Global kitchen and bath brand Kohler has once again partnered with renowned New York contemporary artist Daniel Arsham to present Arsham in Kohler—a one-of-a-kind immersive art experience. This collaboration brings to life the Arsham Cabin, an extraordinary holiday retreat crafted for global travelers seeking luxury wrapped in artistic expression.
Daniel Arsham, famous for his ‘future relics’ concept, deconstructs the passage of time through eroded, fossil-like sculptures that blur the lines between past, present, and future. His artistic philosophy aligns seamlessly with Kohler’s spirit of innovation and bold creativity. The ongoing partnership between Kohler and Arsham has resulted in remarkable projects such as the Rock.01 3D-printed sink and the installation Divided Layers. Now, this collaboration evolves to new heights on the shores of Lake Michigan, blending high-end design with exceptional craftsmanship to create the Arsham Cabin.
At Destination Kohler, Kohler’s luxury resort in Wisconsin, Arsham personally designed the Arsham Cabin as part of the Kohler Cabin Collection. Perched dramatically on a lakeside cliff, the cabin features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an expansive wrap-around porch, and a zen garden adorned with sculptural installations. Every aspect of the interior—from furniture to decorative pieces—reflects Arsham’s signature aesthetic, creating a seamless dialogue between art and daily living. This retreat redefines escapism by transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Arsham in Kohler is not just a hospitality project but an artistic platform where contemporary art meets nature. Guests can admire Arsham’s personal collection in the cabin’s gallery-like storage spaces, while expansive lake views unfold by the fireplace. Six of Arsham’s iconic bronze eroded sculptures—including representations of Melpomene, Venus, Pikachu, a Porsche 911, and a pentaprism camera—are strategically placed throughout the resort, inviting visitors to engage in a dialogue between design, time, and nature.
Destination Kohler, widely recognized for its world-class golf courses and spa facilities, now expands its artistic footprint through this collaboration, attracting art enthusiasts and Arsham’s global fanbase alike. This project enhances the resort’s cultural appeal, adding depth to Kohler’s long-standing commitment to blending artistry with luxury living.
The Arsham Cabin also reflects meticulous craftsmanship in every detail. Its distinctive bronze-green roof finish, created in collaboration with Arsham and Malbon Golf Club, adds a bold visual identity to the cabin’s exterior. Inside, Kohler’s Landshapes™ bathroom collection, co-designed with Arsham, draws inspiration from nature, with organic, irregular lines that reflect the artist’s signature style. The bathroom tiles, sourced from Kohler WasteLAB, are made from recycled materials, including surplus ceramic from Kohler’s own bathtubs, sinks, and toilets—further exemplifying Kohler’s dedication to sustainable luxury.
The Arsham Cabin is more than a luxurious retreat; it represents the convergence of high-end hospitality and artistic innovation. Kohler’s ongoing collaboration with Daniel Arsham pushes the boundaries of home design, elevating ordinary spaces into artistic sanctuaries. Looking forward, Kohler will continue to pursue forward-thinking design initiatives, driven by craftsmanship and the relentless pursuit of creative excellence.
