New Space: Kohler Gallery

WORDS Mary Garner IMAGES Sarah de Pina

Introducing the new Kohler Gallery space in Joburg’s Bryanston, designed by Copperleaf Studio‘s Kelly Adami.

The new space showcases Kohler’s complete range of bathroom offerings, including the Kohler Artist Editions® collection of basins with decorative effects in glass, bronze and marble, in an environment that also highlights the work of local designers.

The gallery, which features mirrors designed by Kelly herself, also showcases the work of Joburg-based textile designer Nicky Levenberg of Aureum Design and modern-vintage light fittings by designer Mia Widlake of Studio 19.

Another Joburg studio, namely Lemon, is responsible for the artworks and wallpaper within the space, while Wolkberg Casting Studios produced a reception desk, boardroom table and basin display with Limesite surfacing.

The contemporary furniture designs by Mpho Vackier of The Urbanative adds to the visual quality of the gallery, while a water-inspired custom glass art installation has been created to feature the work of artist Elonah O’Neil.

“Our new Kohler Gallery is an inspiring and innovative space,” says Kohler Africa’s Commercial Director Ronelle Badenhorst. “I believe it demonstrates our ongoing dedication to providing the South African design community with a sublime aesthetic and cutting-edge tech.”
