NEW DELHI, October 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

A Range of Four Fabulous Faucets to Accentuate the Art of Sensibility and Minimalist Design Ethos 

KOHLER®, a leading name in the global kitchen and bathroom category, launched its KOHLER® Couture Collection of four fabulous faucets and showering lines, each with a unique design grammar that takes inspiration from human experiences. The new range was launched in India by Mr. David Kohler, President and CEO, Kohler Co. For the first time, KOHLER has associated with fashion designer duo Shivan and Narresh to celebrate the launch of the brand's luxury Couture Collection with a corresponding resort wear line that is being launched by the designers, which is being launched at the opening day of the Amazon India Fashion Week. This collection brings fabulous fashion to your bathroom and is a perfect addition to any bathroom design. The Couture Collection takes bathroom elegance a notch higher, giving you ultimate luxury in your home.

Commenting on the launch of the KOHLER® Couture Collection, Mr. David Kohler, President and Chief Executive Officer, Kohler Co., said, "As India continues to experience a shift in focus towards aesthetically designed homes, at KOHLER, it is our endeavour to design and bring contemporary and modern products to consumers across the country. The Couture Collection is the perfect range for fashion conscious consumers and not only does it add to our luxury segment but also gives the consumers serene luxurious bathroom spaces." 

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Salil Sadanandan, Managing Director, Kohler Kitchen and Bath, India, said, " We are very excited about our association with designer duo Shivan and Narresh for their SS'16 showcase with Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI). This is a first-of-its-kind association for Kohler India and is the perfect amalgamation of a leading swimwear label and KOHLER's new luxury faucet range - The KOHLER® Couture Collection. This collection is inspired, modern, minimalist and sophisticated."

On the launch of Couture Collection, Shivan and Narresh, the designer duo, said, "The Bold Look of Kohler amalgamates beautifully with the bold, confident and sophisticated style synonymous with our brand - the association was natural and exciting. The Kohler Couture Collection has inspiring balance of sharp lines and fluidity that reflects effortlessly in our Spring Summer '16 Collection through a calming colour palette and slender silhouettes." 

Avid: The Sensuous Side of Simple  

Evolving from a minimalist design ethos, the Avid™ faucet collection marries the art of simplicity with dynamic sensibility. Slender arcs, smooth planes and arresting angles bring emotional connection and sensitivity to minimalism without slipping into embellishment or cliché. Each element is an essential part of the whole. Avid brings clarity and comfort to modern interiors. Its purposeful design has an inviting and somewhat feminine form that pairs painstaking simplicity with sensory comfort. A faucet, accessory, showering and bathing collection, Avid delivers design flexibility and complements contemporary living spaces.

Price: Starting Rs 40,000.

Composed: A harmonious balance of material and form 

The Composed™ faucet collection by Kohler is designed for connoisseurs of modern art and architecture. Stripped of non-essential flourishes, 'Composed' embodies simplicity. Clean, classic and quietly confident, it exemplifies refinement among KOHLER® products. Timeless and deliberate, the composed faucet is a nod to historic modernism and the design philosophy of Rowena Reed Kostellow, a professor at Brooklyn's famed Pratt Institute between 1939 and 1968. Kostellow showed her students how to transform basic shapes into visual poems that elicited an emotional response. The Composed faucet embodies Kostellow's theories in its spare and beautifully understated design.

Price Starting: Rs 30,000.

Beitou: The nature of tranquility 

The Beitou™ faucet collection from Kohler strikes a balance between architectural forms and the stunning displays of nature. The result is a peaceful interplay of invention and appeal that speaks to quiet moments of sanctuary. The calming movement of water lies at the heart of the Beitou™ faucet. The effortless flow of the design mimics the natural cascade of the water over the length of the spout and into the sink. Seen in this light, the faucet becomes a stage for water delivery whose shape and sound resembles a serene river.

Price Starting: Rs. 52,000.

Loure Extension: Water clad in metal 

Geometric composition in interior architecture lies behind the design intent of Loure. Its form is linear, planar and almost two dimensional. Water is clad in metal that is seemingly laser-cut and formed from a single sheet. Its width is defined by the intended function; the water stream it provides is an extension of the spout itself. Every piece in the range refers back to this, to provide regimented coordination across the entire bathroom.

Price starting: Rs 40,000.

DTV+: When you take a shower, where does your shower take you? 

Kohler brings water, sound, steam and light together like no one else for the most advanced showering system - The DTV+™ digital showering system. It is a digital thermostatic valve (DTV) system that controls four elements to give you a true multi-sensory showering experience. Every element of your showering experience is completely customizable to your needs and controlled by the touch-screen interface. Giving you a one of its kind heavenly experience, DTV+ stands apart like none other.

Price: Starting Rs 3,49,000.
