Water droplets, amorphic forms, and chiseled stone were among the starting points for noted New York-based visual artist Daniel Arsham as he imagined the Landshapes collection for Kohler. To forge the freestanding tub, he used Lithocast: the manufacturer’s stone-look solid-surface acrylic designed to feel warm to the touch and comfortable against your skin. Lithocast is something of a chameleon, able to be molded into all manner of curvy, organic, or even geometric forms—perfect for rendering the tub’s melting-ish form. (Oh: and the material is easy to clean.) The collection encompasses a pendant light and sconce, a vessel sink, faucet handles and decorative hardware, a toilet, WasteLAB tiles, and a gently amorphous mirror framed in carved birch. Arsham also designed six large-scale sculptures that face Lake Michigan on the brand’s resort property, flanking a private luxury guest cabin outfitted with the full Landshapes series.
