Discovering SIMAS Ceramics: Iconic Series and Replacement Toilet Seats
In our previous posts, we began exploring the sanitaryware models from SIMAS (Italian Society for Sanitary Ware Manufacturing), a benchmark for excellence in the Civita Castellana ceramic district. We previously covered classics like Arcade, Londra, and LFT Spazio, as well as modern designs by Terri Pecora such as Luna and E-Line. Today, we dive into other iconic series that have shaped the brand’s history.
FROZEN Series – The Queen of Rectangular Design
The Frozen series is what truly crowned Simas as a leader in high-end design. It is arguably the ultimate representation of the rectangular shape in the bathroom industry.
“A masterpiece of formal perfection. When people talk about squared or rectangular sanitaryware, Frozen is the undisputed point of reference.”
When first presented, it left professionals speechless—it was a bold statement of style. While its premium price point (due to complex manufacturing) made it an exclusive choice, its visual impact remains legendary.

GAMMA Series – 70s and 80s Retro
The Gamma toilet features a classic “squared-with-rounded-corners” look typical of the 70s and 80s, drawing inspiration from the famous SQUARE by Pozzi Ginori. A distinctive detail is the base, which features a clever change in depth to streamline the silhouette.

GATE Series – Sleek 90s Proportions
Launched in the 90s, the Gate series features a lightweight base supporting a forward-leaning upper body. From above, the shape is almost oval. It is considered a compact toilet, with the seat measuring only 39/40 cm from the fixing holes.

SLY Series – Triangular Evolution
Also from the 90s, Sly evolved from the Gate concept but with larger dimensions. The shape shifts from oval to almost triangular.

BIARRITZ Series – Timeless Classic Style
Simas is a specialist in the “Old England” / Retro category. Biarritz offers a simple yet elegant style, characterized by sculpted “steps” on the base and the rim.
