Kohler's Best of Show Achievement at KBIS 2026

Kohler Co., a leader in kitchen and bath innovation, proudly announced its receipt of the coveted Best of Show award at the 2026 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). This marks the company's fourth consecutive year achieving this honor, emphasizing Kohler's dedication to design excellence and product innovation.

The remarkable 15,600-square-foot booth was designed to create an immersive experience for visitors, embodying the theme “Step into Possibility.” Attendees were treated to a journey that showcased the brand's rich legacy in craftsmanship and sustainable manufacturing practices, presenting well-honed solutions that resonate with the modern consumer.

Among the highlights of the Kohler booth were numerous new product launches, including the Kohler x Studio McGee Audrine kitchen sink and the Edalyn faucet. Additionally, Kohler unveiled a preview of the stunning Claude smart toilet, set to launch in Summer 2026. Each product within Kohler’s booth was designed not only for functional excellence but also for aesthetic appeal, culminating in an engaging presentation that appealed to design enthusiasts and industry veterans alike.

Kohler further took the opportunity to portray its commitment to wellness and sustainability with a splendid return of the Anthem EvoCycle smart shower, designed with advanced water efficiency in mind. Innovations from the KOHLER WasteLAB were also on exhibit, showcasing sustainable products created from recycled materials, such as the WasteLAB Vox sink in Eggshell and the expanded Transcendence tile collection.

Significantly, Kohler's Dekoda health-sensing system, which can be attached to any toilet bowl, secured the Thirty Under 30 Class of 2026’s Choice Award in both the Health & Wellness and Smart Home categories. This groundbreaking device is tailored to provide accessible information about personal health metrics, such as hydration levels and other vital signs, further reaffirming Kohler's position in health technology advancement.

Another notable accolade this year was the Best of KBIS Silver Most Functional Find award, bestowed upon the PureWash E860 dual-wand bidet seat. This innovative product features the industry's first front bidet wand designed to promote hygiene, redefining standards of cleanliness in the bathroom sector.

Kohler's booth experience included practical demonstrations and opportunities for visitors to engage with products, such as the Leap smart toilet and a range of Billet and Components faucets paired with Synthos workstation sinks. Attendees were also invited to interactively explore the Mix and Match faucet display, which encouraged personalization in kitchen and bathroom designs.

Moreover, the Aquifer 4-in-1 beverage faucet, which provides instant filtered water in various forms—ambient, chilled, sparkling, and boiling—demonstrated Kohler's dedication to innovation in the beverage solutions market.
