50s bathroom: Vanity made with Formica laminate, very cool from ‘52

Vintage 1952 Formica bathroom lavatory

Seems to me this is something we could absolutely replicate today. Also, a great solution for a small bathroom - if you need the storage space but want the ‘lightness’ of a vanity that does not create a huge square block in the middle of your space.

Other similar vanities that we have recently looked at – in Australia and the U.S.

    That is truly Fab- but do remember that the glues are NOT what they once were due to the now lower VOC’S. As a Kitchen and Bath designer I don’t reccommend laminates in the bathroom…far too wet . ( I wonder …you could get a similar look with solid surface in a solid color and a drop in china sink…)
