Kohler presents Transcendence by Nada Debs
For this year’s fair, Kohler unveils a partnership with global artist/designer, Nada Debs. Together, they present Trancendence, a custom hammam that will offer a three-room immersive experience for visitors to Design Miami/2022. The installation, along with various onsite and digital activations, pays homage to cultural inclusivity, environmental sustainability, and heritage through design and innovation. Reimagining our approach to waste, the hammam is constructed from hand-crafted custom tiles designed by Nada Debs and the Kohler WasteLAB team, which is known for finding value in landfill-bound material. The custom tile used in the hammam utilises waste material in both the tile body and glaze. It is beautifully designed to mimic the arch aesthetic of traditional hammams, offering a visual parallel between the rebirth of waste material and the spiritual and emotional rejuvenation that hammam guests experience.
“Having the opportunity to design a modern hammam at Design Miami/ truly embodies the sentiment that well-being transcends all culture,” says Nada Debs. “I am excited to offer such a unique experience to the industry.”
