The Wide World of Washbasins

TOTO has an extensive range of washbasins to transform the bath into a personal spa – offering a wealth of design possibilities.
A harmonious ambience – from the washbasin to the bathtub. TOTO developed the durable, long-lasting Galalato composite material especially for the CE vessel. The look is reminiscent of ceramic. The coordinating freestanding bathtub is also by TOTO. Photo: TOTO TOTO devotes special care to designing their washbasins with the intention of transforming every bathroom into a personal spa. The double vanity with CE vessels makes an inviting impression. Photo: TOTO The minimalist CS handrinse vessel, available in two sizes.

Like nearly all TOTO washbasins, it features the Cefiontect ceramic glaze. Photo: TOTO The slim-edge TL vessel made of Linearceram is especially durable despite its delicate appearance.

The elegant NEOREST vessel features a chrome overflow cover.

When people walk into a bathroom, the washbasin is usually the first thing they notice. TOTO has a wide variety of furniture and undercounter washbasins as well as vessels to complement all types of interior designs. Each one features the elegant, understated design synonymous with the TOTO name. They are also very durable, easy to clean and retain their shine for years to come. The washbasins are suitable for private residences as well as exclusive hotels. Some models are also designed to elevate public toilets.

 

When it comes to the many different aspects that make a bathroom into a personal oasis, Japanese sanitary ware manufacturer TOTO believes: “Wellness also means beautiful design.” TOTO has an extensive selection of furniture and
undercounter washbasins as well as vessels that have received prominent design awards (e.g. iF Gold Award, red dot design award). Whatever their technical distinctions, they all share a minimalist, timeless design with a high-quality surface
that looks new for years to come. Highlights include the simple and sophisticated CE vessel, the asymmetrical, slim-edge TA vessel and the NEOREST vessel, which features an elegant overflow cover. All washbasins include the especially
durable, easy-to-clean Cefiontect glaze developed by TOTO Applied before firing, it has an especially robust and long-lasting surface. People can even use microfiber cloth to clean TOTO washbasins without worrying about scratches.

 

Delicate, yet stable

Slim-edge ceramic washbasins continue to be on trend in bathroom design. To offer the “combination of minimalism and the level of quality synonymous with TOTO”, the Japanese company developed Linearceram – a special ceramic material that is highly durable and especially thin. The asymmetrical TA vessel and TL vessel both use this material. It emphasizes the sculptural nature of the design, making these truly eye-catching and exceptional pieces. Linearceram is only half as thick as standard ceramic, but just as stable and durable.

 

The perfect match

The wide variety offered by TOTO makes it possible to find the ideal washbasin for every bathroom. When designing the space, the first question is whether the washbasin should be a freestanding element that immediately catches the eye – or
if a furniture washbasin and corresponding vanity should do this as a unit. While the exclusive NEOREST vessel with integrated drain and chrome overflow cover looks especially elegant, the undercounter washbasins have a durable look –
making them predestined for high-traffic public areas.
