Infrared panels offer a more technologically advanced solution, radiating heat directly onto objects and people, thereby creating an instantly warm environment.

When considering thrones fit for Royalty, it is interesting to take a look at the history of the toilet. Between the 1500s and 1700s, our Royalty would appoint a Groom of the Stool. It was the Groom of the Stool's job to talk to the King or Queen whilst they, to put it simply, sat on the throne performing the most private of tasks. The toilet back then was a velvet-cushioned wooden box, which sat above a chamber pot. The Groom of the Stool would set up this toilet throne, and also dispose of the waste.
