When John Michael Kohler converted a simple cast-iron trough into his company's first bathtub in 1883, he likely could not have imagined the legacy he was setting in motion. From those humble beginnings in Wisconsin, Kohler Co. has grown into one of the world's most iconic names in bath and sanitary design, a brand synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship, and the idea that even the most functional spaces can embody beauty and luxury.

Now, more than 150 years later, that spirit of gracious living has made its way to Bangladesh. On September 23, 2025, Shanta Lifestyle officially partnered with Kohler to the country, marking a significant milestone in the nation's evolving design and lifestyle landscape. The launch, held at Kohler's first showroom in Bangladesh at Concord Bilkis Tower on Madani Avenue, Dhaka, was nothing short of an immersive journey into the future of bathroom experiences.

From the moment guests walked in, they were welcomed not into a store, but into a curated world of design possibilities. Every corner of the showroom reflected Kohler's commitment to luxury, from the elegant curves of freestanding bathtubs to the sleek minimalism of wall-hung toilets. For the first time, Bangladeshi consumers could see, touch, and experience what has earned Kohler its global reputation: a bold approach to bathroom design that elevates the everyday into something extraordinary.

Speaking at the event, Dewan Sajid Afzal, CEO of Shanta Lifestyle, shared his vision for this partnership: *"Bringing Kohler to Bangladesh reflects our ambition to make world-class design and craftsmanship accessible to discerning consumers. Kohler represents more than just bathroom fixtures, it represents a lifestyle."

Group CMO of Shanta, Jane Alam Romel, echoed this sentiment, highlighting how Kohler's 150-year legacy will reshape local expectations of the modern bathroom: "Kohler has always been at the forefront of design leadership. By bringing this heritage here, we aim to redefine how Bangladesh views not just bathrooms, but lifestyle spaces as a whole."

The event itself brought Kohler's innovation to life. Guests marveled at the Artist Edition vessels, exquisite sinks that transform daily rituals into moments of art. The Anthem smart shower system, with its sleek digital controls, allowed attendees to imagine showering experiences personalized down to temperature, spray, and flow. Perhaps most striking were the intelligent WCs complete with heated seats and cleansing features, redefining comfort and hygiene with a futuristic flair.

With Kohler's arrival, Shanta Lifestyle strengthens its role as a curator of the world's most distinguished brands, continuing its mission to bring global excellence to Bangladesh. This partnership is more than just about products, it's about raising standards, reshaping lifestyles, and inspiring a new generation to embrace the art of living beautifully.
