MORROW, Ga., Sept. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TOTO, the world's largest plumbing manufacturer with more than $5.1 billion in annual sales, announced today that it is opening a high-design, experiential Gallery to display its innovative bath products in New York's Flatiron District, the City's Home Design Center.

Upon entering TOTO's flagship New York Gallery, visitors are immediately greeted by a state-of-the-art technology display, which contains projection mapping, explanatory videos, 3D demonstrations, and product cutaways. This new display brings to life visually the technological superiority of TOTO's feature products - such as the NEOREST 750H with Actilight, Washlet personal cleansing system, Tornado Flushing System, Aero Showers' air injection technology, CeFiONtect nano-technology glaze, and EcoPower self-sustaining hydropower technology - demonstrating how TOTO achieved these advanced levels of technological innovation.

Designed with an open floor plan, the elegant space draws visitors to the NEOREST Suite, which showcases the most intuitive, design-forward collection of products available for the whole bathroom. As they visit the NEOREST vignette, guests can see what a luxury TOTO bathroom looks like when fully realized.

Located at 20 West 22nd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues, near the southwest side of Madison Square Park, the new TOTO Gallery is a non-retail space that serves as an educational resource where consumers, architects and designers may come to learn more about TOTO, its innovative products and technologies, and forward-looking environmental and corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Designed by the world-renowned Gensler architectural firm, TOTO's new Gallery boasts more than 4,000 square feet of the brand's top designs and was inspired by the classically modern elegance of TOTO's innovative product lines.
