Known for its award-winning biomaterial, Woodio has expanded its bathroom offerings with Block, a wall-mounted toilet constructed from wood composite.

Following its philosophy of lessening the environmental burden of using ceramics for bathrooms, the Finnish design brand focus on delivering quality and innovative products with as little carbon footprints as possible. With Block, Woodio claims the toilet generates fewer emissions than ceramic, thanks to the brand’s in-house wood composite material made with locally sourced offcuts and aspen.

Featuring a subtle, round-lined exterior, the toilet comes in a timeless yet modern design without sacrificing durability. Compatible with most flushing systems, its wall-mounted nature contributes to creating a more spacious bathroom design. Although it’s made of wood chips, the toilet is 100% waterproof and impact-resistant, thanks to the incorporation of bioplastic resins and fossil-based polyester.

The Block Wall Hung Toilet is available on a made-to-order basis. It offers 10 colorways with prices ranging from €767 – €888 EUR (approximately $827 – $967 USD). For more information, head to Woodio’s official website.
