Sustainable, long-lasting, beautiful and smart – Subway 3.0: A bathroom for life

It is the first and last stop of the day: the bathroom. This is where we get ready in the morning and unwind in the evening, where we find time for ourselves and our family. In brief: the bathroom is one of the most important rooms in any home. No collection reflects this view better than Subway from Villeroy & Boch. The revamped Subway 3.0 has made the popular family bathroom ready for the future – with the patent-pending TwistFlush toilet that saves water with every flush, long-lasting materials, smart functions and a timelessly beautiful design. The result is a bathroom that will last – and can be enjoyed – for a very long time.

Water-saving toilet with TwistFlush

A bathroom collection with everything that is important in the bathroom, now and in the future – that is the aspiration of Subway 3.0, the new generation of the successful Subway collection. The centrepiece of the collection is the water-saving, super clean TwistFlush toilet. The secret: the patent-pending TwistFlush technology uses the physical force of a controlled water vortex, which vigorously flushes almost all of the inside of the toilet bowl while carrying waste away – and very quietly at that. The conical, completely rimless bowl with super smooth walls makes it difficult for dirt to stick and also ensures that the TwistFlush system does an excellent job even with a smaller amount of water. In turn the toilet only needs 4.5 litres for a large flush and a mere 3 litres for a small one. A four-person family can save up to 19,700* litres of water a year – with maximum hygiene and banning annoying toilet brushes to the past. CeramicPlus and AntiBac make it even more hygienic while reducing bacterial growth by 99.9%. Thanks to its streamlined sides, closed edges and slim seat, the toilet also impresses with its modern and timeless look.

Washbasins for all tastes

The Subway 3.0 washbasins are defined by a fine, modern design with straight, angular lines. Thin-walled, narrow edges and small radii inside and out give the ceramics a delicate look. Then there are the functional aspects: the deep bowls and wide side shelves offer the best user comfort and are softened visually by a slim outer edge. One of the trademarks of the collection is the oblong overflow hole, which rounds off the design in style. The range includes a large selection for all needs: from a small hand washbasin that is also available in a corner version to vanity washbasins of different widths through to a double solution.

Space for the essentials

Bathroom furniture creates a cosy feel, provides practical storage space and keeps everything neat and tidy – and at best looks so good that it transforms the entire bathroom into a feel-good oasis. The new Subway 3.0 furniture meets this demand with internal fronts, thin walls, open shelf elements and full-length handle profiles. The Brillant White, White Matt and Volcano Black plain colours are perfect for timeless interiors, the soft hues of Taupe and Cashmere Grey impress with their natural flair, and Marine Blue and Graphite bring a trendy charm to the bathroom. Moreover, the furniture in the warm Arizona Oak, Nordic Oak, Kansas Oak and Stone Oak wood effects creates a comfy atmosphere in the bathroom. Individual touches can be added with the handles, which are available in Aluminium and Volcano Black and can be combined with any furniture colour and surface. Furthermore, the handles are available in plain colours apart from white, and this helps keep the varnished furniture in a completely monochromatic tone-on-tone design. The furniture range consists of vanity units, side cabinets, tall cabinets, open mirror shelves and a sideboard. Thanks to the anti-fingerprint coating, the surfaces are very low maintenance.

Smart light and new mirrors

The washing area design is complemented by an illuminated mirror that always provides the right light whatever the time of day – from a functional to a mood light. Subway 3.0 includes angular mirrors in different sizes and two round mirrors with an aluminium frame in White or Black Matt. The all-round, dimmable LED light strip can either be switched on and off via a touch sensor or connected to all standard smart home systems with a ZigBee® kit (sold separately). The vanity units can also be equipped with drawer and bottom lighting and even retrofitted with ZigBee® to make them smart home-enabled.

Ergonomic tubs: Guaranteeing peace and relaxation

A bathroom that lasts a lifetime deserves the best materials. The Subway 3.0 baths are made from high-quality Quaryl®, which contains more than 60% quartz – and makes the tubs very scratch-proof and colour-fast. Featuring a backrest with edges that are only 10 mm thin and an oblong overflow, the baths embrace the collection's typical design elements and blend seamlessly into the bathroom interior. The very ergonomic backrest provides a comfortable sitting position and pleasant head posture. The tub can also be upgraded with another comfort feature, the new SilentFlow system for running bath water: the water flows into the tub from below in the shape of a star – so there’s no annoying splashing while preparing an indulgent, relaxing bath.
