Can a toilet be a designer piece without compromising functionality or hygiene?

This was the question that Duravit explored together with the Italian industrial designer Antonio Bullo. And their collaboration bore fruit: a toilet that combines a hygienic ceramic interior with a customizable exterior made from DuroCast Smooth.
“I created Millio to breathe new life into objects that are otherwise confined to their bare essentials,” said Antonio Bullo, explaining the basic idea of the toilet. The design includes three surface finishes that are available in different colors. “Millio goes beyond mere function by dissolving the division that currently exists between sanitary ceramic and the bathroom. Millio is completely integrated into the aesthetics of the bathroom,” Bullo went on to say, describing his creation.


The best of both worlds: innovative material composite

The toilet is made from two parts that are a perfect fit for one another: a ceramic toilet interior and a mineral-material exterior that is pleasantly soft to the touch. The unique material combination offers the best of both worlds: the customizable exterior provides maximum design versatility combined with maximum hygiene thanks to the ceramic toilet interior. Duravit’s choice for the exterior is DuroCast Smooth, a durable material that is more than equal to the rigors of everyday use.


WC design with maximum individuality

With its gel coat finish that enables a varied combination of colors and textures to be realized, DuroCast Smooth is the last word in design versatility. Alongside the color palette of five contemporary colors curated by designer Christian Werner, the designer toilet is also available in three different surface textures: grooved and patterned textures provide an enticing visual and tactile alternative to the smooth standard version. In addition to the toilet, the color concept also includes other Duravit products that can be combined in a variety of ways – from a monochrome bathroom in Parlour Blue right up to a multi-colored composition.
A special option is available for order quantities of 24 units and above. Ordered in such numbers, Millio can be manufactured in any color, opening up completely new design opportunities for projects. This may be the case for instance if the color of a brand identity is to be consistently integrated in a building concept and becomes part of the overall design concept.


Design that meets the highest hygiene standards

As a ceramic specialist with decades of experience, Duravit selected hygienic ceramic as the material for the body of the Millio toilet. The inner basin of the glossy white surface was additionally finished with the HygieneGlaze antibacterial glaze to offer maximum hygiene. After just six hours, 90% of bacteria (e.g. coli bacteria) are inhibited and after 24 hours 99.9% – an unprecedented level. The exterior made from DuroCast Smooth is affixed to the ceramic bowl via a waterproof bond, making it easy to clean. Similarly, the pore-free surface of the mineral material plays its part in keeping the toilet clean and hygienic.
