The collaboration with Arsham comes as part of Kohler's relationship with The

Art Lab Studio (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3332265-1&h=1682008254&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theartlab.studio%2F&a=The+Art+Lab+Studio),

an art marketing and partnership consultancy by Sana Rezwan.

Like much of Arsham's work, Rock.01 is an homage to time. Comprised of

3D-printed vitreous china and hand-poured brass, the sink's vessel blends

modern-day technology with Kohler's nearly 148-year manufacturing legacy into

what can only be described as functional high art. The effects of time are

reflected in the patina of the brass "rock" and achieved through a forced

coercion process.

Kohler's revolutionary method of 3D-printing vitreous china is at the forefront

of innovation in the industry, and the technology itself is what made it

possible to produce Daniel's design which was too complex to produce using

traditional methods.

"Rock.01 melds the future of 3D-printing technology with the most basic methods

of hand-cast brass. It is literally the new resting on top of the old, and I

find that incredibly poetic. Kohler was the ideal partner to bring such a

complex and futuristic design to life," said Arsham.

Arsham's collaboration with Kohler reflects the company's long-standing

commitment to the arts. Since 1873, Kohler's mission has been to contribute to

gracious living through the highest level of design, craftmanship, and

innovation.

Arsham will join David Kohler, President and CEO of Kohler Co., at the Kohler

Living digital event on Nov. 4 to discuss how technology and digital media are

creating new opportunities for expression and feature an overview of this

collaboration. For more information and to register to attend:
