
2025
Kimball Hospitality made a bold statement at HD Expo with our award-winning booth, designed in partnership with The Gettys Group. The immersive space brought joy-driven design to life, reimagining the future of hospitality.
Designed by The Gettys Group and crafted by Kimball Hospitality, this project was more than just a booth—it was a chance to disrupt the day-to-day and embrace intentional design for joy. The Gettys team took on this challenge as a passion project, focusing on creating spaces that spark happiness, connection, and inspiration. Each detail was thoughtfully designed to blur the lines between work, entertainment, and relaxation. The result? A space that brings joy not just to those who experience it but to those who created it.
