KOHLER® Launches Innovative and Inspired New Bathroom Products for 2011
May 2011

The Kohler Company, a global leader in kitchen and bathroom design and technology, continues to build on its selection of distinctive products in the UK with additions to bathroom and shower products for 2011. This includes the new multi-functional and fun Flipside Handshower, the Kallos Spun Glass undercounter basin, a distinctive bathroom piece as well as a visually stunning work of art; and Pop and Idol furniture pieces, both now available in new colours.

Kohler Flipside Handshower

Flipside Handshower has four unique and distinct spray patterns to give different shower experiences from one showerhead. The innovative Flipstream technology makes selecting a spray simple by flipping
the spray-head on its axis. Each mode has its own dedicated sprayface to deliver increased performance and eliminate any compromise created by space limitations. Advanced ergonomics revolutionizes the users interface with the product simply and easily, even with soapy hands. Flipside is adaptable with Four Spray Patterns:

Kurrent™: Delivers a targeted massage spray to ease aches and pains, and revitalize the body.
Komotion™: A full-face spray that delivers a drenching and exhilarating circular pattern.
Kotton™: Uniquely dense, soft, enveloping downpour of luxury spa spray.
Koverage™: A full-face spray ideal for everyday use.

Kallos™ Spun Glass Undercounter Basin

Kallos™ Spun Glass undercounter basin extends the Nature’s Chemistry range of hand crafted basins that use natural, authentic materials like bronze and glass. With its distinctive, architectural pattern reminiscent of fine crystal, the design creates stunning, visual depth while the glass material provides a strong, durable surface that is easy to clean while appropriately hiding the view of toiletries stored inside the vanity.

Pop Furniture

Pop is a compact furniture collection ideal for cloakrooms, en-suites or small bathrooms. It provides practical storage solutions in simple base units that combine with warm-to-touch gel coat basins in gloss white. An optional ‘laminar’ basin mixer is available to provide a stunning water delivery solution. The range has been expanded from gloss black, gloss white and walnut finishes to now include eight new colours and finishes to match all types of decor:

Two new wood finishes:
Grey Ash and Safari

Five new high-gloss lacquer finishes:
Grey Anthracite, Titanium Grey, Chestnut, Aubergine, Raspberry

One new gloss finish transfer motive:
Flower

Idol Furniture

Modern synthetic basin technology has enabled Kohler to produce a striking urban aesthetic with its Idol bathroom furniture range. Available in two sizes; 100cm single bowl and 130cm double bowl, the Idol range also features the latest in premium, slow close components and is now available in six new high-gloss lacquer finishes to complement the existing gloss black:

Grey Anthracite
Titanium Grey
Chestnut
Aubergine

Kohler exhibited Flipside and Kallos new products at the world’s leading bathroom trade show ISH in Frankfort, Germany [15 – 19 March, 2011].
