A tabletop towel rail for a hand or guest towel from Vallvé's Cranium collection: a clear-resin skull by Pedro Sedó, son of Vallvé's founder, handmade in Brazil.
The Vallvé Cranium towel rack measures 10 × 6 × 16¾ in (25.4 × 15.2 × 42.5 cm) and comes in Clear with a matte finish. Cranium is Vallvé's skull collection, designed by Pedro Sedó and introduced in 2018. Vallvé describes the skull as a symbol of change, renewal and the force of thought, and ultimately of wisdom. This version pairs the resin skull with steel and chrome.

- Anyone who needs dishwasher-safe accessories: resin should be wiped clean by hand (our advice; no care ratings are published).
- Anyone who finds a skull motif too dark for a bathroom: Cranium is deliberately bold.
- Anyone who needs it within a day or two: allow 2–3 business days to ship, plus transit.
Why we carry it
We've been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and Vallvé is the rare bath brand that still makes and finishes resin by hand. The Cranium pieces look like objects rather than accessories, and they are made to be used every day.
The Vallvé story
Vallvé was founded in São Paulo in 1962 by Josep Maria Sedó Vallvé, who came to Brazil from the Priorat region of Catalonia. He built his own machinery and techniques for working resin together with metal, wood and acrylic. Vallvé opened its first showroom, Cristal Banho, in 1978, and in the 1990s his son Pedro Sedó took over and made it the leader in luxury bath accessories in Brazil. Since 2003 it has won the Top of Mind Casa & Mercado award in the bathroom boutique category, and Vallvé says its production is still 100% handmade.
Worth the investment
Used every day for five years, $1,100 comes to about $0.60 a day (our math). You are paying for a hand-finished piece from a company that has worked in resin for more than 60 years, not a molded plastic copy.
Buy once: durability and care
Neither Vallvé nor the distributor publishes care instructions. Resin is durable but can scratch, so wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry it with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach, solvents and nail-polish remover, and keep it out of the dishwasher. Dry metal parts after splashes to avoid water spots (our advice).
