Another fancy term which is baffling me. The caption reads:

Miroir rétro-éclairé, table en marbre de synthèse, meuble plumier tiroir

accessory drawer unit


Explanation:
Plumier = pencil box or case, by extension pen tray or drawer (as you might find in a office desk). In practice such elements are used for any number of small accessories thus accessory drawer makes more sense in English. Unit is the simplest choice for meuble (which can be an item of furniture, fixture, fitting etc.).

From the picture the entire wall-mounted vanity unit has one continuous drawer (which can only have a limited internal depth to allow for the wash basin plumbing.
