The Stillness Bath draws its inspiration from Japanese forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku. Water, light, fog and aromas converge to create an immersive journey of the senses designed to relax the mind, soothe the body and renew the spirit.
After the bath's water fills from the bottom of the bath to overflowing into the Hinoki wood mote, creating a soothing sound, fog then envelopes the surface of the Stillness Bath, immersing the bather in a feeling of deep relaxation.
Finally, essential oils can be added into the bath's experience tower which softly emits aromas.
David Kohler, president and CEO of Kohler Co. said, "As we grow our leadership in smart home innovation, our products make it possible for consumers to easily enjoy the advantages of touchless and connected experiences, without adding clutter or complexity to their spaces. We believe there is a delicate balance when it comes to technology in the home and will continue pioneering opportunities for seamless control in the bathroom and kitchen with an eye toward gracious living and wellbeing."
