Your Studio KOHLER Workspace
Overview
Kohler’s Perspective of the Year provides a design-centered framework for emerging ideas in the global marketplace. Through the Perspective of the Year, we seek to initiate a conversation about the relationship of architecture and design to developments within art, fashion, entertainment, business, lifestyles and other cultural touchstones.
Dimensions of Wellbeing Defined
Dimensions of Wellbeing speaks to the connection between physical spaces and personal wellbeing—how we interact with a space and how it responds to our needs—with an emphasis on our personal habits and hygiene and their role in our mental, physical and spiritual health.
Cleanliness and hygiene have been core values at Kohler for more than 145 years, and we support environments that unite form with function to recognize these basic but crucial needs. By designing spaces that meet our need for hygiene, architects and designers have the power to contribute to wellbeing on personal, social and environmental scales.
Designing Wellbeing
Dimensions of Wellbeing seeks to challenge and inspire architects and designers to think differently about their spaces and how they relate to their occupants’ needs for wellbeing, cleanliness and hygiene.
From the luxurious comfort of a smart toilet to the effortless simplicity of a touchless faucet, bathrooms and kitchens are two of the most important spaces for cleanliness, and Kohler provides the products and technologies that bring new possibilities to familiar spaces.
Dimensions of Wellbeing seeks to empower architects and designers to create spaces with personalized technologies, intuitive experiences and responsive environments that seamlessly unify stunning design with thoughtful functionality.
The bathroom is actually the hub for wellbeing. It's where you take care of yourself. Sometimes it's the only space in which you have privacy and you're able to disconnect. So we see the bathroom evolving. It's not just a task-oriented space, it's a living space.
