KOHLER, Wis.-Thursday 21 March 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kohler, a global lifestyle brand, returns to Milan Design Week to host an enticing sensory experience inside the historic Palazzo Del Senato (via Senato, 10, 20121 Milan, Italy). The
large-scale immersive exhibit showcases Kohler’s bold approach to
design and the brand’s most stunning products through an artful
combination of water, technology, texture, and color. The installation
will be open April 9 through April 13 from 10am – 7pm daily.
“Milan
Design Week is the ultimate celebration of creativity and innovation
among the global design community,” said Jim Lewis, Vice President of
Kohler Kitchen and Bath Global Marketing. “The energy and spirit of the
event make it the perfect place to explore new ideas and celebrate our
latest design expressions with an inspirational audience of designers
from around the world.”
Nature
plays a pivotal role with the inclusion of a “digital garden” at the
entrance of the exhibit as well as an infinity garden that whimsically
juxtaposes Kohler’s Smart Home collection. Kohler’s space also features a
bar and lounge area for guests to relax and recharge.
Additionally,
Kohler will use the Palazzo as the platform for the launch of the
company’s second global design theme, Experiential Luxury, an
examination of the details and layers that create rich and dynamic
environments.
Products featured at this year’s exhibition include the latest from Kohler Co. brands KOHLER, KALLISTA, ANN SACKS and ROBERN. Media interested in a guided tour or to be included in media events at the exhibition are asked to contact the Kohler Public Relations team.
Smart Home
Intelligent Toilets offer
the perfect combination of sophisticated design and unmatched
technology to deliver the finest in personal comfort and cleansing.
Extensive customization – from ambient lighting and wireless music to
temperature control, create a truly personalized experience.
Digital Showering transforms
users’ daily routine by allowing customization down to the tiniest
detail. It invites users to orchestrate spray experiences, steam, music
and lighting to create a personalized escape. Kohler’s portfolio of
Smart Room products help create the world’s smartest bathrooms.
Color, Material, Finish
With a full range of colors, Kohler finishes visually set the tone for any space’s story and convey a unique personality. The Etch faucet
finish – launching on the Components Collection – offers a beautiful,
subtle gradient between two finishes with a precise graphic pattern. A
wide range of colors and detailed graphics continue to draw the eye in
for a beautiful, decorative impact.
Steeped in Japanese culture, Kensho conveys
the story of decorative stitching known as sashiko by using patterns
etched in stone. It also leverages the Italian etching technique known
as acqueforti, marrying metals and marbles to create a distinctive level
of ornamentation. The shape is gorgeous, the real stone adds texture
and variation, and the decorative techniques are stunning.
With precise cuts and ultra-flat surfaces, the Parallel Collection
of faucets and accessories brings sophistication to the modern bathroom
through controlled expression. The dichotomy of round and square forms
is unified by characteristic angles that deliver beautiful reflections
and precise alignment. Smaller details deliver character originality and
heighten the collection to a higher level of sophistication.
In partnership with parent company, Kohler Co., ANN SACKS debuts The Crackle Collection by Kohler WasteLAB,
an innovative tile series that employs Kohler’s unfired pottery cull as
its medium, transforming the waste into a responsive tile body.
Handcrafted in the WasteLAB located in the Kohler, Wis. enamel factory,
the bespoke collection was one of the initiatives spun from the Kohler
Innovation for Good program. Milan serves as the global launch of this
collection as well as the premiere of a brand new colorway.
