Kohler Co. has introduced an expansive brand showcase titled Step into Possibility at the 2026 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas, inviting visitors into a fully realised environment centred on innovation, collaboration and environmental responsibility. Occupying 15,600 square feet at booth W1700, the installation moves beyond a conventional trade display, guiding guests through a carefully staged experience focused on craftsmanship, performance and wellbeing.

Visitors enter through a recreation of the original Wisconsin foundry gates set against a cream city brick backdrop, acknowledging Kohler’s heritage in cast iron manufacturing dating back to 1873. The tribute also highlights the company’s ongoing focus on responsible production. A video presentation led by Cast Iron Ambassador Martha Stewart offers a look inside the factory, where many of the company’s signature kitchen and bathroom products are produced using at least 80 per cent recycled materials.

Kohler’s partnership with interior design studio Studio McGee is presented through a large-scale installation featuring the new Audrine fireclay kitchen sink collection, paired with the Edalyn kitchen tap. Attendees are also given a preview of the forthcoming Claude bathroom range, conceived as a coordinated suite that enables cohesive styling across the space. A standout piece within this collection is the Claude One-Piece Smart Toilet, combining advanced functionality with a form inspired by traditional furniture.

A concept titled House Party transforms the stand into a series of residential-style settings that celebrate personal expression at home. Developed with designers including Laura Hodges, Monica Santayana and Ronald Alvarez of Moniomi, Cara Woodhouse, Jaime Rummerfield, Javier Burkle, Jaimee Rose and Michael Hilal, the exhibit features kitchens, bathrooms, bar areas and wellness spaces. Among the highlights are the Kohler C1 indoor sauna, the C2 outdoor sauna, the Kohler x Remedy Place Ice Bath and the Anthem+ smart shower equipped with Invigoration Steam technology.

Water conservation is addressed through the Anthem EvoCycle smart shower, a recirculating dual-mode system capable of delivering up to 80 per cent water savings when operating in Cycle Mode while maintaining full flow performance. A live demonstration allows visitors to explore its digital controls and see behind-the-wall components that illustrate how efficiency and engineering work together. The Parallel 1.25 gpm showerhead further demonstrates Kohler’s approach, offering an immersive spray experience at roughly half the flow rate of a standard showerhead.

Sustainable design is also represented through KOHLER WasteLAB creations. The display includes new WasteLAB planters intended for indoor and outdoor settings, along with WasteLAB Transcendence tiles now available in Emerald and Amber finishes. The WasteLAB Vox basin, made from more than 70 per cent recycled material derived from Kohler’s own manufacturing processes, is now offered in an Eggshell colourway.

Artistic craftsmanship features prominently in the Artist Editions collection. A finish called Pearlised gives ceramic surfaces an iridescent quality, transforming everyday fixtures into statement pieces.

In the kitchen zone, working demonstrations showcase Billet and Components taps alongside Strive sinks and the newly introduced Synthos workstation sink. Making its first appearance is the Aquifer 4-in-1 beverage tap, which dispenses filtered ambient, chilled, sparkling and boiling water from a single fixture at the touch of a button. An interactive Mix and Match wall encourages visitors to experiment with customised combinations across bathroom tap ranges including Components, Occasion and Artifacts.

Smart toilet innovation remains a priority. The Leap smart toilet with dual-wand bidet and the PureWash E860 dual-wand bidet seat both incorporate front bidet wand technology designed to support women’s hygiene, marking an industry-first approach in this category.

Kohler Health is also making its debut at the show with Dekoda, a health-sensing device that fits onto the toilet bowl. The system monitors hydration and digestive health indicators and can detect blood in the bowl, offering users data to help build healthier habits at home.

The STERLING brand is introducing several additions, including the Sentra toilet seat, expanded GUARD+ shower bases, a preview of the Reserve 60-inch by 32-inch Vikrell wall set and Valton kitchen sinks constructed from 18-gauge stainless steel. New premium commercial offerings are also on display, moving beyond standard white and chrome finishes to provide more distinctive options for high-end commercial environments.

The experience concludes at Foundry Cat, a temporary café inspired by the Kohler, Wisconsin luxury resort, serving speciality coffees and Kohler Original Recipe chocolates to visitors completing the guided tour.

Throughout the event, Kohler is hosting panel discussions moderated by Carisha Swanson and featuring industry figures such as Shea McGee, Monica Santayana, Ronald Alvarez, Javier Burkle, Jaimee Rose, Michael Hilal, Cara Woodhouse, Jaime Rummerfield, Laura Hodges, Laura Kohler and Miquel Hutton of Toll Brothers.

The stand has been realised with support from brand partners including Benjamin Moore, Cosentino, GE Monogram and Café, and FreePower.
