During this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week, KOHLER will be relaunching its London Experience Centre (KEC) with a week of exciting collaborations and conversations. 

KOHLER is set to unveil a collaboration with UK artist and fashion designer Jack Irving. Inspired by KOHLER’s new digital showering range Statement™ and Anthem™, Future Splash represents a cohesive fusion of water and technology. The pop up window installation signifies the beautiful organic profile of water when captured in slow motion, with a wearable element which radiates the spectacular forms created when water is energized by technology.

Reflecting the chrome and matt black finishes of some of KOHLER’s ranges, the piece is a hybrid of both visual art and interpretive fashion and will be the catalyst for conversation throughout the week. 

The London KEC has been closed for a few months to allow for a full refurbishment of the space, which will now offer a creative design hub for architects and specifiers across Europe and beyond.
