PURE ARCHITECTURE
THE AESTHETICS OF RESTRAINT This design example of a SieMatic SE is marked by clean surfaces and lines, without superficial decorative elements or ornamental add-ons, without handles, knobs or handle recesses. All the pull-outs and doors open automatically with a light touch. This puts the focus on what’s really of value: Sophisticated “smoked oak” was selected for the tall cabinets and prep island, bringing together the nuances of color in the sensitive room design in its vibrant, vertical grain.

THE SIEMATIC STYLE COLLECTION
7
MINIMALIST DESIGN, MAXIMUM PERFECTION Concentrating on a few components in design does not allow for any compromises in workmanship. It reveals everything to the eye and touch: attention to detail, degree of perfection, and quality of materials - such as the continuous veneer of the vivid oak grain.
NATURE MEETS HIGH TECH The cool luster of extensive stainless steel forms a dramatic contrast to warm oak. In a delicate 1.3 cm thickness, it frames an island equipped with the latest technology.
SOPHISTICATED INTEGRATION Typical of the SieMatic PURE style collection is the inconspicuous integration of kitchen functions into surrounding architecture. This island hides advanced equipment such as a downdraft extractor hood.
ALL IN ORDER SieMatic drawers and pull-outs are highly durable, easily removable and available in any width from 30 to 120 cm. And the best part: Combined with the number of options in the SieMatic interior accessories systems, they give you the opportunity to create your own personal order.
WOOD IN ITS MOST BEAUTIFUL FORM The design of “smoked oak” is one of the most expressive wood grains. A continuous veneer pattern gives the mark of master craftsmanship. Achieving it requires the utmost precision and craft.
COUNTERTOPS AND BACKSPLASHES They play an important role in the design of a kitchen. The range of high-quality materials and different designs is exceptionally broad at SieMatic - and every material has its own special qualities.
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE The highly flexible MultiMatic interior accessories for tall, wall and base cabinets allows for meaningful sorting and an individualized layout that can give you up to 30% more storage space.

Kohler Co.’s Innovation For Good Program Recognized as Changemaker with 2018 Mahatma Award
Kohler, Wis. – October 16, 2018 – Kohler Co. has been presented with a 2018 Mahatma Award for Social Good for its “Innovation for Good” (IfG) efforts. Laura Kohler, Senior Vice President-Human Resources, Stewardship & Sustainability for Kohler Co., accepted the award on behalf of IfG and Kohler Co. in New York City during the recently held UN General Assembly. The Mahatma Awards for Social Good spotlight changemakers and are awarded annually to individuals or organizations committed to addressing complex social issues like safe water, sanitation, disease, poverty and hunger. Kohler’s Innovation for Good program is an innovation incubator focused on developing and implementing sustainable business solutions to address some of the most pressing problems related to safe water, safe sanitation and reliable power. The IFG team catalyzes new ideas for UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 6, 7 and 12 by bringing together Kohler associates and business leaders from various functions across the company and around the world to incubate and implement breakthrough solutions to real-world problems. “What makes Innovation for Good successful – more importantly, enduring – is that it is truly a winwin initiative,” said Laura Kohler. “Our goal is to leverage our company knowledge and resources and then introduce solutions through financially sustainable business models with support from our global network of social enterprise partners and impact-minded thought leaders.”

One such IfG endeavor is the KOHLER Clarity water filter that provides safe drinking water to those who need it most. By filtering out more than 99% of bacteria and protozoa, it provides up to 40 liters of safe water each day – enough for a small family. Kohler has distributed over 150,000 Clarity units to communities all over the world who did not have access to safe drinking water, including a focused effort in Puerto Rico in partnership with Operation Agua following Hurricane Maria in 2017. The Mahatma Award was presented to Kohler during the Non-Government Organization (NGO) Expo. Held annually during the UN General Assembly, the NGO Expo unites a community of global citizens, non-profit organizations, government, social entrepreneurs and socially-responsible companies. Laura Kohler participated in a plenary session titled Impact Economy and the Role of Non-Profits, Corporations, Foundations and NGOs that highlighted the importance of public private partnerships and the role all sectors have in driving sustainable development across the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Specifically, she commented on the progress Kohler Co. has made addressing SDG 6, 7 and 12 and the need for continued partnerships to provide sustainable solutions. “We all know the more we collaborate, the greater our learnings,” said Kohler. “Each of the choices we make – the environmental policies we develop, the innovative products we produce, the communities we serve – have a ripple effect. And when we join forces, the effect we have on the lives of others can be even more profound.”

STYLISH SHOWER BASKETS COMPLETE THE GEESA WYNK COLLECTION Geesa has expanded the Wynk bathroom accessory collection with an indispensable bathroom item: the basket. Not one, but two brand-new Wynk baskets comprise a perfect combination of stylish design and a functional application. Geesa supplies both a slimline and wide model. The slimline variant requires limited space and is very suitable for smaller bathrooms, while the wide and deep variant provides plenty of room for large bottles. Perfect for spacious bathrooms. The fine and solid Wynk baskets provide shower gels, shampoos and scrubs with a suitable and functional place in the shower. Wynk is a broad collection with a high standard of design and quality. The two new shower baskets complete the Wynk collection and provide a solution for both large and smaller bathrooms. The slimline model was especially designed for smaller showers, making it suitable for smaller private bathrooms as well as modest hotel bathrooms. Mini skincare products will easily fit in the slimline Wynk basket and smaller hotel bottles are beautifully presented in this stylish variant. The deep Wynk basket provides generous space for large bath and shower bottles, and is perfect for spacious bathrooms.
Stylish and functional The elegant and modern character ensure that the Wynk baskets are a perfect expansion of the timeless Wynk collection. With its flat lines and soft curves in shiny chrome, the baskets can be perfectly combined with the other accessories from the collection. Both basket models have an opening in the curved front to ensure the labels on skincare products are visible. The flat bottom, curved front and rounded sides ensure that the bottles remain stable, and the rounded and functional corners prevent bottles from falling out of the basket; instead, they slide back into the basket. Both baskets are provided with narrow openings at the front, sides and back, ensuring optimum water drainage while showering.
