Ideal Standard Tulip Back to Wall Toilet Pan | Twilight Pebble

Secure a definitive piece of 1980s design with this twilight pebble toilet pan. Part of the iconic Tulip range by Ideal Standard, this model was introduced in 1982, designed by the world-renowned BFC Studios of Milan, Italy. Finished in Twilight Pebble—a deep, moody charcoal grey with subtle stony undertones—this pan offers a bold, architectural alternative to standard bathroom colours.

Product Features & Italian Design

The Tulip range is celebrated for its sculptural, organic lines, bringing a touch of Milanese luxury to the British bathroom. This specific model is a back-to-wall (BTW) pan, designed to be installed flush against a wall or furniture unit with a concealed cistern hidden behind. It features a standard horizontal outlet, making it compatible with modern plumbing connections and ideal for contemporary, minimalist renovations that require a vintage edge.

Included: Matching Pressalit Seat

Finding a colour-matched seat for discontinued 80s suites can be a significant challenge. We have included an original Pressalit toilet seat in the matching Twilight Pebble colour within the price. Pressalit is a premium manufacturer known for durable, high-quality seats, ensuring your suite remains consistent in both tone and quality.

Condition Report

This reclaimed item is in very good overall condition. While there are some very small marks on the bottom of the pan (as shown in the product images), these are hardly noticeable once the unit is installed. The vitreous china has been professionally cleaned and restored, retaining its original satin-smooth finish and deep grey lustre.

Technical Specifications

Designed with both style and comfort in mind, this pan stands 39cm high, measures 36cm wide, and is 51cm deep. Its proportions make it a comfortable choice for primary bathrooms while maintaining a sleek, space-saving profile.

Why Choose Twilight Pebble?

As one of the more elusive “architectural” colours of the late 20th century, Twilight Pebble is perfect for those looking to create a high-contrast, sophisticated interior. Whether you are replacing a damaged Tulip pan or building a new suite around this striking grey tone, this Italian-designed piece is an unmatched choice.
