Kohler's smart home products for the kitchen and bath aim to make moments better, whether that be through simple innovations or immersive wellness experiences. Stillness Infinity Experience upgrades bathing into a sanctuary for self-care and well-being by creating a transformative, sensory experience. Taking cues from the relaxing effects of nature, Stillness Infinity Experience provides a deep sense of tranquility and peace. Water, lighting, fog and essential oils converge to create an immersive journey of the senses designed to relax the mind, soothe the body, and renew the spirit. It starts with water filling from the bottom of the bath, overflowing into the Hinoki wood moat to create a soothing sound. Water from the moat recirculates into the bath, after passing through a filter. This allows for the experience of overflowing water and a maintained temperature up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, without having to add more water. Full spectrum lighting surrounds the bath, creating a chromatherapy experience. Fog envelopes the surface of the water, immersing the bather, and essential oils can be added into the bath's experience tower which emits aromas to stimulate the senses and promote relaxation.
Stillness Infinity Experience also offers preset experience journeys to promote an overall feeling of wellbeing. The journeys take their inspiration from the senses invoked by the beauty of natural surroundings, like sunrise on the sea and a walk through the forest. Each journey allows the user to orchestrate specific overflow speeds and sequences of light, fog, and aromas to completely immerse the senses and quiet the mind.
