Show & Tell Evenings:
In the grand fashion that one normally associates with Kohler, Show & Tell evenings are a unique platform created by Kohler, where the company brings together artists and connoisseurs. The last Show &Tell Evening event was held in Cochin and had Mr. Stephen Devassy performing.
Couture Collection:
Kohler India is launching 4 new luxury faucet lines, the “Couture Collection”. This collection brings fabulous fashion to the consumer’s bathroom. Being launched are the new ranges called Avid, Composed, Beitou, and Loure Extension, each with unique design inspirations making all of them special.
Avid:
The Sensuous Side of Simple Evolving from a minimalist design ethos, the Avid™ faucet collection marries the art of simplicity with dynamic sensibility. Slender arcs, smooth planes, arresting angles – each detail is designed to be encountered, every element an essential part of the whole. Avid brings clarity and comfort to modern interiors. A faucet, accessory, showering and bathing collection, Avid delivers design flexibility and complements contemporary living spaces. Avid is the happy result of the global design team’s exploration of the following design imperative-bringing emotional connection and sensitivity to minimalism without slipping into embellishment or cliché. The design’s inviting and somewhat feminine form pairs painstaking simplicity with sensory comfort.
Composed:
A harmonious balance of material and form, The Composed™ faucet collection by Kohler was designed for connoisseurs of modern art, and architecture. Stripped of nonessential flourishes, Composed embodies simplicity. Clean, classic and quietly confident. It exemplifies refinement among Kohler products as it forms an original composition that is at once unique yet comfortably familiar. Timeless and deliberate, the Composed faucet is a nod to historic modernism and the design philosophy of Rowena Reed Kostellow. As a professor at Brooklyn’s famed Pratt Institute between 1939 and 1968, Kostellow showed her students how to transform basic shapes into visual poems that elicited an emotional response. The Composed faucet embodies Kostellow’s theories in its spare and beautifully understated design.
Beitou:
The Nature of Tranquillity, The Beitou™ faucet collection from Kohler strikes a balance between architectural forms and the stunning displays of nature. The result is a peaceful interplay of invention and appeal that speaks to quiet moments of sanctuary. The calming movement of water lies at the heart of the Beitou™ faucet. The effortless flow of the design mimics the natural cascade of the water over the length of the spout and into the sink. Seen in this light, the faucet becomes a stage for water delivery whose shape and sound resembles a serene river.
Loure Extension:
Water clad in Metal Geometric composition in interior architecture lies behind the design intent of Loure. Its form is linear, planar and almost two dimensional. Water clad in metal, seemingly laser-cut and formed from a single sheet. Its width is defined by the intended function; the water stream it provides is an extension of the spout itself. Every piece in the
range refers back to this, to provide regimented coordination across the entire bathroom.
DTV+:
When you take a shower, where does your shower take you? Kohler brings water, sound, steam and light together like no one else with the most advanced SPA showering system called the DTV+™ digital showering system. DTV+™ is the most advanced showering system. It is a digital thermostatic valve (DTV) system that controls four elements to give you a multi-sensory showering experience. Every element of your showering experience is completely customizable to your needs and controlled by the touch-screen interface. There’s nothing quite like it for the home, and it’s only from Kohler 4.
