At KBIS 2026, TOTO transforms Booth W901 at the Orange County Convention Center into a destination for designers, architects, and design-savvy consumers seeking the future of performance-driven luxury.

Inspired by the quiet power and natural intelligence of the Aurora Borealis, Aurora introduces a new design language for the bath, one where luxury is redefined by nature, balancing refined form with breakthrough technology.

The result is a bathroom experience that transforms everyday routines into moments of calm, comfort, and wellness, shaped by design intelligence drawn directly from nature.

“KBIS 2026 marks a defining moment for TOTO,” said Taro Muroi, CEO, TOTO USA. “Aurora reflects our strategy to unite elegant design, precision engineering, and high-performance sustainability at scale.

This approach is supported by the company’s U.S.-based manufacturing, which began in 1991 and expanded with the launch of our major new production facility in Morrow, GA, in 2025, reinforcing our long-term commitment to the North American market.”
