Trip to Kohler, WI




I had an amazing time on a tour that I took this week and I thought that I would share a little about my experience with all of you. I got the opportunity thanks to our sponsors Ferguson Kitchen and Bath in Downers Grove, IL as well as Kohler to go on a trip to Kohler, WI and see the Design Center and the Kohler Factories. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for an extremely inspirational experience to go. Take the factory tour and go to the design center and see how things are made and all of the new products that they come up with.

One of the most amazing experiences that I had while there was seeing a factory worker actually pour hot iron into a bathroom sink mold. To be close up and see how things are done when all you ever really see is the finished product is an experience to remember.

The pictures are actual vignettes done by designers to showcase Kohler products as well as the grounds. The one picture above contains a very cool feature that I hadn't seen in person yet, the mirrors. These mirrors actually slide up when you touch them to reveal a medicine cabinet. What makes them even more modern and technologically advanced is that one had a television inside. These amazing cabinets are made by Robern.

I suggest that anyone take this trip and check out all of the amazing features at the Kohler factory as well as to do a little shopping and make a great day of it. I promise you will go home full of ideas and inspiration.
