Global bathroom designer, Kohler, has released a high calibre range of tapware that brings quality and design within the reach of first home buyers and budget-conscious renovators.
Taut features classic, streamlined design and a high quality polished chrome finish – but it’s what is not visible that sets this tap apart.
Kohler uses the highest quality materials in its state-of-the-art factories that each have a global sustainability goal of net zero by 2035. Each basin and kitchen mixer features durable ceramic valves that have been tested to 1,000,000 on/off cycles – the equivalent of 50 years of domestic use. All hoses are of flexible stainless steel.
There is a 15 year warranty on Taut tapware and the polished chrome finish resists scratching, corrosion and wear to a level that is twice the industry standard.
The Taut collection features a choice of regular and tall basin mixers, each with a user-friendly flat-tab lever, plus a wall mount mixer. Each has a WELS rating of Five stars (less than six litres per minute).
These are supported by shower/bath mixers with and without diverter – featuring the new Slim Trim backing plate – together with a wall mount bath spout.
The tapware collection includes a kitchen mixer featuring the same classically simple, clean lines with goose neck spout and a Five star WELS rating (less than 6 litres per minute).
A popular choice for those seeking bold design and contemporary architectural lines, the original version was favoured throughout Europe, USA and Australia by those seeking a statement piece for their bathroom. This new, slimmer version reflects current trends towards understated design that still showcases strong, modern design.
Stance Slim is primarily a cubic design with a simple, efficient top-mounted joy stick control. The under-surface of the spout is an extension of the main upright column, seemingly formed by the water flow that it contains and delivers.
The Stance Slim Basin Mixer has been simplified in an understated manner.
This new range comprises single lever basin mixer in both regular and tall sizes, hob mount bath spout and wall mount basin mixer. Each of the basin mixers carries a 5 star WELS rating as it uses less than six litres of water a minute.
Featuring a ceramic disc valve, the tapware has a polished chrome surface that features Kohler’s unique corrosion and tarnish-resistant finish.
The Stance Slim range includes basin mixer, tall basin mixer, wall mount basin set and the hob mount spout.
A MASTERPIECE OF MODERN WATER MOVEMENT WINS RED DOT INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARD
Not often can a bathroom tap be described as a piece of art, but on this occasion – the launch of the Composed basin mixer – its embodiment of balance and perfect proportions certainly warrants the accolade!
Using the teachings of Rowena Reed Kostellow, US sculptor, designer and renowned educator, as its inspiration the Kohler design team eliminated all unnecessary details to create a beautifully simple tap with perfect proportions and exceptional ease of control over water flow and temperature adjustment.

“We wanted to elicit an emotional response from all who use Composed – and with its stark beauty and truly refined lines we think we have achieved that,” said Mark Bickerstaffe, Kohler’s Director of New Product Development.
The Composed tapware collection – which has won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award – features a single lever basin mixer, in both regular and Super Tall, plus a three-piece basin set with the choice of either lever or cross handles.Shower/bath mixers, with and without diverter, plus 3-piece bath sets with matching lever or cross handles completes the range.

Greenery, the fresh, zesty yellow-green that is Pantone Colour of the Year 2017 is set to star in fashion, beauty and lifestyle design applications – and most definitely the bathroom!
Greenery in the bathroom. Stillness Hob Mount Basin Set with the Kallos Undercounter Basin,
A colour that is so closely aligned to nature and its ability to revive and restore, renew and revitalise Greenery is a natural choice for bathrooms and one that will team effortlessly with many colour combinations, and countless finishes.
Kohler’s Toobi collection of tapware is a clever way of introducing this beautiful hue to the bathroom – along with towels, soaps and lush, verdant foliage of course.
The Toobi Tall Basin Mixer features with the Chalice Basin.
While the inspiration for this modernist tapware collection was the original, freeform delivery of water – a bamboo pipe – the final execution is unashamedly contemporary, with a lush green pop of colour at its spout! The result is a tumbling, free flow of water in all its natural beauty – and a hit of the soon to be must-have green as the water leaves the spout, in the form of a small, interchangeable insert fitted inside the spout.
The Toobi Basin Mixer features an interchangeable spout insert. Choose from Green, White or Black.
The Toobi Tall Basin Mixer
A touch of ‘greenery’ – the Toobi Basin Mixer spout insert.
The Toobi collection comprises a range of 5 star WELS rated basin and tall basin mixers, bath and shower mixers with and without diverter – and accessories.
Double robe hook, double and single towel bar, hotelier shelf and toilet tissue holder are all included in the accessories range with each piece featuring the same tubular styling as the tapware. Very smart!
Founder and editor of Australia’s most popular interiors blog – INTERIORS ADDICT – Jen Bishop has just completed her own renovation on her recently acquired apartment.
The bathroom and powder room, which was in much need of a makeover, has been transformed with white subway tiles, beautiful beveled pennyrounds, and some very stylish Kohler product including bath, toilet, basin, tapware and accessories!

Jen states that, as a Pom and seven-baths-a-week kinda girl, a large tub was a non-negotiable part of the reno. Hence her bath of choice was the Kohler Evok 1800mm drop-in oval bath, paired with July bath tapware. This is teamed with a Forefront Square basin and matching July basin tapware.
