Kohler unveils a new Artist Editions collaboration with AERIN founder and creative director Aerin Lauder, introducing the Fleurette Collection. Inspired by the heritage of traditional Delftware, the collection brings hand-applied floral motifs to three iconic Kohler fixtures.

Crafted in white vitreous china and rooted in the tradition of Delft tiles, the collection comprises three Kohler classics: the Memoirs Stately toilet, Memoirs Stately pedestal sink, and Caxton rectangle sink. Offered in two colorways, a traditional blue-and-white palette and a soft green-and-white option, the trio transforms functional fixtures into decorative bath forms. The green variation offers a fresh interpretation of Delftware, drawing on Lauder’s growing appreciation for the color and bringing what she describes as a garden-inspired sensibility into the home.

Lauder’s vision for the collaboration stems from the blue-and-white ceramics that filled her grandmother Estée Lauder’s home. “My grandmother taught me to appreciate beautiful objects and the stories they carry,” she says. “I wanted to create pieces that feel timeless, objects that could become part of a family’s home and be enjoyed for years to come.”

Having long admired the way Kohler elevates everyday spaces through design, Lauder was particularly drawn to the opportunity to work with its Artist Editions collection. Celebrating the intersection of art and craftsmanship for more than 40 years, the initiative combines precision manufacturing with decorative techniques executed by skilled artisans in Kohler, Wisconsin. The partnership not only reflects Lauder’s deeply personal perspective on the collection, but also underscores Kohler’s commitment to luxury design innovation.

Despite its centuries-old tradition, Lauder feels there is “something incredibly fresh about Delftware.” As bathrooms increasingly become opportunities for individual style and expression throughout the home, the collaboration between Kohler and AERIN merges heritage with enduring design, creating what Lauder describes as a “natural way to blend artistry, craftsmanship, and nostalgia, while creating something that feels modern and timeless for today’s interiors.”
