KONST announces the grand opening of its latest brand extension, KONST Union, a 1,250-sq.-ft. upscale bath fixtures and furniture showroom located in Bethesda, Maryland. After the recent acquisition with Union Hardware, KONST Union will now incorporate design, installation and project management services as part of a new business model to provide highly sought-after products and services all under one location.

“KONST Union marks an important stage in the company’s strategic expansion,” said Jonas Carnemark, CEO of the KONST brands. “It’s a natural extension for us to provide homeowners with everything they need for the two most important rooms of the house.”

The showroom brings to North America an exclusive selection of luxury European bath brands, including Fantini, Falper, Effegibi, Vitage, Milldue, Noorth, Devon & Devon and Crosswater London. KONST Union will deliver the most innovative designs and highest quality furnishings when it comes to modern European style and comfortable living.

“I’m pleased to be working with Jonas Carnemark, whom I hand selected for his reputation and expertise in introducing top European luxury brands into the U.S. market,” said David Goldberg, former owner of Union Hardware, a staple of the Bethesda community for more than 100 years. “I feel confident that he will support our clients with the highest level of design expertise and customer service.”

Visitors can experience first-hand the innovative style, comfort and precision manufacturing of Europe’s most coveted bath brands, with a special focus on bespoke bathroom faucets from Fantini Rubinetti, which sponsored the grand opening event. KONST Union is open to the public as well as the trade.
