The founders
Across Japan and much of Asia, the smart toilet isn’t a luxury — it’s simply how a bathroom works. A warm-water wash instead of paper. A heated seat on a cold morning. A lid that closes itself. Once you’ve lived with it, a cold ceramic bowl feels like a step back in time.
Jamie Reid
Co-founder & Design Director
Jamie is a chartered architect — registered with the ARB and a member of the RIBA and RIAS. He brings an architect’s eye to Tresani: how a piece sits in a room, how restraint reads as quality, how the smallest details earn their place. To him, the cleverest technology is the kind that feels quiet — solving an everyday problem without ever announcing it.
Jason Brodie
Co-founder & Technical Director
Jason is a plumber by trade, with years spent fitting bathrooms across the UK. He knows these products from the installer’s side in — what customers actually ask for, what makes a fitting clean and reliable, and what separates a toilet that performs from one that only promises. If it wouldn’t pass on one of his own jobs, it doesn’t carry the Tresani name.
It began with travel — with bathrooms abroad where the smart toilet wasn’t a statement, just the obvious way to build a room. Back in the UK, the two of them found a market that hadn’t caught up: smart toilets that were overpriced, and under-designed for the homes they were meant to sit in. So they built the one they’d want in their own homes — shaped by an architect’s eye for how it looks and feels, held to a tradesman’s standard for how it’s fitted and how it lasts. Two trades, one standard. That’s Tresani.
