Kohler Celebrates the Numi Launch at Robert Verdi's Luxe Laboratory

Last Tuesday, April 26th, KOHLER unveiled the space-saving Numi toilet at the Kitchen and Bath Show Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas.

Numi is Kohler's most advanced toilet, with a sleek design and cutting-edge technology and engineering.

I got a sneek peak during the Numi cocktail party launch on April 14th at the Robert Verdi's Luxe Laboratory. The $6,000 toilet does everything except talk to you and ask you how your day was. Numi features a motion-activated open & close seat and seat cover, heated seat, stainless steel bidet wand with integrated dryer, water efficient flushing technology, an air vent to warm your feet and my favorite - it plays music! You can hook up your MP3 player, iphone or ipod! There's even a touch-screen remote that can be docked and mounted to the wall.

You can watch the video here and learn more at kohler.com/numi.

Here are some images I took at the Numi launch, with a demonstration of how Numi opens and closes.










Here is the Numi in it's new home - the bathroom at the Luxe Laboratory.


I really enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres, including Scotch Smoked Salmon, Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi and Prime Sirloin Tartare. Bite did an amazing job on the catering.


I could not stop eating the dessert - Bite Mallomars that consisted of Ancho Caramel Ganaches with Cocoa Macaroons and Dark Chocolate. The Champagne Bombs were my favorite - Champagne Sabayon filled with Strawberries Brulee.
