JAPAN DESIGN

 

TOTO LTD.

TOTO was established as a sanitary ware manufacturer and retailer in 1917, during an era in which Japan still lacked a sewage system infrastructure, emerging from its founder' vision to disseminate new hygienic living customs throughout the country. Today, TOTO's business reaches beyond the realm of toilets to encompass a wide range of plumbing-related fields and products for bathrooms, kitchens and lavatories.
Preserving its founding vision, TOTO continues to offer increasingly higher quality products and services with the aim of creating plumbing fixtures for enriched and more comfortable lifestyles all over in the world.

SelfPower

Design: TOTO Design Center

TOTO's unique SelfPower technology offers an ecological faucet that is suitable for both residential and commercial applications. Behind the faucet's elegant appearance lies astounding innovation that saves water, electricity and space.
This is the world's first self-charging faucet. Thanks to a rechargeable battery and self-generating hydropower generator - powered by the very water consumed - the faucet can go without maintenance for years.
An infrared micro sensor at the tip increases detection accuracy and can help to cut waste water by up to 84%. At the same time, the no-touch function makes the faucet hygienically appealing.
