The dark skies flashed with blue lights, as techno music filled the cool open air of the CRU Bar and Kitchen on Lady Musgrave Road. The occasion: The Bold Look of Kohler, hosted by Tile City and Home Centre.

Guests got acquainted over cocktails at the launch held on Wednesday. CRU was ideal in depicting the bold look, adding to Kohler's chic and cutting-edge décor. Bold, too, was Tile City's move to take over CRU closing it down to regular patrons, making the location exclusive to its distinguished guests.

Among its products that provide the 'Bold Look' of the night, was a feature of one of their products - the Moxie showerhead + wireless speaker, which adds music, accentuating the shower experience.

In his address, Kohler's representative, Jim Lewis, officially announced its new 'bold' partnership with Jamaican home-improvement company, Tile City and Home Centre. He explained that it chose Tile City for its boldness in time, energy and creativity, as well as for its quality products and customer-care services. He declared that Tile City and Home Centre will be bringing the Bold Look of Kohler to Jamaica.

Guests listened attentively as he went on to share highlights of the Kohler Company, which views itself as an innovator and which has dedicated 140 years to providing quality every day and extraordinary products and services to customers in more than 30 countries worldwide.

The excitement was maintained throughout the function with the raffling of a free Moxie showerhead + wireless speaker every half an hour for the duration of the event.

With the formalities complete, guests made their way to the open bar for more intoxicating concoctions, and placed their orders for some of the delectable offerings from the kitchen, all courtesy of Tile City and Home Centre.
