Kohler has partnered with Aerin Lauder, founder and creative director of the luxury lifestyle brand AERIN, to introduce the Fleurette Artist Editions Collection, a new range of bathroom fixtures inspired by traditional Delftware ceramics.
The collection brings together Lauder’s interest in floral design and heritage ceramics with Kohler’s expertise in bathroom manufacturing and decorative craftsmanship. It features hand-applied botanical patterns across three established Kohler designs: the Memoirs Stately toilet, Memoirs Stately pedestal sink and Caxton rectangle sink.
The collaboration draws on Lauder’s personal connection to the blue-and-white ceramics collected by her grandmother, Estée Lauder. These pieces helped shape the collection’s visual identity, translating traditional decorative influences into contemporary bathroom products.
The fixtures are crafted from white vitreous china and will be available in two colour combinations: the classic blue-and-white palette associated with Delftware and a softer green-and-white variation. The green option offers a different interpretation of the traditional ceramic style and is designed to complement Kohler’s Heritage Aspen Green fixtures.
Each piece is produced through Kohler’s Artist Editions programme, which combines precision manufacturing with decorative techniques carried out by skilled artisans at the company’s facilities in Kohler, Wisconsin. The programme has brought together art, design and craftsmanship for more than four decades.
For Lauder, the partnership provided an opportunity to reinterpret objects and patterns connected to family memories while creating functional pieces for modern homes. Her approach brings together nostalgia, floral detailing and timeless design.
The collaboration also reflects a wider interest in treating bathrooms as spaces for individual expression, with decorative fixtures becoming an integral part of interior design rather than purely functional elements.
The Fleurette collection became available from 4 November 2026, expanding Kohler’s Artist Editions portfolio with a design-led collaboration that connects heritage craftsmanship with contemporary luxury interiors.
Through the partnership, Kohler and AERIN bring together their respective strengths in product design and lifestyle aesthetics, offering a fresh interpretation of traditional ceramic influences.
