Kohler Transforms Historic Greenwich Village Townhouse for Kips Bay

A historic 1839 Georgian townhouse at 80 Washington Place serves as the stage for this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House, where Kohler has integrated its latest design and wellness technology. The partnership invites 22 architects and designers to reimagine the six-level residence through a blend of craftsmanship and innovation.

The exhibition, running from September 16 through October 13, 2026, features a diverse array of Kohler products, including the Numi 2.0 Smart Toilet, the Synthos workstation sink, and a specialized ice bath developed with Remedy Place. By incorporating these fixtures into grand entertaining spaces and private wellness levels, the collaboration demonstrates how plumbing and kitchen hardware can serve as functional art within high-end residential interiors. Designers utilized collections like Artifacts, Occasion, and Memoirs to tailor the brand’s aesthetic to their individual visions.

Brittany Canniff Kimball of Kohler noted that the collaboration emphasizes the lack of a single definition for functional beauty, allowing the brand to support both quiet luxury and efficiency-focused spaces. Beyond the design showcase, the initiative serves as a primary fundraiser for the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. Since the event's inception in 1973, it has generated over $35 million for after-school programs, and this year’s edition continues that legacy by hosting thousands of visitors in a space that spans from a dedicated wellness floor to a rooftop deck overlooking Washington Square Park.
