ceramica-esedra-basic-hanging-bidet-toilet.jpg

This hanging toilet and bidet from Ceramica Esedra’s Basic Collection are anything but “basic”. These vessels are elegantly sculpted, appearing more as works of art than traditional bathroom fixtures. Both the hanging toilet and bidet feature a unique asymmetrical design, whereby their curved faces have been carved at an angle, leaving an interesting shape reminiscent of sand dunes that have been eroded by the wind. The smooth surface is seamless, making cleaning these units a breeze. Attention to hygiene is again addressed as this hanging toilet and bidet allow for easy access to the underside of the fixtures and the floor below.

The TOTO Soiree Toilet - sculpted geometric design plus extremely low maintenance toilet

toto-soiree-toilet.jpg

A sharp sculpted geometric design, the Soiree Toilet is serious and refined. The subtle skirting at the bottom is reflected in the bevelled tank lid giving a balanced and united profile. Besides its fine looks, the Soiree is extremely low maintenance. There is a concealed trapway for easy cleaning, and the sculpted base leaves no where for dirt to hide. In addition the Double Cyclone flush technology creates an intense centrifugal action which scrubs the rim every time you flush. Combined with the SanaGloss finish, dirt is easily whisked away. The new technology also means this single piece toilet has no holes on the rim, offering a seamless appearance. The TOTO Soiree Toilet is crisp, clean and suave. Available for $850 or $977.50 depending on color.


Avant Guarde Toilet by AquAvanti - Innovations in Toilet Design

aquavanti-avant-guarde-toilet.jpg

When it comes to selecting a toilet, it wasn’t long ago when one’s options were limited to, “did you want a round or elongated bowl with that?” Today, companies like Aquavanti have turned shopping for a toilet into a gallery-like experience. The Avant Guarde Toilet is just one example of the design innovations that Aquavanti has to offer. It is a custom one piece toilet composed of vitreous china and finished with Aquavanti’s Nanotechnology process, whereby sub-molecular particles are inserted into the glaze to create smoother, glossier, and more stain resistant surfaces than traditional porcelain can provide. It features a dual flush system, yet the traditional “tank” has been replaced by a sculptural column of stacked, flattened orbs, creating a sleek and elegant design statement – all without sacrificing functionality. The bowl itself has not been overlooked – its simple lines extend to the floor, resulting in an unobtrusive cylindrical shape that makes the task of cleaning around the base of the toilet much less daunting. This combination of practical and aesthetic elements makes The Avant Guarde an inspiring conversation piece when incorporated with traditional bathroom fixtures or when featured with other unique Aquavanti designs. As evidenced by The Avant Guarde and its other inspired collections, Aquavanti definitely “Designs Beyond Expectation”. The Avant Guarde Toilet will be available starting in January 2007 from AquAvanti.

European Toilet Design - the latest trends

european-toilet-design.jpg

Unlike in the US, European toilets always looked modern, and lately, some amusing designs showed up. No classic round WC's but fresh contemporary shapes, no bulky water closets but skinny water tanks or less tanks. New materials are used for toilet seats as well. The toilets are no longer for nature calls only - they are designed to impress. What used to be a simple necessity has become an integrated element of the bathroom design. A contemporary bidet would complete the ensemble. Here you'll find a quick roundup of today's European toilet designs. Before expressing yourself by installing one make sure it fits the US code. Buy them at Giant.

Shown right is Hera wall mounted toilet by Althea Ceramica, with steel support. About $600 or £350.

Below are some examples from Pozzi-Ginori, Simas, Vitruvit, Duravit, Rapsel and Alessi:

Kohler's New Purist Hatbox toilet - tankless and electronic

The minimalism is in the bathroom... The Purist Hatbox toilet from Kohler fits state-of-the-art technology into a pure oval shape, and makes a 'hats up' statement in the bathroom. The high-end electric and tankless Purist Hatbox challenges your bathroom style while its clean aesthetics makes you feel clean yourself. We are certainly witnessing some interesting changes in the bathroom design as the toilet transforms from a bulky box into a slim pure design - "The Purist Hatbox toilet is simply a natural evolution of how we perceive the toilet." Priced at $2,890. 800-4-KOHLER.



At least three design innovations helped to achieve this minimal form... utilizing Kohler’s Power Lite technology (Power Lite toilets use a factory-installed .2-hp electric pump fully enclosed within the toilet box that provides a powerful flush utilizing 1.6 gallons of water.), utilizing small electronic actuator along the side of the toilet instead of a mechanical lever, and having the water supply line come inside of the bowl base through the floor up.

There are two more interesting features: the seat is of the Comfort Height of an average household chair (17"), and it has built-in Quiet-Close functionality to prevent slamming. To match the rest of the Kohler's Purist Suite of products, the Kohler Purist toilet is offered in six colors - White, Biscuit, Ice Grey, Almond, Sandbar, and Thunder Grey.
