Nature Meets Design At Art Basel Miami Beach

The large installation and lush green garden Pergola will surround the visitor with the sensation of being in a real water cascade. The open-air space with a spectacular landscape garden element designed by Derek Castiglioni, overlooks the ocean and enhances the free fall of water from the KOHLER Real Rain^TM showering system. The shower is designed with a water reservoir that relies on gravity rather than the typical pressurized spray to shape the water droplets, using 775 concave nozzles to start the feeling of a cloudburst – beginning slowly and then building to a deluge – simulating an authentic rain shower. Kohler will also be highlighting the Veil Free-Standing Bath which offers a luxuriously deep bathing experience.

The interactive exhibit Kohler unveiled at Art Basel Miami Beach further extends the company's commitment and encouragement of the arts.

Kohler's Longstanding Support of the Arts
Kohler Co. has a longstanding history of continual support and encouragement of the arts, through innovative product designs, and also in its efforts to facilitate creative work outside of its core businesses. For more than four decades, Kohler has fostered its legacy of supporting the arts through its renowned Kohler Arts/Industry Residency program. Arts/Industry is a world-renowned artist-in-residence program managed by John Michael Kohler Arts Center and hosted/funded by Kohler Co., which fosters the intersection of art and the industrial process and allows artists to explore the use of industrial technologies in the creation of new bodies of work. Emerging and established artists from throughout the world work for two to six months on the factory floor alongside the men and women who cast and finish Kohler plumbing products. An unexpected yet significant element of the residency has been the rapport which grows between the artists and the industrial personnel.

Since the program's inception, Kohler has hosted more than five hundred residencies, and artists from around the world have worked in the Pottery, Iron and Brass Foundries, and Enamel Shop of Kohler Co. in Kohler, Wisconsin, to create entirely new bodies of work that would have been difficult if not impossible to make in their studios.
