Kohler will use its sponsorship of Olympus Fashion Week to introduce the Purist Hatbox toilet, a product that redefines common perceptions of what the traditional American toilet should look like.

"Like the fashion industry, design is part of the fiber of everything that we do at Kohler to constantly develop new products that enhance the gracious living possible in today's kitchens and bathrooms," said David Kohler. "During our 130-year history -- from introducing the first colors on plumbing fixtures in the 1920s to advancing the home spa with flagship whirlpools and performance showering products -- Kohler has been progressive in making sure the products we create are innovative, bold, and forecast the next trends in home design."

Attendees of New York Fashion Week are the first to see the new Purist Hatbox toilet, on display in the main lobby of Fashion Week. Conventional cues of the traditional toilet are removed as the minimalist inspired electric toilet offers a clean, streamlined aesthetic both visually and physically with its innovative tankless design.

"We continue to witness that the home is growing rapidly as a canvas that more fully reflects the owner's personal style and design taste," explained Kohler. "Therefore, our sponsorship of Fashion Week makes sense and allows us to align ourselves even more closely with the fashion industry and an audience that has a keen interest in creating spectacular design statements in their homes."

Kohler is offering attendees the opportunity to experience the new Purist Hatbox toilet in mobile luxury restrooms. These gracious restrooms offer close-to-home comfort, complete with premium Kohler lavatories and faucets, full-length mirrors, artwork, music, and a temperature-controlled environment.

Kohler has teamed up with Amy Sacco, New York's famed entrepreneur, on her latest restaurant, Bette. Located in the Chelsea area, Bette will host the first permanent installation of the Purist Hatbox toilet in the country and will officially open its doors to guests in late spring.

Kohler provides products for the kitchen and bath.
