Kohler’s Director of New Product Development, Mark Bickerstaffe, highlights some directions in bathrooms:

The symbolism and alchemy of water and glass feature prominently in the beautiful collection of glass vessels and wash basins called Nature’s Chemistry.

The combination of the two accentuates the ever-changing play of light and shadow, ripples and reflection when water hits glass – seen brilliantly in the cast glass slab of subtly rippled texture that is the Antilia Wading Pool; the faceted brilliance of Kallos, crafted from spun glass; and the sublime, purist form of the funnel-shaped Lavinia.

Karbon Wins Hearts!!

Kohler — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 22:53:22 +0000

Kohler’s Karbon articulated kitchen mixer continues to turn heads – not only for its unique good looks but also for its sheer versatility. Inspired by the angle-poise lamp, the Karbon has several articulated joints that enable the ‘spout’ to be bent into a multitude of shapes and angles meaning water can be taken to exactly where it is needed (think tall vases, heavy pasta pots etc). An added bonus is that the Karbon looks like a piece of sculptural…
