The partnership celebrates Kohler’s deep heritage and enduring legacy in cast iron design—one that began in 1883 when founder John Michael Kohler transformed a humble cast iron horse trough into the company’s first enameled bath.

Today, Kohler’s enameled cast iron collection spans beautifully crafted baths, shower bases, bathroom sinks, and kitchen sinks in a variety of styles—ranging from contemporary to traditional—all engineered with the exceptional durability and timeless quality that define the KOHLER_® brand.

Martha Stewart, a longtime user of and personal advocate for enameled cast iron, will collaborate with Kohler on a series of engaging content pieces and events throughout 2025 and 2026. With her signature approach to home and design, Stewart will showcase cast iron’s ability to enhance both everyday spaces and personal style, telling the story of timeless beauty and quality craftsmanship through her distinct perspective.

“Martha Stewart personifies quality, design, and what it means to live a gracious lifestyle—making her the perfect partner to help us celebrate the extraordinary character of Kohler Cast Iron,” said David Kohler, Chair and CEO. “Cast iron is at the core of our history and our roots, but it's also part of our future. It's our love, it's our craft, and making it right here in Kohler, Wisconsin, is a great element of the story. What began in 1883 changed the trajectory of the entire company and continues to shape the evolution of our business.”

“It’s such a pleasure to partner with the innovative minds at Kohler to bring awareness to the variety and depth of their enameled cast iron offerings,” said Martha Stewart. “I have been a proponent of enameled cast iron for decades, all throughout the home, and look forward to sharing my passion for the material with the world and helping others discover its beauty, strength, and lasting value—especially through the lens of the category leader Kohler.”
