Kohler is pleased to announce its continued partnership with the Kips Bay Decorator Show House as the exclusive kitchen and bath partner with stunning products featured throughout the historic Greenwich Village townhouse at 20 West 12th Street. The six-story, 9,000-square-foot home is open to the public on September 30, marking five decades since the landmark event first began raising funds for the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club.

"We're proud to support the Kips Bay Decorator Show House as it celebrates this major milestone," said Brittany Canniff Kimball, Sr. Marketing Manager, Brand Partnerships & Designers at Kohler. "Our products help these talented designers push creative boundaries, drive attendance through inspirational designs, and support youth programs across New York City."

Kohler products are featured in 12 of the rooms throughout the home and enable designers to create highly differentiated spaces, from a teal-colored freestanding cast iron bathtub in the second-floor bathroom to an innovative smart toilet in the fifth-floor suite.

Partnering with esteemed designers embeds the Kohler brand in a larger story of a designer masterpiece, where the world's most influential creatives employ selections from Kohler's product portfolio as a part of their creative legacy all in one extraordinary home.

Throughout the Show House, designers Andrea Schumacher, Tiffany Skilling, Cathy Cherry, Eve Robinson, James Huniford, James Dolenc and Tom Riker use Kohler's premium colors and finishes. They've incorporated Kohler's Heritage Colors including Teal, Aspen Green, and Peachblow from the Kohler archives that reintroduce historical Kohler colors to the new generation. The Show House includes Dune-colored enameled Cast Iron product and Kohler's striking French Gold, Brushed Bronze, and Matte Black faucet finishes.

Miami-based designer Tamara Feldman chose to incorporate the AnthemTM Smart Shower, which uses a digital control that lets users set exact water temperatures and monitor water usage. Brooklyn-based designer Leyden Lewis selected the new SynthosTM Workstation Sink for the third-floor library and kitchenette, which includes built-in luxury accessories. Christopher Peacock also used the new functional, luxe sink for his kitchen. In the fourth-floor bathroom, Melanie Roy selected the VeilTM Smart Toilet, part of Kohler's line up of innovative and design-forward toilets which includes customizable settings for a bidet wand, water pressure, and water temperature.  

"This partnership demonstrates Kohler's deep commitment to design excellence and community support," said Nazira Handal, Director of Special Events and Corporate Partnerships at Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. "Their products help our designers create spaces that inspire visitors and raise critical funds supporting programs that serve more than 11,000 young children."

Since 1973, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House has raised millions of dollars for after-school programs in the Bronx. The event now includes locations in Palm Beach and Dallas, where Kohler continues to support.

Tickets for the New York show house start at $50 and will run through October 19.
