In the modern bathroom, the fusion of technology and design is paramount. Kohler’s smart toilets and bidet seats, exemplified by the new Leap™ smart toilet and the elegant Veil™ smart toilet, seamlessly integrate advanced functionalities without compromising on aesthetic appeal. At the forefront of innovation is the Formation 02 – a collaboration with designer Samuel Ross, reimagining the Eir™ smart toilet as a functional work of art.
