The Cleanet Riva shower WC
CLEVER CLEANET As technology continues to influence bathroom design, the market for shower toilets in the UK is gaining momentum…

esigned exclusively for Laufen by Swiss designer Peter Wirz, the Cleanet Riva shower WC combines beautiful styling, hygienic comfort and user-friendly technology in one compact design. Cleverly integrating its technology into its closed ceramic body, the shower toilet features a wide range of intuitive functions to aid hygienic comfort and health. It uses a clever operating concept on two levels: In everyday use, the shower toilet is operated by pushing or twisting a stainless steel rotary button at the side. The user can also select basic or detailed settings – including a softer lady shower or extra power mode - using a simple touch screen remote control. The Cleanet Riva also features a multi-stage hygiene concept, where the whole water circulation system is thermally cleaned and descaled at regular intervals. For easy cleaning, the design is joint-free
and the ceramic has been treated with dirtrepellent LCC. The seat and lid also feature a quick-release function. LED night lighting with a signalling function and an automatic air purifier also feature in the design. Peter adds, “The Cleanet Riva was designed with a vision of pure simplicity at the forefront of our work. Consumers do not want an electronic toilet that looks like a machine. That is why we have made the Riva as slim and as elegant as possible, in the ceramic unibody design of a classic toilet. We deliberately kept its innovative technology in the background. Only the intuitive stainless steel rotary button hints at the superior comfort and hygiene of the toilet. As designers, we know of no other shower toilet that combines both function and design for such a high level of hygiene. Cleanliness has been considered in every aspect of the design.”
