LIXIL’s history can be traced back over 100 years when LIXIL’s predecessors first combined a fixation for design and color with a passion for Japanese craftsmanship and created products that have redefined the spaces we call home.
Architects and designers have played a key role throughout LIXIL's rich history, integrating functionality with refined aesthetics. This has been the foundation of what we call our Living Culture - a way in which we ensure that our products are always relevant to people, our lifestyles, and the times in which we live.
Living Culture embodies LIXIL's passion to be the Link to Good Living. The spirit of Living Culture will continue to be at the core of every product we make and service we provide, around the world and for generations to come.
