Designed by the Roca innovation lab, together with Gabriele and Oscar Buratti, W+W is a truly exciting new product innovation from Roca.
The washbasin and WC are two essential elements in every single bathroom. Highlighting its commitment to design and innovation, Roca has combined these two elements to create W+W; an all-in-one washbasin and WC designed to maximize space and conserve water.
This ground breaking idea, incorporating Roca’s new water-reuse technology, uses waste water from the basin to fill the WC cistern, thereby reducing water usage by up to 25% compared to a standard 6/3 litre dual-flush WC. For safe hygiene there is a double filtration system to filter particle debris and chemically treat the used water before being applied to flush the WC, thereby eliminating bacteria.

The design strives for a language of harmony between building and setting.
