Kohler Experience Centre Singapore turned one this August and the brand celebrated the milestone with a forum, new product launches and a fabulous party with charity art initiative and a fab laser show.
August 24th, 2018
Last year, Kohler stepped up its immersive marketing game with the opening of the Kohler Experience Centre (KEC) Singapore. Designed by luxury hospitality interior specialist LTW Designworks, the KEC occupies a three-storey conservation shophouse on Peck Seah Street. The KEC offers a global specification service, which allows architects and designers working on international projects to have access to all products across Kohler’s entire global portfolio.
The brand celebrated the opening of the KEC Singapore with much fanfare, including an insightful Pecha Kucha Night organised by Indesign Media Asia at the Working Capitol Keong Siak, and a lavish launch party.
Kohler has opened seven KEC globally. Three of which, all launched last year, are located in Asia – Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan. This August, the brand celebrated KEC Singapore’s first anniversary with an insightful designer’s forum, three new product launches, and another fabulous party.
The three new products are the sleek and smart Sensis intelligent toilet, smart home platform Kohler Konnect, and bathroom accessory line Components.
Highlights of the launch party included a charity art sale featuring artworks created by a curated pool of designers invited to participate by Kohler and a breathtaking laser show. Proceeds from the sales of the artworks (which are bought by developers invited to the event) are going to Kohler’s official charity partner Very Special Arts (VSA) Singapore.

In this candid interview, the culinary mastermind behind Singapore’s Nouri and Appetite talks about food as an act of human connection that transcends borders and accolades, the crucial role of technology in preserving its unifying power, and finding a kindred spirit in Gaggenau’s reverence for tradition and relentless pursuit of innovation.
In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
