Fittings that embody form and function, Dornbracht’s iconic designs spring from a deep knowledge of materials and water
As 2020 and 2021’s lockdowns confine us within our neighbourhoods and homes, it has forced us to look at mundane things in a new light. A tap is not just a tap.
Of course, German brand Dornbracht has known this for over 70 years. A leading specialist in fittings and accessories for bathrooms, kitchens and spas, Dornbracht has made it a practice to elevate everyday sanitary fittings into functional objects of fascination.
Dornbracht products are meditations on precise edges, sinuous lines. A fastidious commitment to form, function and finish explains why Dornbracht’s unapologetically extravagant faucets and spa systems often take on iconic status amongst architects and designers. They are simultaneously futuristic and timeless, often imitated but never equalled.
For Dornbracht, “Made in Germany” is both a designation of origin and a promise of quality, Chairman of the Board of Dornbracht AG, Stefan Gesing explains. Headquartered in Iserlohn, Germany, Dornbracht is one of few companies whose products are entirely German-made. Its suppliers are almost exclusively German, most hailing from regions surrounding Iserlohn, offering the company unprecedented levels of collaboration and control.
