Unique Bathroom Furnishings

Kent Griswold on 10 Oct 2008

    

Hide and Sink

 

 

Hide and Sink

I want to thank Justin from materialicious.com for pointing me to a couple of space saving bathroom fixtures.

This is very modern furniture that would be used in a small house or tiny living area. The first is the hideaway sink which pulls out of the wall only when needed. Give guests more space to move around in a powder room by tucking the sink into a drawer that slides in and out of the wall. I have not been able to track down the price on this one yet.

The second is the Vertabrae Bathroom System which is an incredibly compact and vertical bathroom unit that houses just about everything you need in your bathroom. This stylish aluminum sculpture of seven stacked modules that rotate from the center “spinal column,” has every basic item you need in a bathroom, plus it leaves you some room to bend down to touch your toes without hitting your head on the way up.
With a toilet, sink and two modules (one for children), the Vertibrae gives most of the space in your bathroom right back to you. And the Vertebrae even provides some space for shower, bath, shaving, and cosmetic products right along the column. Cleaning supplies and your favorite toilet paper… in the cupboards under the toilet seat. This one may be only for those who have plenty to spend, as it is my understanding the price is $17k for the unit.

These modern bathroom units would fit in very well in a modern home and go along with such things as a modern bedroom using a modern platform bed,  a modern living room using a modern sectional sofa, modern tv stand, modern leather sofas. So you rustic folks like me may chose to look for something else. Anyway some cool stuff worth looking into.

    One thing that I wonder about re the drawer sink - what’s on the other side of the wall for the drawer to slide into?

    Very good point! You would need a deep enough wall or space behind it to hold the sink. Maybe if it is backing a closet it would not defeat the purpose as much.
