Things That Are Round
Last week we visited the Kohler Design Center in Kohler, Wisconsin after a writing retreat on Lake Michigan. Most fascinating to me was the history of Kohler Company founded in 1873 when Austrian immigrant John Michael Kohler purchased a cast iron and steel foundry in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
This is a shot of a stand of porcelain sinks with a wall of toilets in the background. Everyday art at its best. Sinks, tubs, and toilets never looked better.
The last time I was in Sheboygan County we visited the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, directed by John Michael Kohler's granddaugher, Ruth DeYoung Kohler, and famous for its washroom art installations and support for Outsider Art. Read more about the history of these two community based art and design centers at red Ravine.
