I recently had the opportunity to visit the Kohler Experience in Kohler, Wisconsin. I had three fun days learning all about Kohler and Sterling products.
My room had an air tub with body sprays that I could hardly wait to try. First, I got to try out the VibrAcustic tub. It was relaxing to sit in a tub that played music while feeling the vibrations move through my body. The chromatherapy lights were so soothing.
I visited the Design Center to see all the products in one place. I enjoyed the “Great Wall of China”, a wall filled with Kohler’s china products. The next day, I had a factory tour to see how the products are made. Some of these talented people working there are third-generation. Some products are made by machines, but some are made by hand. It was a three-hour and three-mile walk, but it was worth it. My last day was filled with classes on all the product lines.
As a designer, I’ve learned to “change with the times”. If we can’t grow as designers, we become obsolete. It was a great learning experience that I will apply to my design experience at R.J. Tilley to meet the needs of our clients.
