Virtual Worlds lights up TOTO with first CAD catalogue for UK

TOTO has joined forces with Virtual Worlds, to make its cutting-edge bathroom ranges available for the first time to UK retailers and designers, on a leading UK CAD system.  Virtual Worlds Professional from Logicom is the sophisticated, 3D interactive CAD software, used by thousands of designers in the UK.

This strategic alliance by the major Japanese manufacturer, renowned for its design and technological innovation, and Virtual Worlds creator of the pioneering KBB CAD system, is important to TOTO’s continued success, as explained by UK General Manager, Mr. Sohei Nishida: “This is a valuable resource for our retail partners and their designers, helping them to create the perfect TOTO bathroom for each client.”

The TOTO product catalogues have just gone live on the Virtual Worlds Professional software and are available free of charge to all its licensees.  Capturing the essence of TOTO’s cutting-edge product designs was critical and Virtual Worlds developed new modelling techniques, including a realistic way to reflect TOTO’s unique Luminist material, which can be back lit in basins and baths.

Mr Masahiro Maruhashi, Product Promotion Department Manager, TOTO Europe GmbH is delighted with the result: “This is an impressive tool that gives our customers and their consultants the ability to try out different TOTO products at the planning stage and produce realistic views of their creative concepts.”  

Monita Cheung, Designer at C P Hart, the designer bathroom retailer, is likewise enthusiastic: ‘Virtual Worlds is an essential design tool for C.P. Hart. We’re delighted that TOTO, one of our best-selling brands, is now included on our Virtual Worlds program. The TOTO range is such a unique looking product, with great detail, that we really struggled to find another item to use in place of this on our 3D visuals. Now, we can create impressive customer visuals, which truly represent our design concepts and provide a true photorealistic image for our clients”.
