Kohler Presents Real Rain

Celebrating nature’s own wondrous talent, Kohler has created a lush oasis against the backdrop of the Museo Bagatti Valsecchi’s Italian Renaissance collection for an exhibit of some of its most artistic bath products. Located at the historic Museo Bagatti Valsecchi, Via Gesù, 5, 20121, Milan, Italy the exhibit takes place from April 5 through April 8, 2017.

The presentation in the historic home includes the international debut of Kohler’s Real Rain experience, a new showering panel that perfectly portrays the sight, sound, and feel of raindrops. The ceiling mounted panel’s patented construction takes high-tech showers to another level of sophistication, simulating an authentic rain shower experiences for the user. The shower is designed with a water reservoir that relies on gravity rather than the typical pressurized spray to shape the water droplets, using 775 concave nozzles to start the feeling of a cloudburst – beginning slowly and then building to a deluge –if desired.

Exhibited in the museum’s Loggia, the open air space enhances the sight and sound of Real Rain’s free fall of water. The architectural arches and columns in the gallery’s background demonstrate just how elegant the Real Rain blends in with either traditional or contemporary interiors.

Additionally, the museum’s Grand Salon features an interior wall of Shagreen sinks rising from a vertical green garden designed by Milan-based landscape architect Derek Castiglioni. Here, the textured appearance of pebbled leather is finished in the color options of Ebony Pearl and Oyster Pearl, weaving together the beauty of sea life with manmade artistry. The latest from Kohler’s Artist Editions collections, these vessels adapt the global Shagreen trend to an otherwise unexpected interiors feature.
