Adventures of #mybathroomanthem - presented by Kohler, curated by STIR

Bath spaces make for the most private refuge for a person, allowing one to drop all masks and guards, disrobe one of external distractions and reflect on their innermost thoughts and personalities. These urban caves of calmness are a place to look inward, lose inhibitions, let go, sing and dance without a care. With their latest innovation, Kohler revolutionises the luxury bath experience with Anthem by Kohler , an immersive, tactile and intuitive digital shower experience that led STIR to curate a special series inviting leading Indian designers and architects to share their most private stories through an intuitive narrative.
