LED Toilet Seats

Alvarae Design Studio's Customized Toto Neorest Features Soft Lighting

— December 20, 2017 — Art & Design
How do you take the very best in design and make it even better? The design team at Alvarae Design Studio, under the direction of creative director Charles Wan, have achieved just this by combining the most advanced toilet system in the world with the most high-tech of materials—aerospace-grade carbon fibre—to create truly a remarkable engineering masterpiece.

The customized Toto Neorest combines the very latest in technology with design and innovates what is one of the very best in design aesthetics and makes it even better. The unique styling of this piece can be seen in the way the mounting hardware of the toilet seat is completely concealed from view, giving it a sleek, seamless appearance.

The Alvarae X Neorest offers an even more luxurious appeal by having the silhouette of the seat picked out using a soft glow LED lighting, which creates a stunning ambience in any bathroom and of course means no more scrambling in the dark.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Toilet Systems - There is an opportunity for toilet system manufacturers to collaborate with design studios to create high-tech, customized systems.
2. Incorporating LED Lighting in Home Fixtures - An opportunity exists to incorporate LED lighting in other home functional fixtures like showers, faucets, and sinks to provide not only a clean and functional experience, but a luxurious one as well.
3. Utilizing Aerospace Grade Materials in Home Design - More opportunities exist to utilize aerospace-grade materials to create engineering masterpieces for the home appliance market, specially in bathroom and kitchen fixtures.
Industry Implications
1. Bathroom Fixture Manufacturing - Bathroom fixture manufacturers can embrace this disruptive innovation trend of blending high-tech solutions with bespoke design aesthetics to create high-end, luxurious products.
2. LED Lighting Manufacturing - LED lighting manufacturers can extend their products beyond traditional lighting applications and offer faster and more energy-efficient LED units catered to house fixtures.
3. Aerospace Manufacturing - Aerospace manufacturers can leverage their research on lighter and more robust materials like carbon fiber to create innovative home appliances, thus, expand their product applicability beyond air crafts and space technologies.
