Interpretative Takes on 20th Century Design For Whole-Home Options
Kohler, WIS. , AUGUST 04, 2022 - Unveiled as part of the
2022 KOHLER Lighting introductions are two
contemporary collections – Kraga and Tone – each inspired by the understated,
elegance and clean lines of Mid-Century Modern design. Kraga and Tone embrace
the movement’s principles of form, function, and scale, celebrating the
revolutionary shift from the earlier, decorative ornamentation, and instead
exploring the organic beauty of handcraft and the expressive, fluid art works
this period in design brought to the world.
The Kohler Lighting portfolio presents a range of whole home
solutions from traditional to contemporary in scope. The Tone and Kraga designs
are no exception, offering customers an artful compilation of sconces,
pendants, flush-mounts, and chandeliers. The Tone Lighting also incorporates
many of the same design elements as the Kohler Tone Kitchen and Bathroom Faucet
Collections, allowing customers to create cohesive, beautifully finish-matched
interiors in a one-stop shopping experience.
The Kraga Collection
Kraga is a sophisticated collection that marries tailored
line with geometric form, nodding to the works of such iconic 20th century
Modern Italian designers as Achille Castiglioni, Gae Aulenti, and Joe Colombo.
Sculptural, with a visual presence that is edgy and bold, the designs are
intentionally devoid of unnecessary decorative elements, relying instead on the
purity of pared down form and hand-selected materials. The Kraga collection
includes a One-Light Flush-Mount, a One-Light Sconce, a One-LKohleright
Pendant, a Five-Light Linear Chandelier, and a Five-Light Chandelier.
Crafted from smooth, cast metal frames fitted with glowing,
cast-glass, creamy white globes, each Kraga lighting design have its own unique
personality and individual flair. The straightforward metalwork frames effect
the appropriate visual tension against the sleek, pearly surface of the glossy,
translucent orbs, with the opaque glass emitting a warm glow that illuminates
from within.

The Tone Collection
The Tone Collection features uncluttered shapes and clean
lines, expertly crafted with multiple metal shade choices, including
combination finishes, to complement surroundings, while also making thoughtful,
effective use of space. Loosely referencing the sculptural works by
Finnish-American architect, Eero Saarinen, whose revolutionary designs include
the coveted Tulip Table, its teardrop form and graceful shape evoking a natural
elegance that inspired the sculpted simplicity that is infused throughout the
Tone designs.
The striking glass and brass Tone Collection is minimalistic
in approach, evoking an unmistakable warmth and air of understated
sophistication. The Tone Collection features a One-Light Sconce, a Two-Light
Sconce, and a Three-Light Sconce, a One-Light Flush Mount, a One-Light Pendant,
a Four-Light Chandelier, and an Eight-Light Linear Chandelier. Tone Lighting is
available in a variety of colorways including two mixed metal finishes – Matte
Black and Polished Chrome or Matte Black and Brushed Moderne Brass – to
perfectly pair with Tone faucet designs, or any of the Kohler kitchen and
bathroom modern or transitional collections.
