Kohler Oblo Faucet Collection Offers Contemporary European Design With Global Appeal

May 8, 2008

New KOHLER Oblo® bath and shower faucets exude a refreshed view of contemporary design created in the company’s European design studios with a global audience in mind. Launched in the United States at the 2008 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show, this collection features a modern, geometric architecture for functional but elegant faucetry. The common design thread is the fluid oblong shape that is mirrored in the spouts as well as the handles and matches all bathroom fixture shapes from round to angular.

“Design professionals and consumers with a taste for contemporary style will love the versatility of the Oblo collection and the breadth of the range,” says Sara Maduscha, senior product manager for KOHLER Global Faucets. “The sleek, geometrically inspired aesthetic and multiple configurations and applications offer a coherent and stylish solution for any modern bathroom design.”
