Overview
Modern Bathroom was founded by President and CEO Martin Symes on May 20, 2004. The company began manufacturing contemporary bathroom remodeling products and accessories, and opened its first retail showroom in early 1995. According to the Better Business Bureau, the company is connected to the corporation Vida Lifestyle, Inc.
Currently the company operates a warehouse and a showroom in North Hollywood (Los Angeles) at 7040 Lankershim Blvd. There is also a showroom in Fountain Valley, Orange County at 18225 Euclid St. The Los Angeles showroom is the largest bathroom vanity showroom in the state of California. In 2006 Modern Bathroom also began operating an online store for customers unable to visit the showrooms.
Products
Most of the original product distribution consisted of the Modern Bathroom brand, but the company later began also stocking products from brands such as Kohler, Grohe, Danze, Toto, MTI, Fairmont Designs, and the Wyndham Collection. It is also a major retail partner with Cole & Co and the Rothdale and Fellino vanity series. The company also stocks items made from sustainable materials.
