Villeroy & Boch combines the German brand’s rich design history with today’s zeitgeist
Over the course of our lives we will spend more than two years in the bathroom. For men it's 855.8 days; for women it’s 770.8 days. Anyone who’s had to wait to use the facilities will appreciate this fact.
With the additional washing and cleaning that the current pandemic demands of us, that time will surely increase. Not just a place where we fulfil basic biological functions, the bathroom has become a sanctuary of relaxation and retreat - where we can close the door behind us and undisturbed for a short while, if the acoustics are the right, sing, and lately commit ourselves to a few well composed selfies. For all those reasons, our bathrooms, their design and layout, and the level of detail afforded to them should reflect that.
With a heritage that spans almost 275 years, premium ceramics specialist Villeroy & Boch understands this better than most. Many of the standards in the bathroom industry that we take for granted were developed and mass-produced by this trusted European sanitary brand.

Rather than rest on their laurels, this legacy continues to drive Villeroy & Boch. By improving upon designs and developing innovative solutions for every aspect of the experience, from surfaces and storage to what is delicately termed “flushing hygiene”, Villeroy & Boch have been able to move beyond making treasured “me time” convenient, pleasant and hygienic to something transformative.
