Shea McGee's New Collection With Kohler Is the Answer to an Anti-Trend Bathroom That Prioritizes Classic Design
The collection features the elements of a full bathroom suite for a truly elegant design
Bathrooms are returning to schemes that embrace tranquility and luxury this year, with a true emphasis on creating spaces that not only prioritize wellness but also feel timeless. And the new Kohler x Studio McGee collaboration makes creating such a space easier than ever.
Just launched, the Kohler x Studio McGee Claude Bathroom Collection has everything you need to create a bathroom that embraces classic style with pared-back restraint, instantly creating a sense of calm.
The collection feels quietly luxurious, offering a high-end look without any fussy embellishments. Think chic washstands, elegant pedestal sinks, and even a freestanding tub, alongside smaller accessories that effortlessly complete a bathroom. Honestly? It's a collection worth knowing if you're planning a refresh this year.
This isn't Studio McGee's first collaboration with Kohler – in fact, the Claude Collection follows six successful launches across kitchens and bathrooms.
But while they have all focused on specific elements of the room, such as the Castia™ Bathroom Faucet Collection and the Audrine™ Kitchen Sink Collection, the latest endeavor offers all the essential furniture you need to design a bathroom.
You can furnish your entire bathroom with this collection. Choose between a traditional washstand sink with either brass or silver fixings, an elegant pedestal sink, or a sleek undermount sink to upgrade a vanity.
There are five different toilet designs to choose from, depending on the size and style of your bathroom, and one holy grail bathtub that effortlessly blends into schemes that lean traditional and modern in style. It might just be the hardest-working collection to date.
'Partnering with Kohler allows thoughtful design and advanced performance to come together in a way that feels natural and elevated,' says Shea McGee, Founder of Studio McGee, in the press release.
'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.'
This collection is about more than simply accessorizing your bathroom – it's about introducing core pieces that balance classic style with unrivalled functionality. Each piece is inspired by Kohler's archives, reintroducing key furniture, from toilets to bathtubs, taking pieces that are usually seen as basic essentials and making them feel more refined and elevated.
'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.'
