Features of Award Winning Products

 

NEOREST DH, Integrated toilet

NEOREST DH comes with many features and functions and yet has an understated, simple low-profile design. The design makes dimensional adjustments at the 0.1 mm level in order to pack many functional components into the smallest of spaces.

NEOREST DH is also exceptionally easy to clean thanks to its extraordinarily smooth surface and the elimination of microscopic gaps.

TA Series Vessel Wash Basin

With a statement organic shape inspired by nature, the TA Series Vessel Wash Basin has a bold asymmetrical design, adding an extra twist to a relaxing and comfortable bathroom experience. TOTO’s proprietary ceramic material is used to create a vessel of exquisite thinness with crisp sharp lines.

FLOATATION TUB Free Standing Bathtub

FLOATATION TUB offers a sense of luxury through its powerful design and exquisite relaxation through a new style of bathing.

 

With a perfectly smooth surface inside and a hand-polished coating on its curved uninterrupted exterior, the flotation tub creates an impression of beauty reminiscent of ceramic art.

 

FLOATATION TUB is born from the “scientific study of bathing.” Its shape simulates a gravity-less, bathing position much like an astronaut in space. The technology allows the body to assume an ideal reclined position where body and mind are drawn toward a meditative state.

 

The tub features variable pillow positions for stability to ensure the bath can be enjoyed by all. It also features massaging water jets for an even more relaxing experience and indirect lighting to cast a gentle light around the tub.
