Peacock is a dimensional glaze concept, developed for Kohler's Artist Editions business. Inspired by ancient Chinese glaze techniques, this finish is rich in color, texture, and depth. As warm minimalism grew as a design style and neutrals matured in the home-scape, dimensionality was identified as a key requirement for leading finishes. This glaze finish was one of several initiatives for advancing Kohler's design leadership in color, material, and finish.
