Kohler launches Fleurette Artist Editions collection in collaboration with Aerin Lauder

Kohler has unveiled a new Artist Editions partnership with AERIN founder and creative director Aerin Lauder, presenting the Fleurette Collection. Drawing inspiration from the long-standing tradition of Delftware, the line applies hand-painted floral patterns to three of Kohler’s signature bathroom pieces.

Produced in white vitreous china and echoing the look of classic Delft tiles, the collection includes three celebrated Kohler designs: the Memoirs Stately toilet, the Memoirs Stately pedestal sink, and the Caxton rectangular sink. Available in two color stories—a classic blue-and-white and a gentle green-and-white—the set elevates ordinary fixtures into decorative elements for the bath. The green option offers a contemporary take on Delft aesthetics, reflecting Lauder’s increasing fondness for that hue and bringing a garden-like influence into interior spaces.

Lauder says her creative impulse for the project came from the blue-and-white ceramics that were a feature of her grandmother Estée Lauder’s home. She explains that those heirloom objects and the memories attached to them shaped her desire to design pieces that feel enduring and personal—items meant to become part of a family’s everyday life for generations.

A long-time admirer of how Kohler infuses design into daily environments, Lauder was especially attracted to collaborating through the Artist Editions program. For more than four decades, that initiative has celebrated the meeting of art and skilled workmanship, pairing exacting manufacturing with decorative techniques applied by Kohler artisans in Wisconsin. The collaboration reflects Lauder’s personal approach to the collection while reinforcing Kohler’s focus on luxurious design innovation.

Although Delftware is rooted in centuries of history, Lauder finds it has a surprisingly modern appeal. As bathrooms increasingly serve as spaces for personal style within the home, the Kohler–AERIN partnership unites historical reference with lasting design, producing pieces Lauder describes as a seamless blend of artistry, craft, and nostalgic charm that still reads as relevant and timeless in contemporary interiors.
