Strong Statements in the Bath: NEOREST Collection Debuts Matte Finishes

TOTO, the Japanese sanitaryware expert, has announced its latest innovation at ISH 2025 – a premium NEOREST collection reimagined in sophisticated matte black and matte white finishes. The new range marks a bold departure from conventional bathroom design, elevating aesthetics with an exclusive velvety texture that redefines luxury and minimalism

The refreshed NEOREST collection introduces the NEOREST Toilet with an integrated WASHLET (WX) and a suite of matching fixtures including coordinating washbasins, splash-free automatic faucets, and a bi-colour Flotation Tub. In matte black, these fixtures offer an expressive, dramatic presence – an unexpected foundation for creating striking, modern interiors. Meanwhile, the matte white variant delivers a timeless, understated elegance, reinforcing TOTO’s commitment to minimalist design with a tactile, luxurious finish.

The matte black NEOREST WX toilet with integrated WASHLET becomes an instant focal point, while matte white versions offer understated elegance. New automatic faucets in brushed nickel complete the collection.

"Black represents exclusive design more than any ceramic colour," states TOTO. The collection's tactile surfaces create sensory experiences through light-shadow interplay.

Light & Shadow: Matte Ceramics Reimagined

TOTO's RP Toilet, WASHLET RW and TA Vessel debut in matte finishes. Black versions create dramatic focal points, while matte white enhances spatial serenity.

The matte black TA Vessel's Linearceram construction appears sculptural, while white versions complement contemporary schemes. Coordinating ZL faucets complete both looks.

Groundbreaking Floorstanding Solutions

New close-coupled and back-to-wall floorstanding ceramics address renovation challenges. RP Toilet models feature Cefiontect glaze and WASHLET upgrade potential.

Ideal for heritage properties, the range includes matching bidets and multiple WASHLET configurations. "We're bridging historical architecture with modern hygiene," says TOTO.

Flexible WASHLET Retrofit Solutions

In a further bid to meet the evolving needs of today’s consumers, TOTO has introduced a clever toilet-to-WASHLET upgrade solution. Designed to address budget constraints amid rising costs, the system allows users to purchase a TOTO toilet – including popular models such as the RP Toilet – and delay the WASHLET upgrade until financially viable. Toilets compatible with this system come pre-equipped with the necessary water and electrical connection points, discreetly concealed under FlexCovers. With the innovative TOTO installation frame, upgrading to a full WASHLET setup can be accomplished in as little as five minutes, thereby minimising additional installation expenses and maximising flexibility.

Compatible with various installation frames, upgrades take minutes with TOTO's system. "We're making hygiene accessible through adaptable solutions," explains TOTO's product team.

TOTO’s latest release underscores its enduring legacy of durability, hygiene, and technological sophistication. By marrying innovative design with practical solutions, the premium NEOREST collection sets a new benchmark in bathroom aesthetics – one where bold contrasts, refined textures, and flexible upgrades coalesce into the very essence of elegance and perfection.

For industry observers and design professionals alike, TOTO’s enhanced collection offers a fresh perspective on how luxury and functionality can be seamlessly integrated into modern bathroom environments.
