This bathroom vanity unit design was based on an original piece designed by Gerrit Rietveld c. 1923, for a music cabinet or sewing cupboard. We adapted the dimensions of the original piece so that it could be used as a bathroom vanity unit. The vanity showed Rietveld playing with asymmetry much more in his designs. The cabinet below, in black, white and grey, is how the cabinet was originally made. There is a lot of similarity between this piece and his famous Berlin chair, both made in 1923, and use asymmetrical planes and the same colour palette.

While a vanity unit is always a practical piece of furniture, but when it is in the De Stijl style and painted in typical De Stijl colours it takes on a striking presence in any bathroom. The freestanding look of the piece would make for a very clean modernist looking bathroom interior. Shown painted in typical De Stijl colours, but these could be changed to whatever colour combination you wanted.

The vanity unit has been shown with a sit-on sink, but it could just as easily have an undermounted one. The worktop can be granite, marble, quartz, painted wood, Corian, glass, etc. As this is made to order then it can be made to whatever sizes, within reason, & finish(es) you want. This is shown as a smallish family size vanity unit, but it could be much wider for more presence, depending on the scale of the bathroom. We don't disclose sizes or prices until we've agreed a spec with a customer.
