Art has entered the bathroom in the lushest, most dramatic way. Kohler has released its latest collection of Artist Edition basins — four models inspired by the Dutch Masters of the 17th century and aptly called the Dutchmaster Collection.

Big, bold, lush florals, dramatically enhanced by a deeply dark, moody background adorn the entire surface of the basin’s interior. Two separate designs, Blush Floral and Midnight Floral, are available in either a round or rectangular vessel basin.

Blush Floral is a vivid mass of large scale peonies, dahlias, ranunculus and hydrangeas in lush colours of blush pink, ivory and darkest rose on an onyx background. And for delicate relief? A beautiful painted lady butterfly poised on a single stem.

Midnight Floral is deeper, moodier and brimming with intense colour — purples, dusky pinks and violet blues — dramatically lit in the style of a chiaroscuro painting. Capturing the movement and lush beauty of heady blooms, the design is further enhanced with the perfect depiction of a blue swallowtail butterfly.

Kohler’s Dutchmaster collection was created in collaboration with florography artist Ashley Woodson Bailey who is renowned for her hauntingly beautiful floral photography.

The vessel basins have been designed to sit proudly on the vanity and feature a subtle, defining lift at the edge of the bowl. They can be paired with wall mount or bench mount mixer taps, and due to their rich colouring will suit many of Kohler’s metal finishes, from polished and rose gold to vibrant brushed bronze, titanium and brushed nickel.

These beautiful, full bloom works of art are featured on two styles of basin — the Carillon rectangle Wading Pool and the Carillon Round Wading Pool.

Kohler’s Artist Editions Dutchmaster collection of basins, in Midnight Floral and Blush Floral, are available nationally from selected Kohler distributors nationwide.
