Kohler
And here is the last, and I hope you'll agree, the best post of the series on my trip to Kohler's headquarters at Kohler, Wisconsin. The trip was a visual feast! It was also an actual feast throughout the weekend since my trip was centered around the Kohler Food and Wine Experience - a weekend event (among many all year 'round) that I highly recommend which takes place in October of each year.
The piece de resistance of Kohler Village, to me, is the Kohler Design Center. A three level building of beautiful products and room vignettes in beautiful settings surrounded by fabulous materials, products, accessories and design elements, I want to share some of this gorgeousness with you. Without further ado...here we go (all images have been enthusiastically taken by me)!
Please see MORE images on my pinterest board, "Kohler's Design Center", and follow me!
I was so excited and wanted to take as many shots as I could that I did not stop to take note of each and every fixture, fitting or designer's name. If you have questions, please ask and I'll get the information to you!

Below, this is a part of a larger master bath which is designed via a universal design philosophy
Below, modern, sophisticated, whimsical...creative
Below, an interesting combination of patterns and proportions that works beautifully
Below, I'm not sure what else to say besides: ahhhhhhhhh. I'm relaxed.
Below, I feel like a superstar being in this space, perhaps somewhere in Paris?
Below, a closer look at beautiful warm design elements set against the purity of white
Below, I feel like I'm living in a loft in Soho - very cool design elements...always love the cool/warm mix
Below, a stunning environment that feels like it's in a penthouse - a warm modern design
Below, seen in the image above from a different angle. I'm on board!
Below, simply stunning, elegant, perhaps Will and Kate's powder room?
Below, I'm awed and excited - I think I'd like to hang out in here!
Of course I knew that Kohler is all about design and function but visiting Kohler's headquarters was a reminder as well as a series of new visual lessons about their quest for beauty, innovation, always a celebration of tradition and a commitment to a strong and clear look to the future. Sounds like copy text, doesn't it? Can you question Kohler's intense interest in design in the most open way, celebrating all design styles? I can't. Just look at the previous posts just below this one. Kohler is a giant in the kitchen and bath industry...for very good reason. I'm also very proud to call Kohler a great American brand.
From this....
to this, introduced in 2010, the NUMI!

I think designers of todaay can learn a great deal from Kohler. I love the ground breaking look and feel of some of these pieces of work / design.
those furry pillows and rug are ace!
Really very attractive interior design by Kohler-Design-Center.
