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.

Kohler’s colour leadership, rooted in a legacy dating back to 1927, continues to inspire. The Heritage Colors collection, featuring archival green hues like Fresh Green, Aspen Green, and Teal, pays homage to the brand’s historic colour palette while infusing modern-day designs with a touch of nostalgia and natural vibrance. Colours evoke emotions, and Kohler’s commitment to wellness is evident in its integrated showering systems like the Anthem+™ digital showering system. Empowering users with control over water delivery, temperature and personalised settings through the KOHLER Konnect™ app or voice commands, the product demonstrates the brand’s expertise in seamlessly blending technology with well-being. The company’s pursuit of innovation and craftsmanship is exemplified by the 3D-printed Rista™ vessel bathroom sink. Combining digital technology with traditional expertise, this expressive sink sets a new standard in the industry, showcasing Kohler’s dedication to pushing boundaries and creating thought-provoking yet functional everyday objects.
