Plumbing manufacturer TOTO is unveiling a new vision for the modern bathroom at the 2026 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show and debuting the Aurora WASHLET+ S7A One-Piece Bidet Toilet with an INTEGRAVITY SYSTEM flush engine.
Defined by a sculptural form with a fully skirted silhouette, soft flared curves and balanced proportions, the Aurora WASHLET+ S7A One-Piece Bidet Toilet goes beyond aesthetics with a Universal Height design that supports comfort and accessibility. In addition to a proprietary rimless bowl design, this integrated toilet and WASHLET+ design impresses with CEFIONTECT ceramic glaze and tornado-style flushing dynamics, which work in tandem to enhance cleanliness and reduce maintenance. Aurora's innovative, gravity-driven INTEGRAVITY SYSTEM technology was developed for one-piece toilets and additionally extends bowl and rim cleaning coverage.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Integrated Smart Sanitary Systems
- A convergence of toilet and electronic washlet functions points to opportunities for compact, cloud-connected hygiene platforms that combine sensing, personalized water delivery, and predictive maintenance.
- Rimless Gravity-driven Flushing
- Advances in rimless bowl geometry paired with optimized gravity flush engines suggest potential for low-energy, high-efficiency flushing architectures that reduce clogging and cleaning frequency.
- Accessible Sculptural Bathroom Design
- Bold, fully skirted one-piece silhouettes with Universal Height ergonomics indicate openings for products that blend high-design aesthetics with inclusive accessibility and simplified installation.
Where This Applies
- Residential Bathroom Manufacturing
- Home fixture makers could leverage integrated washlet technologies to create premium, space-efficient bathroom suites that emphasize hygiene, low maintenance, and seamless aesthetics.
- Commercial Hospitality Facilities
- Hotels and short-stay accommodations may benefit from durable, easy-to-clean one-piece bidet toilets that offer guest-focused comfort while lowering cleaning labor and water usage.
- Healthcare and Assisted Living
- Care facilities stand to gain from universally accessible, hygienic toilet systems that reduce caregiver burden through enhanced cleanliness, safer ergonomics, and remote monitoring potential.
