Design and function: Customizable faucets by Kohler

Aug 21, 2019

Bathroom Design Faucets

The smallest details can make the biggest difference in a design, and when it comes to bathroom faucets, finding the perfect balance in the spout and handle isn’t as simple as it might seem. But Kohler is giving designers and their clients more creative control with its Components line, which features spouts and handles that can be combined interchangeably for a distinct look that suits each client’s space and personality.

Dozens of unique faucet combinations

Minimalist and contemporary, the Components collection features three spouts (two of which come in regular and tall heights) and four handle styles, each available in polished chrome and matte black finishes — which means up to 40 different combinations are possible. This new approach to faucet design is understandably appealing to both designers and clients. Each component is luxurious, chic and made with high-quality materials, and the unique combinations make a striking statement in any bathroom design.

It starts with the spout. The square-edged Ribbon Spout has a tall, slim profile and elegant arch reminiscent of a ribbon. The Row Spout has a more industrial feel, combining crisp angles and both cylindrical and rectangular shapes. The simplest, yet most modern of the three options is the Tube Spout, which looks exactly as you’d imagine: a chunky tube, with a gentle arch that draws the eye in. Both the Ribbon and Tube are available in regular and tall heights.

The handles offer as much variety in style as the spouts, allowing clients to find a personalized pairing. The Oyl Handle has a vintage vibe with its dimpled dial-like design, yet it feels unmistakably modern and fresh in the bathroom. The Industrial Handle, meanwhile, takes its cues from factories, with influences including machine valves and factory pipes. Even the Lever Handle is a cut above what you might expect in this type of handle thanks to its thin profile but hefty depth, reminiscent of manufacturing-style levers. The most novel, modern option is the Rocker Handle, a single control that functions with a fluid back-and-forth motion — a contemporary departure from lever and knob styles.

Choose Your Handle

Kohler’s faucet functionality is grounded in precision

Kohler didn’t only develop this curated collection with aesthetics in mind — these faucets function beautifully, too. Delicate precision is built into the design, for accurate control of flow and water temperature. Handles move in smooth, graceful motions, and laminar flow of the water along with hidden aerators create an organic water flow, forming an experience that looks and feels luxurious.

Creating a cohesive look with bath faucets and accessories

For a cohesive look throughout the space, Kohler also offers Components valve trims for the bath, with Oyl, Lever and Industrial handles. The venerable kitchen and bath brand also offers a range of accessories, including knobs, hooks, towel bars and toilet tissue holders that allow designers to round out each client’s individual space.
