Take a chronological tour of bath and powder rooms and watch as they
evolved from converted closets to luxury centers for leisure and
relaxation. 20th Century Bathroom Design by Kohler is an invaluable
reference to the best in bathroom design during the twentieth century.
More than 400 images are presented here, drawn from advertising and
designer rooms created for the nation's leading plumbing manufacturer,
Kohler Co. of Kohler, Wisconsin. Included are the unforgettable images
from the groundbreaking advertising campaign, The Bold Look of Kohler,
as well as the wonderful artwork resulting from a century of arts
patronage. That art has extended to Kohler's products as well, samplings
of which are shown here, including painted designs for toilets and
sinks, matching tiles, and master- crafted wooden bathroom vanities.
Hundreds of the early products are pictured and identified to help
homeowners and collectors identify their antique plumbing. Photos and
artwork also provide a tour of bathroom design through time, portraying
state-of-the-art rooms that pre-date World War II, and picturing
post-war styles that scream '50s, '60s, and '70s. Plus, there's an
entire gallery of contemporary bathroom design with nearly 150 photos.
