Toto

Culture

The opener

We report from an idiosyncratic nation that has won us over with its quirky kerbside totems, drinks-filled vending machines, mascots and of course, shower toilets.

Technology

Flush with pride

Exhibitors at Toilet Tokyo are breaking taboos by showcasing hi-tech and green solutions for the bathroom. These innovations aim to make the experience cleaner, more pleasant and a topic of conversation for everyone.

Design

Bath time

The most anticipated date on the bathroom industry calendar is the ISH fair in Frankfurt. Monocle was there to seek out the latest and the best in taps, sinks, baths and toilets.
