1. Contemporary inspiration

Our contemporary collections reflect the latest trends with their clean and simple functional design. This sleek style features clean, straight, horizontal lines with no frills.

Our contemporary furniture is often wall-mounted or on a toe-kick drawer in a different color than the vanity to maintain a light and airy look. Two-tone designs are featured in a contemporary decor, as are straight facades without moldings.

2. Mini-home inspiration

Inspired by the mini-home trend in recent years, the MINI series was specifically designed to optimize the layout of the smallest bathrooms, whether in a tiny home, condo or powder room. The compact vanity is only 12" or 16" deep depending on the collection.

The MINI STUDIO and MINI CONDO collections offer ingenious solutions for maximizing storage space, while the MINI CHIC collection is more in keeping with a minimalist decor.
