Every Arts/Industry residency begins the same way: with curiosity, collaboration, and a blank slate. What happens next is as unique as the individuals involved—more than 500 artists and thousands of industrial artisans over the past 50+ years. Since 1974, in collaboration with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, we’ve invited artists-in-residence to create alongside our skilled Pottery and Foundry associates, learning from one another, experimenting with new materials, and turning challenges into creative breakthroughs. The experience is hands-on and collaborative. The results speak for themselves. Discover more about the program:
Driving change—one swing at a time. 🏌️ 144 golfers hit the course in support of something bigger—raising funds for two impactful veteran-focused organizations: Caddie School for Soldiers, which helps veterans transition to civilian life through connection and training, and Taskforce Uplift supporting the children and families of service members. Hosted by the Kohler Alliance for Veterans and Supporters (KAVS) business resource group at our very own Whistling Straits, the 4th annual Veterans Alliance Charity Golf Outing raised more than $120K and brought together corporate sponsors, nonprofits, and the military community—all united in support of those who’ve served. #Veterans #AltogetherKohler #BecomeMoreAtKohler

Jesse Lemel, co-president of our BOLD Ability business resource group, represented Kohler at the Seramount EmERGe Conference with an incredible panel discussion on “Turning ERG Insight into Enterprise Value.” He shared how BOLD Ability, which is dedicated to creating a disability-friendly workplace and community, is intentionally connecting inclusion to business impact—bringing forward real Kohler stories of inclusive facility design, team integration and camaraderie, community partnerships, and innovation driven by lived experience of our associates. Inclusion, when embedded into our products, processes, and services, not only enhances engagement but drives meaningful and measurable business results.
At Kohler Co., sustainability isn’t about asking people to do more with less—it’s about designing better experiences that naturally use fewer resources. That’s why we’re proud to be a founding partner of the 50L Home Coalition and a contributor to the Los Angeles Pilot, where real families put innovative products to the test in real homes. The results speak for themselves: 💧 Households reduced water use by 25%—down to an average of 79 liters per person per day ⚡ Hot water use dropped 44%, driving meaningful energy and emissions reductions 🚿 One-gallon-per-flush KOHLER toilets and high‑efficiency showerheads delivered savings without changing daily routines 🏡 Participants reported a 4.3/5 improvement in quality of life Proof that sustainability and comfort don’t have to compete. As climate and water challenges grow, collaborations like 50L Home show what’s possible when industry leaders come together to rethink how homes are designed, built, and lived in. #EarthDay #SustainableDesign #WaterInnovation #50LHome
In 1927, Kohler changed kitchens and bathrooms forever. Six original ✨ color ✨ collections sparked a new world of design innovation in the most functional of spaces.

Today, this story—and so many others—lives on in the #Kohler Archives, carefully detailing and preserving our 153-year legacy. Want more Kohler lore?
