Kohler always has something to bring to the table, or bathroom as it were. At the recent Kitchen and Bath Industry Show, two new products stood out for me: the Karbon lavatory faucets and the Katagami wading pool lavatory.
The faucets are cool because they bring the convenient articulating and spraying functions of many kitchen faucets into the bathroom, where they’re often needed just as much (men, think how nice it would be to adjust the faucet while you are shaving; women, think how nice it would be to spray those globs of your man’s blue toothpaste down the sink without any contact with the gooey stuff). As for the caste-bronze Katagami basin, it’s just a simple, lovely design that will patina over time and make for an elegant touch in a powder room.
