In the world of home design, even the most ordinary spaces can be a canvas for creativity. Bathrooms, often overlooked, are now becoming a new source of inspiration. Imagine your toilet, lavatory, or bathtub not just as functional fixtures, but as opportunities for artistic expression.

Kohler, a global leader in kitchen and design, marks its 150th anniversary with the theme "Come All Creators." It is showcasing a limited edition "Artist Editions" collection of lavatories, bathtubs, and toilets that are designed with original artworks by four female global creators – Ananda Nahú, ELLE, Pushpa Kumari, and Ziling Wang. These are showcased at the Dexterton showroom in Bonifacio Global City.

During an event to launch “Come All Creators” last month, an auction was held where attendees had the chance to bid on two limited K150 Artist Edition pieces. The proceeds from this auction will be donated to the Gynecologic Oncology Department of the Philippine General Hospital. The pieces up for grabs were the "Falling Gently Collection" by renowned street and graffiti artist ELLE and the "A World on Strings" by Chinese artist Ziling Wang.
