Combining dynamic gesture with advanced engineering, Formation 01 takes a familiar object—the bathroom faucet—and reimagines it as a functioning sculpture.

A sophisticated, sculptural form that exists beyond conventional expectations, Formation 01 engages its user in an act of revelation as well as interaction.

To realize Samuel Ross’ creative vision, Kohler invited him to explore a new advanced composite material—Neolast—that offers boundless form, unexpected texture, and rich, saturated colors. An embossed cast iron escutcheon plate celebrates our collaboration in an homage to Kohler’s history of material innovation.

Formation 01 is the initial realization of the Kohler x SR_A partnership’s approach of reimagining the design process itself as an open, public space through which collaboration and exploration can yield revolutionary results.
