Founded in 1873, KOHLER, the American kitchen and bath brand with a rich 150-year history, has officially entered Taiwan’s premier Xinyi District with a new flagship store in Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A9. Following successful openings in Taichung’s Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Zhonggang store and Kaohsiung’s Dream Mall, this latest expansion solidifies Taiwan as a key market in KOHLER's Asia-Pacific strategy. The new store not only enhances the brand's luxury image but also leverages the consistent foot traffic and consumer appeal of the Xinyi shopping district—often referred to as "Taipei’s Manhattan"—to further promote KOHLER's vision of "gracious living."

➤ The SpaViva handheld showerhead features full IPX7 waterproofing and utilizes powerful magnetic attachments to connect with various brush heads, including a facial cleansing brush, exfoliating brush, body massager, and back scrubber, catering to a wide range of bathing needs.

The newly opened flagship store celebrates KOHLER’s 150th anniversary through a thoughtfully designed space that reflects the brand’s storied legacy. A key feature is the "150th Anniversary Wall," which highlights significant milestones in the company’s history. Established in 1873 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, by founder John Michael Kohler, the brand continues to honor his philosophy: “Every KOHLER product must represent the highest standards of its time.” Over the past century and a half, KOHLER has remained dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for present and future generations through exceptional design, craftsmanship, and innovation. Upholding its founder’s bold and innovative spirit, KOHLER continues to challenge conventions in the kitchen and bath industry. Following the launch of the “singing showerhead,” the Moxie 2.0, KOHLER introduces the SpaViva Multi-functional Beauty Showerhead and the WaterMind™ Pressure-Adaptive Showerhead in 2023, offering transformative and innovative showering experiences.

➤ The SpaViva back scrubber incorporates a retractable design, solving the common issue of reaching difficult areas like the back.

➤ The SpaViva facial cleansing brush is equipped with soft silicone bristles and utilizes MicroBubble Technology to generate ionized reactions, effectively removing oil, dirt, and makeup residue.

The facial cleansing brush is equipped with soft silicone bristles and MicroBubble Technology, which generates microbubbles that penetrate pores, effectively removing oil, dirt, and makeup residue. This feature is particularly popular among female consumers, leaving the skin hydrated and radiant. The body scrubber, with its extendable design, resolves the common issue of hard-to-reach back areas. The exfoliating brush, crafted from natural stone, gently removes dead skin from elbows and feet. The body massager, paired with adjustable water temperatures and three intensity settings, helps relieve tension in areas like the shoulders and calves, promoting relaxation. Designed with a Type-C charging port, SpaViva is travel-friendly and convenient for on-the-go use.

WaterMind™ : Revolutionary Bionic Pressure Technology

➤ KOHLER introduces the industry-first WaterMind™ bionic pressure-adaptive technology, solving the issue of inconsistent shower experiences under varying water pressures.

In older buildings, inconsistent water pressure often disrupts shower experiences. While pressure boosters are a common solution, KOHLER engineers sought inspiration from nature to create WaterMind™, an industry-first bionic pressure-adaptive technology that ensures a consistent shower experience across varying water pressures. This innovation not only meets international LEED water efficiency standards but also delivers a luxurious and eco-friendly showering experience. The WaterMind™ Multi-functional Showerhead features 0.1mm precision nozzles that adjust automatically to maintain optimal spray strength regardless of water pressure. When not in use, the nozzles close automatically, preventing dripping and reducing limescale buildup, thereby extending the product's lifespan.

BRT and BRD : KOHLER’s New Palette of Elegance

➤ This year, KOHLER unveiled the new PVD finish “Brushed Titanium” (BRT).

In addition to functionality, KOHLER places great emphasis on bathroom aesthetics. Its proprietary Vibrant® PVD coating technology has introduced over ten stunning finishes that add a touch of elegance to bathroom spaces. This four-layer coating passes rigorous 96-hour salt spray tests, providing superior resistance to rust and scratches while maintaining a lasting sheen. This year, KOHLER unveiled two new finishes: Brushed Titanium (BRT) and Brushed Rose Gold (BRD). These finishes, compatible with popular faucet collections like Components, Composed, and Parallel, offer designers and homeowners greater versatility.

➤ This year, KOHLER also launched the new PVD finish “Brushed Rose Gold” (BRD).

Brushed Titanium exudes a sophisticated metallic elegance, with subtle color variations under different lighting that convey a sense of modernity and understated luxury. In contrast, Brushed Rose Gold combines warm, feminine tones with earthy neutrals, offering a soft glow that complements a variety of interior styles without overwhelming them. Both finishes exemplify KOHLER’s innovation and adaptability in modern bathroom design, bringing unique elegance and luxury to any space. Whether enhancing contemporary or traditional interiors, KOHLER’s signature finishes add a refined touch that elevates the ambiance of any bathroom.
