At the upcoming Clerkenwell Design Week, Japanese sanitaryware brand TOTO will showcase its latest NEOREST collections for the first time in the UK…
TOTO will unveil its latest innovations – the NEOREST Matte Black and Matte White collections – at Clerkenwell Design Week 2025. The exhibition, hosted in the historic Charterhouse building, provides a fittingly refined backdrop for the UK debut of these cutting-edge designs which include toilets, baths and washbasins.

These collections reflect a growing trend in luxury bathroom interiors: monochrome matte finishes that combine sleek aesthetics with tactile appeal. Increasingly favoured in the high-end hospitality sector, matte sanitaryware brings a sophisticated, contemporary edge to bathroom spaces.
The NEOREST matte finish – available in both black and white – offers a soft, refined alternative to traditional glossy ceramics. By absorbing rather than reflecting light, matte surfaces create a calm, exclusive ambiance that elevates the overall atmosphere of the bathroom.
This subdued finish also highlights form and texture, allowing sanitaryware to function as sculptural elements within a space. Nowhere is this more evident than in the NEOREST WX, whose extraordinary pebble-inspired shape makes a bold yet elegant design statement.

When paired with natural materials such as stone or wood, and complemented by minimalist fixtures in brushed metal or black finishes, monochrome matte pieces contribute to a cohesive and high-end design narrative. For luxury hotels, incorporating these elements offers a powerful way to differentiate bathroom aesthetics, enhance guest experience, and align with the latest trends in upscale interior design.
Visit TOTO at stand CH26 in The Charterhouse during Clerkenwell Design Week to experience the NEOREST Matte Black and Matte White collections in person.
