A household name in sanitary products in Indonesia, TOTO has expanded its presence with the opening of a gallery in Indonesia Design District PIK2. The reason behind choosing the location is the confidence that the compound is set to play a major role in shaping the development of interior design in the country.
Designed by Nikita Stephanie, founder of NN Studio based in Singapore and Bandung, the showroom blends functionality with artistry, offering visitors an immersive experience. Inspired by the concept of “Hashi – Boundary in Motion,” the façade features vertical lines with random spacing, evoking a sense of fluidity and movement. These lines animate the building, blurring the distinction between inside and out, whilst the translucent façade serves as a canvas for a dynamic interplay of light and form.
Upon stepping into the showroom, visitors find themselves surrounded by an atmosphere of tranquillity and inspiration, sparking ideas for their own living spaces. Beyond offering sanitary products, the gallery serves as a one-stop solution for bathroom and home essentials, featuring highlighted brands such as TOTO and TOTO Kitchen. It’s also worth noting, there’s a café within the gallery to enrich visitors’ experience, taking them into a space where art, design, and innovation converge at TOTO Gallery.
