Description(English)	KOHLER is a global family of brands which its design is always related to art. In this project, the aim is to present this showroom as an art gallery to make people focus on its essence of design. The location is near one of Taipei's the busiest streets. KOHLER means an elegant living style, which can be read like books. The designer starts afresh to use a design concept “art & reading”. From the inspiration of curves of flipping books, he implants playful elements with wood, steel, terrazzo and FRP to create a white, pure and artistic environment with blurring the boundary between spaces.
Description(Native)	KOHLER是一個世界知名的廚衛品牌，特別是廚房和浴室的產品享譽全球。在過去的一百二十二年裡，它的設計往往可看到與藝術結合的身影，像是早期的產品曾被收錄在大都會藝術博物館，或是與藝術家合作推出的商品等等。這個項目主要是把這個展廳當作一個藝廊的形式來呈現，也令人可耳目一新地透過空間與產品的結合，更專注於品牌本身的設計本質，也激發人們對於KOHLER背後的故事和品牌精神的興趣與好奇。此商空位置靠近台北最繁華的街道之一，KEC三面環繞著巨大而透明的落地窗，分析周邊交通流量和光線照射，我們確認窗面與產品之關係，排定合適優先順序，優化空間樣貌。設計師重新運用“藝術與閱讀”的嶄新設計理念，因KOHLER意味著一種優雅的生活方式，我們希望空間可以像書本一樣被閱讀，因此設計師從書本的曲線中汲取靈感，用木材，鋼鐵，水磨石和玻璃纖維材質，創作出一個有趣的空間元素，營造了一個白色，純淨和藝術美感的環境，並通過模糊空間內界線，以純藝術，裝置藝術，生活藝術，真實生活四種藝術形式表現，增添與參訪貴客的互動。
