Once considered an unassuming and unconventional bathroom fixture, bidets have undergone a significant transformation over the years. This evolution has transformed it from a niche European luxury product to a globally recognized, easy-to-use and environmentally friendly bathroom essential. Today's bidet seats are far removed from their humble beginnings, combining comfort, hygiene and technology.

The birth of the bidet began in France at the end of the 17th century. Initially, it was just a simple basin for cleaning yourself after using the toilet. This early version was not connected to the ductwork and required manual filling and emptying. The mid-20th century was a major turning point for bidets. After World War II, as European countries rebuilt and modernized, bidets began to become a common fixture in bathrooms, especially in Southern and Eastern Europe. However, its acceptance remains limited, with many people around the world considering it an oddity. In Asian countries such as Japan, bidets have a different trajectory. The launch of the washlet by TOTO in the 1980s revolutionized the concept of a bidet. This is an integrated toilet seat with built-in bidet functionality that takes convenience and cleanliness to the next level. This innovation marked the birth of the bidet seat as we know it today.

The modern bidet seat is not just a luxury item, it is a practical, hygienic and environmentally friendly option for the modern bathroom. Welcome to contact us to learn more.
