Brain drain

American Standard has given us anti-bacterial toilets and bathtubs. The world's largest maker of bathroom and kitchen products has also come up with a Champion toilet it promises will never clog (available in Hong Kong at the end of the year). So if you're feeling flush, it's worth checking out the company's recently opened 3,000-square-foot flagship showroom (233 Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, tel: 2507 2107), which features designs by such notables as Marc Newson and David Chipperfield. Also represented are German designers Achim Pohl and Tomas Fiegl, winners of the prestigious Red Dot design award for their minimalist Moments series. The Moments suite (below; toilet, $5,600; semi pedestal with mixer, $3,800; bathtub with mixer, $6,200) will be available in Hong Kong by August.
