50 years ago – Kohler makes a colourful introduction
The February 11, 1965, issue of Kohler People may have been printed in black and white, but the story was quite colourful. Fifty years ago, Kohler introduced a new trend in plumbing fixtures—the accent colour.
Since the 1920s, Kohler had been producing fixtures in an assortment of pastel colours, but it was not until 1965 that they unveiled five bold hues to be used as accents—Espresso, Jade, Citron, Blueberry and Antique red.
According to the newsletter, “The introduction of Accent colours comes at a time when decorators are using much deeper colours and more striking combinations of colours than ever … Kohler Co. is the first to find a way to fit plumbing fixture into that trend.”
And even today, Kohler continues to lead the way with it’s bold and innovative design. Watch this space to find out what we’re launching next …
