Kohler Announces Appointment of Martha Stewart as Cast Iron Ambassador

Pioneering lifestyle expert Martha Stewart partners with Kohler in a shared vision to highlight the timeless design, beauty, and craftsmanship of enameled cast iron

KOHLER, Wis. , July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kohler Co., a global leader in kitchen and bath design and innovation, proudly welcomes renowned lifestyle authority Martha Stewart as Kohler Cast Iron Ambassador, a first of its kind role for the company.

The partnership celebrates Kohler's deep heritage and enduring legacy in cast iron design – one that began in 1883 when founder John Michael Kohler transformed a humble cast iron horse trough into the company's first enameled bath.

Today, Kohler's enameled cast iron collection spans beautifully crafted baths, shower bases, bathroom sinks, and kitchen sinks in a variety of styles—ranging from contemporary to transitional to traditional—all engineered with the exceptional durability and timeless quality that define the Kohler brand.

Martha Stewart, a longtime user of and personal advocate for enameled cast iron, will collaborate with Kohler on a series of engaging content pieces and events throughout 2025 and 2026. With her signature approach to home and design, Stewart will showcase cast iron's ability to enhance both everyday spaces and personal style, telling the story of timeless beauty and quality craftsmanship through her distinct perspective.

"Martha Stewart personifies quality, design, and what it means to live a gracious lifestyle – making her the perfect partner to help us celebrate the extraordinary character of Kohler Cast Iron," said David Kohler, Chair and CEO. "Cast iron is at the core of our history and our roots, but it's also part of our future. It's our love, it's our craft, and making it right here in Kohler, Wisconsin is a great element of the story. What began in 1883 changed the trajectory of the entire company and continues to shape the evolution of our business." 

"It's such a pleasure to partner with the innovative minds at Kohler to bring awareness to the variety and depth of their enameled cast iron offerings," said Martha Stewart. "I have been a proponent of enameled cast iron for decades, all throughout the home, and look forward to sharing my passion for the material with the world, and helping others discover its beauty, strength, and lasting value—especially through the lens of the category leader, Kohler."

Together, Kohler and Martha Stewart aim to inspire beautiful spaces through the charm, warmth, and thoughtful functionality of cast iron products. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted for lasting strength and backed by Kohler's Limited Lifetime Warranty — resisting chipping, cracking, and burns to deliver enduring performance and peace of mind.

Made from at least 80% recycled material, Kohler Cast Iron reflects a longstanding commitment to sustainability. Built to withstand the test of time, these offerings support a more mindful approach to artisan manufacturing.

As a part of the partnership, Stewart will headline Kohler Food & Wine, which takes place in Kohler, Wisconsin from Thursday, October 16th to Sunday, October 19th, 2025.
