Duravit is a German manufacturer (founded 1817) that makes premium designer toilets for the architect-specified and luxury-residential markets. Their US distribution is more limited than Kohler/TOTO/American Standard — primarily through specialty plumbing showrooms — but the brand defines the modern European aesthetic that other brands now imitate at lower price points.
The Duravit Vero Air Wall-Hung ($799–$1,399 bowl + $500 Geberit carrier) is the brand's contemporary flagship — angular German designer aesthetic, rimless flush, comfort-height adjustable via carrier mount position. Designed by Sieger Design.
Duravit Starck 2 Wall-Hung ($1,099–$1,899 bowl) is the premier Philippe Starck collaboration — distinctive Starck aesthetic, premium ceramic quality, the toilet you specify when "Duravit" is part of the bathroom's design statement. The ME by Starck ($699–$1,099) is the lower-tier Starck design from the same family.
For floor-mount Duravit, the D-Neo Two-Piece ($1,099–$1,499) is the most accessible model — contemporary skirted-trapway design, comfort-height elongated, rimless flush. The Happy D.2 Wall-Hung ($899–$1,399) is the playful designer alternative.
What you give up at this brand: cost (Duravit toilets are 2–3x the price of equivalent US-brand offerings), parts availability (premium plumbing supply only, no Home Depot/Lowe's), and US installation expertise (many US plumbers haven't worked with Geberit carriers, which the Duravit wall-hung line requires). For projects where European designer aesthetic is the goal, Duravit is the right brand. For value-tier renovations, Kohler/TOTO/AmStd at one-third the price deliver functionally equivalent toilets.
