Choreograph<br />
Enabling homeowners to change<br />
the look of a shower in less time<br />
than it takes to tile, Kohler’s new<br />
series of solid-colored, textured,<br />
or faux-stone-wall finishes is made<br />
from the company’s Serica material.<br />
The proprietary composite<br />
material combines crushed stone<br />
and fiber reinforcement for durability<br />
and ease of maintenance.<br />
Choreograph also comprises joints<br />
(for corners, outside edges, and<br />
seams that are easier to clean than<br />
exposed caulking), integrated<br />
storage, and on-wall shelves and<br />
seating. kohler.com CIRCLE 205<br />
Set<br />
Playing with light and shadow, this wall fixture<br />
from Vibia comprises five blocks, only one of which<br />
holds the LED light source; the other four can be<br />
positioned to refract, reflect, and break up the<br />
beams to create a unique composition. Available in<br />
matte mink or matte white lacquer, the blocks are 4"<br />
deep and range in width from 4" to 8¾". Multiple Sets<br />
can be combined for more dramatic effect. The 11W<br />
LED is dimmable from 1 to 10V. vibia.com CIRCLE 206<br />
P`7350 Kitchen<br />
Six years ago, Porsche Design Group collaborated<br />
with Poggenpohl on a high-end kitchen<br />
defined by clean lines, handle-free fronts,<br />
and a slick aluminum frame. This follow-up<br />
continues to emphasize precision engineering:<br />
mitered cabinet fronts meet mitered frames,<br />
and brushed-aluminum trims accentuate<br />
vertical lines. The kitchen is offered in three<br />
neutral colors with matte or lacquer finish, as<br />
well as in gray walnut. poggenpohl.com<br />

Sakura Collection<br />
Newly added to Fireclay Tile’s<br />
Handpainted series, this<br />
collection consists of 12 organic<br />
patterns that reflect Japan’s<br />
landscapes and culture, from<br />
a repeating fan pattern and<br />
wavelike allusions to mountain<br />
ranges to a field of ginkgo<br />
leaves. The tiles are 70%<br />
recycled clay and available in<br />
a soft palette of natural and<br />
neutral hues, in 8" square and<br />
6" x 12" formats, and are suitable<br />
for both wall and floor<br />
applications in wet zones.<br />
