Unconventional Toilets and Custom Toilet Seats
Italian ceramic manufacturers have always sought to innovate and create unique and unconventional toilets. In this article, we’ll explore some of these toilet series that stand out for their artistic craftsmanship, unusual shapes, and custom measurements. Many of these sanitary ware were made in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and of each of them Sintesibagno and its store is still able to offer you the practically perfect toilet seat.

Also from the 1950s and 1960s were sanitary ware from a ceramic company that was very popular on the market at the time. It was Astra Ceramica, which offered incredibly crafted ceramic series, both in the body of the bowl and in the upper part.
The WCs had an imperial style typical of the atmosphere of ancient Rome and Versailles.
They were called: Pantheon Series and Versailles Series.

To conclude this category, we would like to show you a much more recent series, precisely to underline the fact that ceramic manufacturers tend to reintroduce these products on the market from time to time. This series was produced until recently by Eos Ceramica and was called Riace, in the store at this link [ open LINK ]

Another sanitary fixture characterised by changes in the depth of the upper surface is the Cadore series produced by GSI Facis. In this model the characteristic is a lowering of the top of the toilet seat from about 1/3 from the back of the toilet. You will need a made-to-measure toilet seat which you can find at this Sintesibagno link [ open LINK ]
WCs that double as bidets may seem like a modern innovation, but Simas Ceramica actually introduced this concept over 30 years ago with their Synthesis series. This ingenious design extends the length of the toilet bowl to accommodate a built-in hand shower, which can be easily removed and used as needed. The clever solution devised by the Civita Castellana ceramists has stood the test of time, with the Synthesis series still in production today. A Customized Toilet Seat Solution! The unique shape and size of the hand shower necessitated a perfectly cut and shaped toilet seat to ensure seamless integration and optimal functionality. You can see it in the picture on the right and you can find it in the Sintesibagno shop at this link [ open LINK ]
