New Product Spotlight: KOHLER Touchless Tech

Everything KOHLER touches is marked by sophistication. This is because of their dedication to what they call “Gracious Living” and their commitment to enhancing the lives of all of those who use KOHLER products. The new Graze kitchen faucet collection, and four other touchless favorites, reflect that standard by combining beautiful design with useful technology.

The Designs 

KOHLER’s design collections are ideal for providing a coordinated look throughout a space. Within each collection, you will find a range of configurations, including: Semi-Pro, Pull-Down, Pot Filler and Swing Spouts, in Bar (smaller faucets), and Side Spray (larger faucets). And, each of the styles has a range of finishes to match your kitchen design, including: Polished Chrome, Vibrant Stainless, Matte Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Modern Brass, and Ombre.

The Graze Collection is the latest addition to the KOHLER touchless faucet family, and it is unique from the start with its gracefully soft square design. Americana was the inspiration here, with a base that evokes images of an iron railroad spike leading to a high-arching spout. This faucet is an eye-catching fixture that makes a definite design statement.    

It’s true that many fixtures of kitchen design are square – the room, cabinets, sinks, island, drawers, windows, tile, doors, floors, appliances – but rare is the square kitchen faucet. Graze is a standout because although it is square, it remains graceful and complementary of many design styles.  

The Crue Collection has a modern, sophisticated style. The spouts, whether a simple arch or a straight line set at an angle, have a strong, straightforward design. The slender rod design of the handles found in each configuration is elegantly simple. 

The Sensate Collection celebrates contemporary design with clean, restrained lines. The slightest flair at the end of the faucet head, and the easy curve of the handle support the modern aesthetic.  

The Artifacts Collection has traditional styling packed with vintage flair. Featuring classic design details from the base to the faucet head, this collection proves that powerful technology can coexist beautifully with vintage-inspired good looks.  

The Simplice Collection features a suite of faucets with elegant, versatile styling. These designs have universal appeal and will fit seamless in virtually any style of kitchen — from traditional to contemporary.  

The Technology 

In terms of function, touchless faucet technology means that the water can be turned on or off with a wave of the hand or through voice control. When it comes to everyday practical benefits, this hands-free tech means cookie dough, germs, and fingerprints aren’t transferred to the faucet handles — so your kitchen stays cleaner and more hygienic.

KOHLER Konnect Voice Control is voice-enabled technology that transforms a kitchen faucet into a personal assistant. It allows the user to turn the water on, fill pots, and dispense water in precisely measured amounts. 

Response® Touchless Technology allows the home chef to activate the faucet with the wave of a hand through the sensor window to prep, clean, and cook with ease. The motion-sensing touchless on and off activation helps to limit the spread of germs in the kitchen.  

The KOHLER Konnect App works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and the Apple Home Kit. Resource-conscious users can monitor their water usage and receive app notifications if an unusual water flow is detected.

Design, Function & Style 

These collections blend intelligent design, purposeful function, and expressive style to make kitchen tasks easier and more enjoyable. Kitchens should present solutions for life in a place that brings people together, and these collections do just that.
