Transformative design experiences were highlighted through curated collections from Kohler, KALLISTA, and Kohler x Studio McGee along with panel discussions on wellness, design, and sustainability.
Kohler Co., a global leader in kitchen and bath design and innovation, launched a bold new chapter under the theme ‘Transform Your Expectations’ at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center.
In collaboration with three world-renowned design firms, Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), LW Design Group, and IDA Global, Kohler unveiled a one-of-a-kind booth that blends Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage through a fusion of art, design, and cutting-edge innovation for hotels, residential, and commercial spaces. Here’s the quick look:
Reminiscent of the desert’s mineral tones and sculptural stillness, KALLISTA® collections unfolded like rare treasures—quietly revealed within a serene, immersive landscape. Visitors immersed in a space where quiet beauty and stillness converged, and the extraordinary emerged in the most unexpected moments—a place that invited reflection, presence, and the quiet luxury of discovery.
The suite highlighted Bezel™, a coveted new KALLISTA collection, featuring a soft square profile with the precise faceting of a gemstone, beckoning to be the jewelry of a bathroom space.
Inspired by the desert’s quiet resilience and the grounding rituals of resort living, this space became a sensory sanctuary, where design transcended aesthetics to evoke emotion and align with intention. Visitors stepped into a retreat shaped by Kohler’s soulful innovations, where every element was thoughtfully crafted to transform the environment into a place of restoration and reconnection—a space that truly invited visitors to explore a deeper sense of self.
This suite featured the pairing of the Anthem™ smart showering system with the Statement™ showering collection, delivering an immersive ritual where every drop inspired renewal.
Immersed in quiet opulence, the lush drama of Italian maximalism met the soulful calm of Arabian nights. The air was rich with oud, golden threads shimmering across flowing fabrics, and music lingering like a memory in the courtyards. Visitors experienced a space where every detail was designed to ground and transport—an invitation to dwell in beauty, stillness, and story.
In this suite, the sleek, minimalist Components™ collection echoed the mood with bold, confident lines balanced by smooth, curvaceous forms.
Featuring collections from Kohler, KALLISTA, and Kohler x Studio McGee, the showcase reimagined immersive experiences in bathroom spaces elevating everyday rituals, enhancing wellness, and promoting a more sustainable future.
Kohler x Studio McGee is a collection rooted in time-honored craftsmanship, designed exclusively by Shea McGee to pay homage to the legacy of quality fixtures and the luxury of an aesthetic that endures. Throughout the Castia™ bathroom collection, the products featured a sense of antiquity but are transitional enough to pair with a wide range of styles.
On the first day of the exhibition, Kohler’s Chief Sustainable Living Officer Laura Kohler also participated in the Visionary Design Talks titled “Saudi Made – Why Culturally Rooted Design Drives Investment Value.” The talk explored how honoring local culture and identity brings authenticity, trust, and lasting value to design. Joining the panellists included Ahmed Zaidan, Founder and CEO, edgearch; Amani Al Ibrahim, Partner – Executive Director, Kristina Zanic Consultants; Tony Archibald, KSA Country Director, X-Architects; and Omar Al Sabbagh, Design Advisor – Director and Strategist, Dar Al Omran.
Kohler also held event activations at the KOHLER Signature Store by Bayt Al Ebaa.
The first event was an accredited master class by the Council for International Accreditation of Architecture (CIAAD) held for aspiring architect students. The session allowed the students to explore how sustainability and innovation converge to shape design education with leading designers.
The master class was followed by an exclusive panel discussion moderated by Laura Kohler, Chief Sustainable Living Officer at Kohler Co., under the topic “Designing for Collective Well-Being.” The talk brought together leaders from the design industry, academia, and government authorities in an important dialogue to explore the shared responsibility of creating wellness spaces that heal both people and the planet.
