Less is indeed more when it comes to products that are capable of making a powerful statement without being over done. The "Less" collection of bathroom vanities from Italian maker Rifra used the designed by subtraction concept and eliminated all the extras. Here we see handle and hardware free cases with inset tops simply floating as an extension from the wall. The Less series is modular and sectional and features generous storage space, vibrant wood grains and lacquer fronts highlighted by sinks pressed in cold glass with silver and gold leaf surrounded by glass or Wilsonart counter tops. Rifra has kept with the less theme by creatively integrating mirrors and lighting together to make the perfect compliment to the ultimate in modern bathroom vanities.
