Ceramica Flaminia new Void Washbasin and Bidet designed by Fabio Novembre

The soft form of the Ceramica Flaminia Void Washbasin designed by Fabio Novembre is an aesthetic discovery that will please the senses. The gentle dent-like impression on the sides of the bidet and the hole that runs through it create an organic feeling, as if the object has been shaped by the flow of water over many years. The designer likens the Void to ‘stones in a river which are smoothed by the internal and external flows of our life’. Fabio Novembre says “Water moulds materials with a particular harmony that every designer aspires to”. Sensual and natural, water from the faucet surges into the Void Bidet to complement its shape. Ceramica Flaminia, an Italian company, is expert in interpreting the forms around us into eye-catching ceramic equivalents, as demonstrated with the Void Washbasin and Void Bidet.

The Julien BenchToilet launched the New Year, featured on January 4 on ABC’s popular morning talk show, The View.

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

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.

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

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 It features a dual flush system, yet the traditional “tank” has been replaced by a sculptural column of stacked, flattened orbs, creating a sleek and elegant design statement – all without sacrificing functionality.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.
