“My team also does the Artist’s Edition Sinks that you see. One of our newest is the Derring Collection, which has a subtle, carved texture and an artisan glaze.
-Nancy Ysuko, design studio manager, decorative products and color/material/finish, Kohler
“Another one I can highlight is that Sartorial Collection. That’s a unique design for us. The Sartorial is a white-on-white design that plays to the necessity of having something that feels clean but is dressed up with a raised micro-pattern. We were inspired by the industrial revolution and technology that came with that.”
-Nancy Ysuko, design studio manager, decorative products and color/material/finish, Kohler
“One of my favorite products is the Connelly faucet series I designed for TOTO. It is a shining example of a design that went through the collaborative process where aesthetic, functionality and profitability came together. The result was providing TOTO with a line that became one of our bestselling faucet series.”
-Lea Mendoza, senior product sesigner, TOTO USA
