Kohler's Anthem shower controls give users a "truly immersive showering experience"

Promotion: bathroom and kitchen brand Kohler's Anthem collection of shower valves and controls allows users to create personalised shower settings that can be controlled via a smartphone.

Kohler's Anthem controls and valves were informed by high-end home furnishings and designed to have a "minimalist, sophisticated and warmly tactile vibe", according to the brand.

The controls were designed to be easy to use and are touch-sensitive. Users can choose between digital or mechanical control panels, which provide a range of combinations of spray and temperature options.

The valves control Kohler showerheads, hand showers and body sprays, which allow the user to personalise their showering experience.

"Each outlet can be independently adjusted to suit the user's specific temperature and flow desires, such as a soft, warm spray from the overhead rain head along with strong, hot massage from the hand shower," said the brand."Users can mix and match to their heart's content and then programme up to 10 favourite presets to revisit anytime.

The digital Anthem controls are integrated with the Kohler app called Konnect, allowing users to control their experience via their smartphone.

Users can set default or max temperatures and monitor shower duration and water usage to prevent wastage.

"A really great shower is based highly on personal preference and should be completely within the control of the user," said Kohler vice president of industrial design Lun Cheak Tan.

"We have developed the Anthem valves and controls to empower bathers with the ability to manipulate flow, temperature and sprays to achieve a personalised wellbeing experience."
