The Rise of Compact Sanitaryware
The trend of downsizing bathroom environments in the 80s and 90s led to the creation of compact sanitaryware. Today, these products have a strong market presence, particularly in renovation projects and homes with multiple bathrooms. Characterized by depths of 50 cm or less, these sanitaryware units often feature toilet seats with measurements under 40 cm.
Pioneers of Compact Sanitaryware: Ideal Standard’s Small Series
The Small series by Ideal Standard was a game-changer in the industry. Introduced in the 90s, it allowed for the creation of small bathrooms in limited spaces. The series’ success led to the development of Small+, which maintained the same measurements but introduced more tapered forms and suspended sanitaryware.
Replacement toilet seats for both series are available. For the Small series first version you can find it at the following link [ open LINK ], for the Small+ version at the following link [ open LINK ]
