Key Highlights

- Smart toilets and modern functionality are paired with timeless architectural styling
- Latest Kohler-Studio McGee collaboration continues to expand whole-home design offerings
KOHLER, WI — Kohler has introduced Claude, a new bathroom collection created in partnership with designer Shea McGee and her firm, Studio McGee. Following the launch of the Audrine kitchen sink collection, Claude expands the collaboration with a coordinated suite of bathroom products designed to combine classic styling with modern performance.
The collection delivers a full-bathroom solution that includes smart and traditional fixtures, sinks, vanities and mirrors designed to create a cohesive look across residential projects.
“Partnering with Kohler allows thoughtful design and advanced performance to come together in a way that feels natural and elevated,” said Shea McGee, founder and designer of Studio McGee. “With Claude, we created an entire cohesive bathroom collection that feels grounded and enduring, with pieces that draw you in. We designed products that are intentional and innovative while leaning into architectural detail and classic proportions to deliver comfort and functionality expected in a modern home.”
Coordinated Bathroom Products Designed To Work Together
The Claude collection includes a range of products intended to simplify the design process while maintaining a unified appearance across the bathroom.
Featured products include:
- One-piece smart toilets
- Traditional two-piece toilets
- Freestanding baths
- Console and pedestal sinks
- Undermount sinks
- Vanities
- Mirrors
Kohler says the products were designed to work together across multiple finishes and styles, helping designers and homeowners create a consistent aesthetic throughout a project.
Classic Architectural Details Meet Modern Performance
Drawing inspiration from Kohler’s design archives, Claude incorporates traditional architectural influences and furniture-inspired forms.
The collection features sculptural shapes, chamfered detailing and balanced proportions intended to create a refined look while supporting everyday usability.
“Working with Shea allowed us to push the boundaries of what bathroom design can be. She brought a fresh perspective to Kohler’s rich design heritage, helping us translate our archives into something distinctly modern, but classic,” said Margaret Mazz, Kohler Studio Manager. “Claude demonstrates that advanced performance—especially in a smart toilet—doesn’t have to look technical. It can be beautifully designed, intuitive to use, and grounded in timeless form.”
Collaboration Continues To Expand Product Portfolio
Claude builds on an ongoing partnership between Kohler and Studio McGee that includes multiple kitchen, bath, vanity and lighting collections designed to create coordinated solutions throughout the home.
The Claude bathroom collection is expected to become available this summer.
