Installation, Terminal 02 and limited edition smart toilet, Formation 02
Kohler unveils a large-scale installation, Terminal 02, and a new limited-edition smart toilet, Formation 02, in partnership with artist and designer Dr Samuel Ross MBE and his industrial design studio, SR_A, marking the second iteration of the Kohler x SR_A multi-year partnership.
Formation 02’s expressive brutalist sculptural form invites visitors to reconsider the materiality of the toilet, while integrating Kohler’s latest cutting-edge technologies. The new piece is on display at the heart of Terminal 02, an immersive installation at the Palazzo del Senato.
Terminal 02 is a labyrinthine network of industrial pipes leading to Formation 02. The experience allows visitors to witness the flow of water in various shapes and levels, fusing concepts of flow and control with discovery and play, using natural landscape elements juxtaposed with industrial engineering. Located within the grand pillars of the historic Palazzo del Senato, the industrial and brutalist products and installations reflect its classical architectural elements against the sky. The installation, which pays homage to traditional craftsmanship while pushing boundaries to redefine perspectives on water, embodies the philosophy shared between Kohler and SR_A.
