"Travel Vanity"
As featured in Vogue Magazine

This Travel Vanity harkens back to a more glamorous age of travel, evoking the days when people's journeys involved steamer trunks and personnel, across the ocean on the Queen Mary or out of New York on the 20th Century Limited. The vanity is designed to combine the pleasures of the older style of travel with today's modern requirements.

There are two elements comprising the vanity: the first is the 'home base' or stationary piece which has a full set of drawers, a pull-out tray and mirror, and another pull-out tray that can hold a small vase or candles. The top drawer of the stationary piece contains the individual's preferred cosmetics, custom designed to hold them.

The second element of the vanity is the portable beauty case, integrated into the overall design. Again, there is a fully customized interior. Not only will it hold an individual's particular cosmetics in traveling sizes, but other travel 'necessities' such as Champagne flutes, caviar, spoon, and corkscrew, among others.
