Toilets that can flush at the sound of your voice … Tile that harks back to the 1950s … Today’s bathroom trends are a study in contrasts, by turns forward-thinking and nostalgic. For the 2018 GreatDesign Awards, AD’s editors scoured the globe for the most eye-popping new products—from sinks to surfaces—and

tapped a few superstar designers for expert advice. So what’s our takeaway? Personality wins.
