TOTO will reopen its London showroom during Clerkenwell Design Week with a launch event, following a complete redevelopment of the Clerkenwell space…
Originally opened in 2010, the TOTO showroom has been rebuilt as an immersive environment that brings together Japanese craftsmanship, sustainability and advanced bathroom technology. The reopening marks a significant milestone in TOTO’s evolution in the UK, reflecting both its long-standing presence in London and its growing international outlook.
Located on St John Street, the new showroom is conceived as more than a display space. It introduces a dual structure, combining a UK-focused area with a new global specification platform, giving architects and designers access to both European and international collections within a single setting. This global dimension enables specification across hospitality, commercial and high-end residential projects worldwide, positioning the showroom as a strategic hub for internationally active design studios.

The design places emphasis on experience and materiality. Yoshino cedar is used throughout the interior, while elements of the previous showroom have been reused, including a terrazzo surface made from recycled ceramics. This approach reflects a broader commitment to circular design principles, where existing materials are reinterpreted rather than discarded. On the lower ground floor, a sequence of customer experience spaces explores how light, texture and atmosphere shape everyday bathroom environments, forming a carefully choreographed, multi-sensory journey inspired by natural materials and changing moods.
A dedicated technology zone reveals the engineering behind TOTO’s products, alongside a concept accessible bathroom that examines inclusive design beyond compliance. By exposing internal mechanisms and performance systems, the space offers a deeper understanding of the precision and innovation underpinning the brand’s approach to hygiene and comfort. The showroom also incorporates a gallery and event space, supporting ongoing engagement with the design community through talks, installations and collaborative programming, while a Japanese courtyard garden introduces moments of calm and reflection within the spatial sequence.

To mark the reopening of its London showroom in Clerkenwell during Clerkenwell Design Week, TOTO will host an evening event on 20 May from 6:00pm. The event will provide an opportunity for architects, designers and industry professionals to experience the newly redeveloped space and explore its updated product offering.
Visitors on the evening will be able to move through a series of spaces designed to demonstrate materials, technology and user experience. These include a technology exhibition area explaining product engineering, customer experience bathroom environments on the lower ground floor, and a flexible gallery space intended for talks and future programming.
The 20 May event offers a first look at the new space following its complete transformation.
