As morning mist caresses the carved lintels of the Retro Series’s arched bathroom vanities, and dusk brushes the shadowed grooves of the Acro Series’s Roman column door panels, what your fingertips touch is not merely the warm texture of wood, but an aesthetic resonance spanning a century. This is no simple copy of history, but a retro revival movement that awakens classical souls in contemporary bathroom spaces — with the Retro and Acro Series as our brush, we reimagine the contemporary essence of European classical design on the canvas of time.
I. Replication Is Not the End, but the Starting Point for a Dialogue with History
The long river of European classical architecture and furniture art holds countless details worthy of reverence. The romance of French style is never superficial opulence; rather, it lies in adhering to the curve proportions of 18th-century Parisian craftsmen, just like the Retro bathroom vanity — the winding arcs of its vine carvings are precision-engineered to 3.5 centimeters, and the depth of its petal reliefs is controlled to 0.8 millimeters. One can almost hear the soft rustle of wood shavings falling on bluestone floors as craftsmen bent over their work centuries ago.
The charm of columns and arches is brought to vivid life in the Retro Series. Its column-shaped legs replicate the proportions of corridor columns in Renaissance-era palaces of Florence, with the number of flutes on the column bodies strictly following the classical norms of the "Doric order"; the arc of the arched lintels is derived from the dome curve of Rome’s Pantheon. When light filters through frosted glass over the archway, the wall shimmers with a gentle glow, reminiscent of the stained-glass windows in churches. These design languages, tested and refined by time, are not cold symbols, but historical codes that evoke emotional resonance with users.
The Roman column door panels of the Acro Series are a devout tribute to architectural aesthetics. Our designers spent three days and nights at the ruins of Rome’s Forum, sketching the differences in column carvings across eras — the capital carvings finally featured on the Acro blend the grandeur of the 1st-century Roman Empire with the vitality of the 16th-century Baroque period. The minimalist black-and-white color scheme hides subtle sophistication: the black is formulated to match the proportions of Venetian plaster, while the white mirrors the warm luster of Roman marble. The collision of these two hues embodies the profound weight of history spanning millennia.
II. Finding the Balance of Time Between Functionality and Aesthetics
Retro revival never means compromising on modern living. The pull-out door design of the Retro Series draws inspiration from bathroom vanities in early 20th-century Parisian apartments, but we have integrated modern soft-close hinges. This ensures that when the doors open and close, they retain the distinctive "soft tap" sound of classical furniture, while eliminating the harshness of abrupt collisions. The internal compartments are tailored to the storage needs of contemporary toiletries — additional waterproof shelves hold electric toothbrushes, and hidden drawers neatly store travel-sized cosmetics. Beneath its classical form lies a thoughtful understanding of modern lifestyle habits.
The sizing of the Acro Series also hides ingenuity. The Acro, with its two-door, four-drawer layout, is custom-designed for small bathroom spaces, offering compactness without feeling cramped; the Acro, with its four-door, two-drawer configuration, is better suited for larger spaces. Its symmetrical doors echo the balanced aesthetics of classical architecture, and when the drawers are opened, built-in soft light strips illuminate automatically — preserving the ritual sense of vintage furniture while solving the practical pain point of poor visibility in traditional dark cabinets. This focus on functionality transforms classical aesthetics from an unattainable display into a living companion that integrates seamlessly into daily life.
III.Turning Nostalgia into a Tangible Lifestyle
In the sunlight of America’s Southern states, a preference for retro elements has long transcended mere style choice to become a way of life. The French patterns of the Retro Series complement the wrought-iron railings of old New Orleans mansions; the Roman column lines of the Acro Series echo the colonnades of Charleston plantations. We once received feedback from a user in Texas: “When I shave in front of the Acro mirror in the morning, sunlight filters through the blinds and casts shadows of the Roman column carvings on the tiles — it feels exactly like the scene in my grandfather’s study.”
This is the meaning behind our commitment to retro revival: to bring those aesthetic memories scattered across time back into people’s lives through each bathroom vanity. When you comb your hair in front of the Retro Series’s arched mirror, or take out your bedtime book from an Acro Series drawer, what you touch is not just the texture of furniture, but a sense of belonging gently wrapped in the warmth of time.
The birth of the Retro and Acro Series is a contemporary interpretation of classical aesthetics. We believe that true retro revival is not about confining history to museums, but about allowing those design elements, refined by the test of time, to continue growing and breathing in modern life. For beauty never goes out of style; it only becomes more warm and appealing as time polishes it — just like these two vanity Series, which will ultimately witness new tales of contemporary elegance in countless mornings and evenings to come.
