Kohler presents its innovative solutions for the bathroom during the Milan Design Week 2019

Kohler, a global lifestyle brand, returns to Milan Design Week to host an enticing sensory experience inside the historic Palazzo Del Senato (via Senato, 10, 20121 Milan, Italy). The large-scale immersive exhibit showcases Kohler's bold approach to design and the brand's most stunning products through an artful combination of water, technology, texture, and color. The installation will be open April 9 through April 13 from 10am - 7pm daily.

“Milan Design Week is the ultimate celebration of creativity and innovation among the global design community,” said Jim Lewis, Vice President of Kohler Kitchen and Bath Global Marketing. “The energy and spirit of the event make it the perfect place to explore new ideas and celebrate our latest design expressions with an inspirational audience of designers from around the world.”

Nature plays a pivotal role with the inclusion of a “digital garden” at the entrance of the exhibit as well as an infinity gardenthat whimsically juxtaposes Kohler's Smart Home collection. Kohler's space also features a bar and lounge area for guests to relax and recharge.

Additionally, Kohler will use the Palazzo as the platform for the launch of the company's second global design theme, Experiential Luxury, an examination of the details and layers that create rich and dynamic environments.

Products featured at this year's exhibition include the latest from Kohler Co. brands KOHLER, KALLISTA, ANN SACKS and ROBERN.
