Kohler Launches Most Advanced Toilet Yet—Numi

The art of seeking the very best that life has to offer is reaching new heights this spring. Kohler Co. – a global leader in kitchen and bath design and technology – has upped the ante of maintaining a sophisticated lifestyle with the debut of the KOHLER Numi toilet with bidet functionality.

With Numi’s standards of excellence and performance, high levels of personal technology, and forward-looking design, this WaterSense and CALGreen-certified “smart toilet” is truly the ultimate flushing experience.

The company’s newest bathroom product brims with luxurious features: a sleek, interactive LCD touch-screen interface; built-in personalized bidet functionality and deodorizer; innovative dual-flush technology with .6 and 1.28 gallons per flush, and intuitive auto-open and -close lid. It also features a built-in music system, heated seat and foot warmer, and unmatched comfort features.Suggested retail for the toilet is $6,300.

Following Kohler’s successful 2005 launch of the Purist Hatbox toilet, whose tankless silhouette redefined the bathroom category, Numi breaks the mold with its entirely new visual and technical language. Its design reflects a furniture aesthetic, creating an original toilet profile.

The distinctive, pared-down vision blends with personal technology to impress the most technologically-savvy user while the interface provides an easy-to-use experience for just about any member of the family.

“It’s truly an innovative product that makes a bold design statement,” says Jim Lewis, Kohler’s vice president of marketing. “We envisioned a toilet that creates a category in a caliber of its own. Numi packs technology into a compact toilet and is controlled by an advanced and intuitive interface. It’s an astounding example of modern industrial design where form and function go hand in hand.”

Numi is a celebration of the most technologically inspired experience in personal convenience.
Adopting legendary architect Mies van der Rohe’s “Less is more” mantra, the Kohler design team took a minimalist approach to Numi’s creation, arranging complex technological functions internally within a limited space, all while presenting extreme simplicity externally.
