“There has never been anything like it before,” read the advertisements for the Environment enclosure during its short-yet-exciting moment in the spotlight. Introduced in 1977, the Environment was perhaps the most unique and immersive home-spa wellness experience to date. Stepping inside, you could dial up different climates and conditions—from a dry desert heat to a misting tropical rainforest. But the novelty quickly wore off as the large and complex enclosures were a challenge to install, often requiring a crane and specialty electrical and plumbing setups. Kohler’s bid at delivering the perfect on-demand climate was short-lived and the Environment was discontinued within just a few years after launch.
