In 1954, the first color television was brought into living rooms across the world, waving in an era of vibrancy. Pop Art, tech optimism, and the bright, futuristic palettes of midcentury design rang in newfound enthusiasm for color. That liveliness has since fallen out of vogue, overshadowed by swaths of millennial gray and hushed palettes. 

Kohler invites color back into the home. Through the first week of December, the home appliance brand hosts All For Color: A Love Letter 100 Years in the Making at Design Miami. The exhibition celebrates a century of color-matched fixtures, championing the idea that everyday essentials can be a catalyst – not an inhibitor – of imagination. Through plum bathtubs, chartreuse sinks, cyan water fountains, or rosy toilets, Kohler shows the range of color in even the most utilitarian spaces.

The exhibition features rare archival objects, original artworks, advertisements, and product prototypes that tell the full story of Kohler’s innovations in the home. The booth is just one of 75 exhibitions at Design Miami, an international forum and marketplace for avant-garde furniture, lighting, jewelry, textiles, and art. 

Your appliances are likely pristine porcelain, untouched and unassuming, used without a second thought. Kohler reinvents the everyday, with color.
