A brief history of the vanity
The term “coiffeuse” (vanity) appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, though the piece of furniture has existed since antiquity. Composed of a tabletop, one or more mirrors, and numerous drawers, the vanity is a piece of storage furniture, but above all a place for grooming, where one applies makeup, perfume, and styles their hair. While originally intended for both men and women, it quickly became the embodiment of feminine mystery. Indeed, vanities could be equipped with secret compartments to hold intimate correspondence. Today, the vanity is back in the spotlight and works beautifully in any interior style!
