Artistic Heritage
Our experience of the world is shaped by the things we encounter every day. From the sideboard that holds our table linens to the juice glasses we use every morning, the objects we choose for our homes reflect who we are and narrate the rhythm and texture of our lives. Balancing artistry and craftsmanship with utility, KOHLER products have been inviting you to celebrate beauty and creativity each day for years.
To encourage the marriage of manufacturing and art, Kohler has long encouraged world-renowned artists to become part of the enamel and ceramics industry. At the John David Kohler Art Center, artists collaborate closely with Kohler staff to freely apply both time-honored and cutting-edge technologies to create new, classic works of art, in turn paving the way for more creative expression.
Kohler’s launch into the art world came in 1929, when the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City included the KOHLER Black Series and chrome accessories in its exhibition for bathroom art, formally establishing the core position of the bathroom in interior design.
Other milestones include:
2002 SokTM overflowing bath and laminar-flow bath filler are the recipients of prestigious Gold and Silver Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEAs), respectively, from the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).
2005 Purist HatboxTM toilet won the Gold award for Design Excellence from the U.S. Industrial Design Institute.
