Having already collaborated on the very successful Kohler Experience Centre in Delhi, the largest of its kind in India, the brief for the Bengaluru centre was ambitious - to surpass all expectations. With this space spread across two floors, the challenge was to create an engaging vertical connection to ensure a seamless guest experience. A significant aspect of their brief was to create an intuitive user journey through the space, ensuring that visitors could effortlessly navigate through the space independently.

A radial reception desk extending into a cafe counter sets an intended welcoming tone for the space. Light, sculptural cane furniture allows flexibility in adapting the space for hosting events and cocktail gatherings, with the counter converting into a bar when needed.

The Cafe also features 5 art capsules displaying Kohler's 150th year collection created by 5 artists from 5 different countries. Alongside, surface-mounted artist-edition vessels, imbue the space with the essence of an art gallery.

A sculptural, curved staircase leads to the upper level, enclosing a double-height water feature. Metal mesh railings embody lightness and transparency, <rt-red>offering captivating views of the central water feature.<rt-red>

Behind this lies The Gallery, at the core of which is a mirrored cube housing 6 distinct bathroom suites with varied themes, designed by 6 prominent architects.

Ascending to the first floor, guests enter The Lab, featuring live Kohler fixtures that allow one to truly experience the water pressure and functionality of each product firsthand.

After exploring and being inspired by these preceding spaces, customers finally arrive at The Warehouse—an exhaustive display of Kohler's product range, where they can make personalised selections tailored to their homes, preferences and budgets - an experience akin to visiting a gift shop at the end of a museum
