Kohler and Aerin Lauder Introduce Fleurette Artist Editions Collection Inspired by Delftware

The new collaboration brings hand-applied florals, personal legacy, and expressive craftsmanship to classic bath forms

KOHLER, Wis., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kohler has partnered with Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of AERIN, to introduce a new Artist Editions bathroom collection inspired by traditional Delftware. Drawing on Lauder's affinity for floral design and heirloom blue-and-white ceramics, the Fleurette Collection brings hand-applied botanical motifs to three classic KOHLER fixtures, elevating everyday forms into statement pieces defined by timeless elegance.

The Kohler x AERIN Artist Editions Fleurette Collection includes three classic bath fixtures: the Memoirs Stately toilet, Memoirs Stately pedestal sink, and Caxton rectangle sink. Crafted in Kohler's white vitreous china, each piece features hand-applied floral decoration inspired by Delftware, long associated with heirloom design and ornamentation. The collection will be offered in traditional blue-and-white and soft green-and-white colorways.

The collaboration reflects Lauder's longstanding appreciation for floral design, interiors, and heirloom ceramics, including her personal connection to Delftware pieces collected by her grandmother, Estée Lauder. These influences shaped the collection's pattern language and color palette, bringing a decorative, heritage-inspired sensibility to classic bath forms. The Delftware pattern carries a warm, nostalgic charm, rooted in the tradition of Delft tiles originally valued for both their beauty and durability to withstand heat around fireplaces.

"Flowers have always been a source of inspiration for me, and the Delft influence carries personal significance, echoing pieces my grandmother cherished," said Lauder. "The blue-and-white palette has long been admired by designers for its enduring appeal, timeless elegance, and versatility. Collaborating with Kohler allowed us to translate that sensibility into the bath through pieces that are both meaningful and functional."

Each piece in the Kohler x AERIN collection is produced through Kohler's Artist Editions process, which combines precision manufacturing with decorative techniques executed by skilled artisans in Kohler, Wisconsin. Originating from Kohler's Arts/Industry residency program, Artist Editions has celebrated the intersection of art and craftsmanship for more than 40 years. The hand-applied detailing reflects Kohler's legacy of ceramic expertise and attention to quality.

"This collaboration brings together two brands united by a shared appreciation for heritage, craftsmanship, and enduring design," said Scott Edmunds, Kohler SVP Marketing. "Aerin brought a refined and deeply personal perspective to the collection, and together we created Artist Editions pieces that honor the decorative tradition of Delftware for the modern home."

Designed for powder rooms and bathrooms alike, the Kohler x AERIN Fleurette Collection complements a range of interior styles. Alongside the classic blue-and-white option, the collection will also be available in a green-and-white colorway designed to coordinate with Kohler's Heritage Aspen Green fixtures. The collection will be available in early fall 2026.
