Aro is Vallvé's cylinder family, cast here in Graphite resin with a chrome ring, a color that reads almost like slate on a white or marble counter. Vallvé started in a rented São Paulo warehouse in 1962, when Catalan-born Josep Maria Sedó Vallvé began casting resin with metal, wood and acrylic on machines he built himself. His son Pedro Sedó took over in the 1990s, every piece is still made by hand, and Vallvé has won the Top of Mind Casa \u0026amp; Mercado award for bathroom boutiques since 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphite looks rich against white, marble or wood. Each piece is made and finished by hand, so it has a weight and depth that molded plastic can't match. It is part of a full Vallvé collection, so you can build a matching vanity piece by piece. And it comes from a family company that has been making bathroom pieces in Brazil since 1962.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bathroom wastebasket with an open lid. A soft damp cloth with a drop of mild soap, then a dry microfiber cloth, keeps the resin bright. Skip scouring pads, bleach, acetone and solvents, and never put it in the dishwasher. Vallvé doesn't publish care instructions, so this is our advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWorth Every Penny\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed every day for five years, $557 works out to about $0.31 a day (our math), for a hand-finished piece made to be used every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"lm-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVallvé (São Paulo, Brazil)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCollection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eObject\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWastebasket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eColorway\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraphite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSurface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished \/ matte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMade of\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-finished resin with chrome accents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ 15.6 × H 31.8 cm \/ Ø 6⅛ × H 12½ in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHolds\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by Vallvé or the distributor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published by the distributor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCountry of manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrazil (handmade, per Vallvé)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWipe clean by hand (our advice)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVallvé item no.
