WORDS Amelia Brown
Kohler’s beautiful Artist Editions basins are functional works of art, balancing artistry and craftsmanship with utility.
Kohler is creating one-of-a-kind artworks for bathrooms. The Artist Editions basins are made of the finest materials – glass, bronze, marble and ceramic – using methods that have been passed down for generations. The designers take inspiration from architecture, textiles, crafts and fine art from around the world to create the patterns and textures. Each pattern is applied by hand before the vessels are fired in custom kilns.
The Persia Conical Bell Vessel in the Caravan Collection features a pattern suggestive of ancient motifs combined with a fresh interpretation of Middle Eastern and Indian design traditions. Kohler’s reputation for design innovation and craftsmanship has been honed since the company’s founding in 1873. It has more than 50 manufacturing locations worldwide, and local stockists in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Ballito.
