At RKID, we know that collaboration with top-tier vendors is essential to delivering the finest interior design to our clients. Among our trusted partners, the Kohler Signature Store stands out for its incredible selection, innovative process, and superior customer service.
The Kohler Signature Store Difference
Kohler has always been synonymous with quality. The Kohler Signature Store takes this reputation a step further, offering a unique experience for interior designers and their clients. Unlike the broader Kohler manufacturer, each Kohler Signature Store is independently owned and operated, providing localized expertise on Kohler’s wide range of products.
Keith Rothstein, the Sales Manager at our local store in Edina, is committed to offering an environment where designers can collaborate with specially trained product experts. This ensures that every visit is productive, allowing designers to efficiently make selections and complete entire projects with ease.
A One-Stop Shop for Designers
The Kohler Signature Store eliminates the distractions that often come with multi-brand showrooms. Here, designers can focus solely on Kohler’s offerings, which include:
- Kohler: Plumbing, cabinetry, and lighting
- Kallista: Premium plumbing fixtures
- Robern: Medicine cabinets and vanities
- Ann Sacks: Tile, stone, and slabs
Another exciting new initiative from Kohler is their Crackle Collection! It features tiles made from recycled dry cull, transforming waste into a unique and responsive tile body. This hand-cut and glazed collection is part of Kohler’s Innovation for Good program, highlighting their commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.
This selection enables designers to easily integrate various elements of a project, ensuring cohesive results.

Expert Guidance and Collaboration
Interior designers can rely on the expertise of trained product specialists. These professionals act as true partners. As Keith shares, “I often think of Interior Designers like a general practitioner managing the overall project that then pulls in the specialist, like a bath expert, to help solve specific design challenges”. Kohler’s signature is a true collaboration: not gatekeeping expertise but welcoming a hands-on approach from designers. This is one of the many reasons we love designing with Kohler Signature!
Another major benefit is that designers can purchase directly. This not only aids in better project management but also offers opportunities for increased profitability or additional client discounts.
The store also offers connections with plumbers and contractors should you need them, providing everything you need to complete your project.
The Showroom
The Kohler Signature Store in Edina is intentionally designed to inspire and assist in the decision-making process. The showroom is a clear example of this philosophy. It features:
- Complete Suites: Integrated tile and plumbing displays
- Product-Focused Displays: Highlighting individual items for detailed evaluation
- Working Shower: Demonstrating the latest in shower technology, including the Anthem and Statement collections.
These features give both designers and clients a tangible understanding of how products will look and function in their spaces: an invaluable resource when trying to design your dream home!
