I visited the Kohler factory in Wisconsin last fall, and I was impressed by how many of its manufacturing processes are still done by hand: ceramic sinks are sponged down as they air dry in a warm room, and many of their cast-iron sinks and baths (especially those in unique colours) are still colour-coated by hand.
It’s part of what makes it possible for them to launch this great new colour set from quirky (and colour-loving) designer Jonathan Adler. The shades he’s developed aren’t for the faint of heart, but in an all-white bathroom, a sink in one of four Adler colours (cool Greenwich green, poppy Piccadilly Yellow, soothing Palermo Blue and rich Annapolis Navy) adds just the right amount of wow.
Jonathan Adler collection, from $343, available in Vancouver and Calgary at The Ensuite Bath and Kitchen, kohler.ca
