Understated Presence

Our wish is to provide,
as an integral part of everyday life, enrichment to every person.
Our goal is to design products
with integrity and longevity,
to which people form an attachment over time.
Weaving together spaces that are beautiful and comfortable,
and experiences that are pleasant.

This is the TOTO design.

Users play the leading role and design plays a supporting role.
This is our concept of “Understated Presence.”

Design should not be so assertive that it interferes with the user’s uniqueness of home and lifestyle.
The essence of “ Understated Presence ” is our concept of users in the leading role,
with design playing a supporting role. We are committed to designing products that can be used comfortably every day,
in consideration of our users and their lifestyles.

Episodes that unravel Understated Presence

A beauty that resides
in easy-to-use tools

Many excellent tools have supported our lives since ancient times.
Those tools are easily used without conscious thought
and have an unobtrusive beauty that becomes a part of daily life
through the graceful form of their use.
This is a concept that we value and pursue when designing our products.

the rice bowl.

Consider the rice bowl. Its base makes it easy to hold without burning your hand. It also naturally makes the way you hold it beautiful.

a traditional iron kettle

This is a traditional iron kettle. The pattern on the surface increases the surface area to improve heat retention, but it is also decorative and pleasing to the eye.

A Japanese kitchen knife

A Japanese kitchen knife looks simple, but its form is necessary to enhance the knife's sharpness and to best match certain ingredients and cooking styles. The more you use it, the better it fits your hand, creating a feeling of attachment.

Designs that harmonize with
and complement your home

Living spaces are decorated and finished by the people who live there according to their own tastes.
We want our products, which constitute spaces
as a construction material, to be designed to complement, not hinder,
the daily lives of many kinds of people.

construction materials

As construction materials, our products enhance unique lifestyles while harmonizing with the space surrounded by users' favorite furniture, accessories, plants, and other items.

unique decorations and arrangements

We provide environments that facilitate and enhance our users' unique decorations and arrangements.

seasonal decorations of flowers, plants, and trees

Our designs allow the feeling that gently blends with a richness of time with seasonal decorations of flowers, plants, and trees.

The three design elements

The three design elements that realize “Understated Presence”

“A part of everyday life”
“Offers peace of mind”
“Gentle to the human body”

Our designs allow unconscious use with comfortable movements and postures.
They are beautifully designed to provide comfortable daily experiences.

NEOREST

NX

Toilet seats directly touch the skin, so we design them to be easy to sit on and clean to allow comfortable use every day. The toilet seat has a curved form we have researched and developed to lead users to a posture that facilitates toilet use.

FLOTATION TUB

This is a new bathtub concept, one that allows relaxation of body and mind while being immersed in a sense of floating. We have scientifically derived a relaxing form that maintains posture and stabilizes the center of gravity in a lay-down bathing style, creating a gentle design that envelops the user.

“Harmonizes with space”
“Pleasant interface between people and objects”
“Beautiful appliance”

We create spaces that blend by eliminating unnecessary elements and allowing room for residents to create arrangements. Through design, we create forms that blend with architectural spaces, touch the human body, and feel comfortable.

NEOREST

LS

While controlling the inflection of straight lines and curves, the design realizes both harmony with the architectural space and a graceful character. The design subtly adds accents and allows for interior coordination.

Washbasin TA

The asymmetrical form is inspired by uneven and gently fluctuating shapes existing in the natural world. It creates fortuitous accents that change their impression depending on the angle from which they are viewed in everyday settings.

전 세계에 TOTO 팬을 늘려 갑니다.

TOTO는 탄소 중립적이고 지속 가능한 사회의 실현에 기여함으로써 모든 사람에게 편안하고 건강한 라이프스타일을 제공하는 것을 목표로 합니다.

TOTO의 초대 사장 오쿠라 카즈치카는 후임인 모모키 사부로 사장에게 편지를 썼습니다. 그 편지에 담긴 내용은 TOTO 그룹이 창립자의 말로서 지금까지 소중히 간직하고 있습니다. 그 내용에는 "항상 친절이 우선" 이고, 우리의 목표는 좋은 제품을 제공하여 고객을 만족시키는 것이며, 이를 달성함으로써 이윤과 보상이 뒤따를 것이라고 말합니다.

친절과 정직은 보편적인 가치입니다. 창립자의 말씀은 “이 세상의 많은 사람들이 이윤의 그림자를 쫓습니다. TOTO의 독특함, 친절함, 정직함, 고객지향적인 성격을 바탕으로 사업을 진행함으로써 다양한 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것입니다. 앞으로도 정직하게 사회문제에 직면하고 환경문제에 신중하게 임하면 반드시 이익이 뒤따를 것입니다. 이것은 바뀌어서는 안 되는 것입니다.”

회사의 모토, TOTO 그룹 기업 이념, 창립자 말씀의 정신을 바탕으로 한 TOTO 그룹 기업행동헌장은 직원이 공유하고 계승할 TOTO의 계승된 가치, 즉 “마음”을 대변하고 있으며, 이는 불변의 것입니다. 우리의 '신체'(비즈니스 활동)은 비즈니스 환경의 변화에 따라 적응하지만, '마음'은 사원 한 사람 한 사람의 행동의 전제조건으로 확고하게 뿌리 내리고 있기에 그것이 TOTO 그룹의 강점이 되고 있습니다.

2021년 4월 장기적인 관점에서 우리가 이루고자 하는 생활방식이나 사회, 환경을 명확히 하는 새로운 공유가치 창출전략 TOTO WILL2030(이하 WILL2030)을 수립하였습니다. TOTO 그룹은 2050년 탄소중립적이고 지속 가능한 사회의 실현을 통해 사회와 환경 문제 해결에 기여하면서, 모두에게 편안하고 건강한 생활방식을 제공하는 것을 목표로 경제 성장을 달성 할 것입니다. 이러한 이유로, 우리의 기업 철학을 구현하기 위해 그룹 전체가 철저하게 다루어야 하는 주요 핵심 주제는 청결과 편안함, 환경 및 관계입니다.

최근 몇 년 사이 국제 사회의 분열, 기후 변화로 인한 지구 온난화 등 다양한 사회 환경의 변화가 일어나고 있습니다. 우리의 사명은 지속 가능한 방식으로 지구 환경을 물려주는 것입니다. 이러한 변화에 대응하는 속도를 높이고 참여 영역을 넓혀 우리의 철학을 구현해야 한다고 생각합니다. 또한 WILL2030에 기반한 사업 활동을 통해 국제연합(UN)의 지속가능발전목표(SDGs)에도 기여하겠습니다.

TOTO 그룹의 사업 활동은 모든 이해 관계자의 지원과 협력 덕분에 가능합니다. 먼저, 우리 스스로가 진정성 있고 감사하는 마음을 갖는 것이 출발점입니다. 고객과 사회를 위한 밝은 미래를 열어가기 위해 임직원이 힘을 합쳐 노력하겠습니다.
