Woodio is a Finnish company that wants consumers to rethink their relationship with ceramic bathroom products. The brand began with the idea to create wooden bathroom tiles, and eventually, this project gave way to ‘an award-winning world-class biomaterial innovation’ — the 100 percent waterproof Woodio wood material. Over the years, the brand has gone on to design everything from sinks to bathtubs, and for good reason. Traditionally, to create porcelain, engineers must fire clay up to 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit — which requires a lot of water and can result in high CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, now the brand hopes to launch a new category altogether — a toilet. It’s safe to say the news is — stirring the pot — but only time will tell if it can really catch on.
