The story of Griffon
Griffon, French Toilet Manufacturer Since 1950
A French brand born from an essential need
Griffon was founded in France in the early 1950s, during a period of housing reconstruction and modernization. From the start, the brand specialized in designing sturdy, reliable, and durable toilets, created to support the daily life of French households over the long term. At a time when sanitary fixtures were primarily functional, Griffon already laid the foundation for what would make it unique: high-performance, well-made toilets with recognizable shapes, designed to last and naturally fit into the space.
The Griffon tank, an iconic signature
Very quickly, Griffon toilets established themselves as a benchmark. Their exposed tank, balanced lines, and quality craftsmanship leave a lasting mark on interiors. This iconic design gave rise to what is now the L’Original range. L’Original embodies Griffon’s historic DNA: a toilet inspired by vintage models, redesigned to meet contemporary demands for comfort, performance, and aesthetics.
The Original: Between Heritage and Contemporary Reinterpretation
Available as a wall-hung toilet or a floor-standing toilet, The Original preserves the spirit of the first Griffon toilets while incorporating modern technologies.
Its retro design makes it a preferred choice for:
- renovations of old houses
- hotels and characterful venues
- unique decoration projects
Griffon: a meeting of design and tradition
True to its history, Griffon has evolved with usage and interior architecture. It is in this continuity that the The Tube range was born. With the wall-mounted and floor-standing versions, Griffon offers a more minimalist, more graphic design, created for contemporary interiors and architectural projects. The Tube marks a new chapter in the brand’s history: that of a designer toilet manufacturer capable of combining industrial heritage with aesthetic modernity.
A Preserved French Expertise
For over 75 years, Griffon has championed local and demanding manufacturing. The brand relies on a network of French industrial partners, selected for their expertise and commitment to quality. This approach is now featured on the Expertise & Partners page and is officially recognized by the Origine France Garantie Label. Every Griffon toilet is designed to offer: great durability, excellent repairability, and a lifespan superior to the market average.
