Renowned artist David Franklin created this sculpture entitled Scuola Di Pesci in the Kohler MakerSpace, a program inspired by the Arts/Industry residency that hosts artists inside the Kohler factories to work on projects for commission. Scuola Di Pesci – created from the same vitreous china material used for making sinks and toilets and coated in the same finish as Kohler faucets – serves as a beacon of inspiration inside the Kohler KBIS booth.
The Kohler WasteLAB reuses unfired pottery cull, discarded enamel powder, and other traditional manufacturing ‘waste’ streams to create beautiful products like the new Kohler x Arsham Landshapes tile collection (pictured here). WasteLAB products are meticulously handcrafted in small batches by skilled factory artisans in Kohler, Wisconsin.
Kohler’s innovation and design leadership can transform daily self-care routines at home into rejuvenating wellness experiences that harness the full power of water, steam, cold therapy, and sensorial immersion. Kohler’s Anthem+ digital showering system provides complete control and personalization over a combination of shower sprays, rainheads, showerheads, handshowers, body sprays, Invigoration steam, SoundTile shower speakers, and an ice shower feature.
The Veil smart toilet in Honed Black and fashion designer Laura Kim star in Kohler’s new campaign, “Design Changes Everything.” The collaboration celebrates the transformative power of design with reverence to a core belief that it can elevate the everyday into the extraordinary. Kohler is featuring the Veil smart toilet in Honed Black at KBIS among a range of best-in-class smart toilets and bidet seats.
Kohler is redefining what living and bathing spaces can be and how they can impact lives. The new Billet Kitchen Faucet Collection is a bold fusion of industrial character and modern refinement. The collections’ distinctive raw casting details, chamfered edges, and bridge waterway options give it a vintage industrial feel. Billet is among several stylish and functional new launches from Kohler shown at KBIS.
For over 40 years, Ann Sacks has defined inspired living for the home through exquisite tile and stone collections, unparalleled craftsmanship, and expressive designs. The exclusive hand-carved marble STRIKE Fireplace, designed by multidisciplinary Dallas designer Chad Dorsey, demonstrates the brand’s expertise in stone offerings.
Luxury brand Kallista’s newest stone tub is crafted from Rosso Levanto marble with a rich burgundy hue and exquisite white veining. Rounded square contours make for a sleek profile and warm contemporary aesthetic.
Kast basins are meticulously handcrafted using high-quality high-concrete, with a proprietary palette of 28 shades. Kast’s new Orme collection invites consumers to create personalized pieces by mixing and matching color palettes and choosing between smooth or ridged columned pedestals.
The Klafs VALORA sauna is carefully crafted with crisp lines and edge-to-edge views, creating an environment for otherworldly relaxation fueled by discreet heat technology and unrivaled humidity control. Easily adjust the relative humidity and temperature combinations in the sauna cabin to journey through five preset climate experiences for personalized treatments.
Robern offers luxury products created with functional beauty, thoughtful technology, and American craftmanship. The Robern Presence cabinet, available in four sleek styles – rectangular, pill, arch, and rounded corner – is equal parts art piece and medicine cabinet. Its soft, decorative glow displayed on the wall and interior lighting and accessories make Presence both beautiful and functional.
Sterling’s contractor-friendly designs offer dependable performance and ease of installation, with versatile styles. The Forum bath offers a minimalistic apron for a sleek, clean design while the integral lumbar support provides comfort. For easy installation, the bath can be accompanied by tile directly to the deck or paired with Sterling’s Traverse wallset.
The company’s mission to help people live gracious, healthy, and sustainable lives inspires its portfolio of brands to transform spaces, enhance daily wellness routines, and improve quality of life.

Arts/Industry & Kohler MakerSpace

Sustainable Solutions
Water is essential to life and core to what Kohler does daily. The company is innovating to provide and preserve access to clean and efficient water experiences through efforts that reduce, recycle, and restore this precious resource. Kohler translates this practice to its new product development through offerings that are designed for the environment, enabling customers to live sustainably without sacrificing performance.
Kohler showcases sustainability features with icons that help customers easily identify sustainable products. These intuitive icons are on display in the company’s KBIS booth to create a sustainably led journey for guests.

Additionally, the booth proudly features the Kohler WasteLAB that reuses unfired pottery cull, discarded enamel powder, and other traditional manufacturing ‘waste’ streams to create beautiful products like the new Kohler x Arsham Landshapes tile collection. WasteLAB products are meticulously handcrafted in small batches by skilled factory artisans in Kohler, Wisconsin.
