The Lacava Company marries two countries and their strengths—Italy and the United States. Using the Old World techniques and design of one country and the contemporary needs of another, Lacava offers modern and transitional bathroom products for residential and commercial markets. While their washbasins and faucets are made in Italy, all their furniture is made in the USA by skilled master craftsmen. What they take from Italy is a strong aesthetic history: “The foundation of each civilization is its love for the arts (Lacava creed).”

Flou Double Vanity. Manufactured by Lacava.

What they take from the United States is an emphasis on customer service and technology—their Chicago location enables Lacava to offer local, personalized service. The result of all this globalism speaks for itself. Take, for instance, Lacava’s new product, the Flou Double Vanity. With curves as dramatic as Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot and lines as smooth as Rock Hudson in Pillow Talk, Flou might make your mouth water. This free-standing base has five drawers, each of which employs soft closing glides—so it’ll be as quiet as you need it to be, should you be arranging illicit rendez-vous in the powder room.

Concealed European hinges are as secret as your desires. In ebony macassar, Flou looks even sexier, its gorgeous striations forming the elaborate patterns of some exotic animal. At 76″ w x 22.5″ d x 31.5″ h, the Flou Double Vanity accommodates two intimately. Choose any wood you like and pair it with any countertop. Flou puts you in control; you can customize it to your particular wishes (penchants even). If you haven’t already figured it out, Flou is sexy—or should I say steamy?
