James Martin Chicago Collection

Chicago Collection

Chicago is the collection James Martin sells most of, and the reason is flexibility. The same cabinet can be stood on legs or hung on the wall, and the hardware is chosen rather than fixed, so one design covers a modern bathroom with black fittings and a warmer one with champagne brass. Clean lines, generous drawers, nothing decorative.

Three cabinet finishes: Glossy White for a bright room, Walnut Whisper for warmth, and Smokey Celadon, a muted green grey that reads as neutral until you put it next to a true grey. Hardware and legs come in brushed nickel, champagne brass and matte black, sold as a set so the knobs and the legs match.

Freestanding or floating

Hung, Chicago gives you the floating look and lets you choose the counter height, but the waste needs to come through the wall. Stood, it installs like any conventional vanity. That decision can wait until the plumber is in the room, which is why this collection appears in dual mount vanities.

Sizes and pieces

Vanities at 30, 36, 48, 60 and 72 inches, cabinets without tops for custom stone, and hardware sets sold separately so an existing Chicago cabinet can be changed from nickel to black without replacing anything else. Countertops are quartz with porcelain sinks, and wireless charging is available in the surface on selected models.

Other collections that install either way are Chianti, Laurent and Milan.
