Kohler turned heads in 1929 when its modern bathroom, featuring first-of-their-kind, all-black plumbing fixtures, was featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The exhibit was created in collaboration with prominent NYC skyscraper architect Ely Jacques Kahn and captured the evolution of home design at the time, giving rare attention to the workhorse spaces of the home like the bathroom and kitchen. A significant moment in Kohler history, the Met exhibit brought to life the company’s commitment to the artful design of ordinary household fixtures.
