Black introduces a new dimension in bathroom design – lending depth and elevating ceramics to another aesthetic level. The velvety texture of matte surfaces has a unique impact that extends beyond the visual realm. It reveals a subtle dialogue between light and shadow, shape and structure. This new matte look, whether in black or white, turns an encounter with TOTO bathroom products into a sensual experience. They’re minimalist and streamlined, yet approachable – ideal for residential bathrooms, top-tier hotels, exclusive restaurants and representative areas in public buildings.

TOTO is introducing their most popular products – RP Toilet, WASHLET RW and the iconic, asymmetrical TA Vessel – in new matte black and matte white versions for the first time at ISH 2025. These ceramic products come with push plates and remote controls in coordinating colours. The timelessly elegant ZL Faucet is also available in matte black and brushed nickel – the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.



matte black: strikingly elegant

The matte black finish gives ceramics a powerful and and striking elegance, granting them a certain depth and presence in the space. The RP Toilet and WASHLET RW are beautiful accents that look especially luxurious in this soft, dark texture. Strong and composed, the matte black objects serve as visual anchors in the room design. The subtle interplay with light and shadows creates a moody yet opulent ambience.



matte white: effortlessly minimalist

The same products are timelessly minimalist in matte white. They bring an effortless and understated elegance to the bathroom, making the space appear larger while exuding a sense of tranquillity. The matte surface underscores the minimalist design, incorporating seamlessly into bright, light-filled bathrooms. Pure and clean, matte white transforms the bath into a veritable oasis. The streamlined design reflects the Japanese values of balance and moderation. At the same time, TOTO is providing the inspiration and flexibility for designers to develop uniquely
creative concepts. These versatile ceramics are flexible, elegant solutions for modern bathrooms that complement all kinds of spaces and designs.
