It may be described as Bauhaus minimalism, with a soupçon of Asian influence. It may be admired for its lavish Old World materials, married to 21st century surfaces. It may be appreciated solely for the cool and calming ambience it adds to any bathroom. No matter how it is presented, the Studio washstand, from the Walker Zanger Bathroom Vanity Collection, is an artistic achievement of modernist style which is the perfect addition to a contemporary bathroom suite-as well as a more eclectic, or transitional bathroom design. It combines austere form with day-to-day function, making it as beautiful to behold as it is to live with.
The Studio washstand follows a clean, rectilinear plan-form, with brushed stainless steel base and legs, sporting an open-lattice shelf at the bottom, ideal for keeping towels both ready and airfreshened. The top is hand-crafted from a single piece of honed Italian Calacata Vaglia marble, notable for its delicate and subtle veining. The top comes pre-drilled, ready to accept standard three-hole widespread faucets. In the center of the Studio washstand top resides a rectangular white ceramic under-mount sink.
The Studio washstand features two front-facing drawers, each adorned with a simple steel pull, and lined with genuine leather, softening-and harmonizing with-the cooler surfaces of its exterior. While the lines are simple, the finishes are far more sophisticated. The Studio washstand's matte lacquer finish over the stainless steel base protects the impeccable design from nicks and fingerprints.
Equally at home in a loft apartment, contemporary home, or virtually any space that celebrates the deft interplay of form and function, the Studio washstand proves that Modernism-first envisioned nearly a century ago-is as compelling and relevant today as it ever was. Indeed, the Studio washstand is a bold, sophisticated, and romantic homage to modern design.
