Global kitchen and bath brand Kohler showcased its long-standing innovation and design leadership through a custom-created installation by New York-based artist Daniel Arsham, entitled Stone Flow at Design Miami/2021.
Stone Flow explores the Kohler x Arsham collaboration’s experimental phase and uses giant rocks to emulate the design of the innovative sink, Rock.01.
With a series of stone-like objects and forms, Arsham unveils a further exploration of his design process, which plays with organic forms found in nature. The 3D-printed Rock.01 debuted within the Stone Flow installation last week and will be available for purchase this month in a limited 99-piece run. The one-of-a-kind, limited-edition sink brings together creative innovation and expert craftsmanship from Kohler and Arsham.
“Rock.01 melds the future of 3D-printing technology with the most basic methods of hand-cast brass,” explains Arsham. “It is literally the new resting on top of the old, and I find that incredibly poetic. Kohler was the ideal partner to bring such a complex and futuristic design to life.”
Within Design Miami/2021 Kohler presented a Design Talk, “Design in the Now: How technology and craft meet the cultural moment” with Daniel Arsham, artist-designer; Marc Benda, Cofounder Friedman Benda; David Kohler, President and CEO Kohler; and Samuel Ross, artist-designer and moderated by Wava Carpenter, Curatorial Director Design Miami/.
Kohler also featured other innovative and design-forward global collections in its activations in Miami. The Statement Showering Collection and Anthem Valves and Controls represent an evolution of showering in both design and experience, and are meticulously crafted to fit global plumbing standards, opening the door to seamless specification and unbridled creativity.
The Statement Showering Collection from global brand Kohler brings a range of unique shapes and an array of sizes to the shower, breathing new life into well-loved standards and marrying the latest in technology with enduring craftsmanship. Innovative sprays elevate the showering experience, and universal compatibility means the system works wherever in the world it is installed. Inspired by iconic furniture and home goods, and defined by soft, approachable designs, the collection carries an underlying familiarity while creating striking aesthetics within the space.
The Occasion faucet collection was inspired by the high fashion and effortless glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood, offering both charm and elegance within the bathroom. The flawless design draws the eye from the chamfered edges to the subtle flare of the base. Just like the era that inspired it, the Occasion collection is always graceful, ever refined, and fashioned to be the centre of attention. The perfect balance between facets, angles, and edges invites an interplay of light that catches the eye and sets this collection apart from any other.
