Premium manufacturer Dornbracht enhances the kitchen assortment: From now, the Lot series of fittings created by Sieger Design will be available as a single-lever mixer, and in new finishes. The fitting blends perfectly into the “Layers of Black” kitchen architecture.
Striking and variable: Lot by Dornbracht Precise architectonic expression, combined with striking, minimalist aesthetics: Lot features a flat, one-piece spout that makes the fitting seem almost sculptural. The new single-lever mixer – also offered with a rinsing spray on the side – adds another variant to the series. Lot is also available, amongst others, as a two-hole fitting and as a Bar Tap. The warm tone of the new Champagne (22kt Gold) and Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold) finishes is captivating, whereas the Dark Chrome finish exudes an impressive, mystical elegance. Chrome, Brushed Platinum, Platinum, Brushed Durabrass (23kt Gold), and Brushed Dark Platinum complete the range of finishes.
“Layers of Black”: a kitchen architecture for purists The “Layers of Black” kitchen architecture shows how the Lot single-lever mixer combines harmoniously with its surroundings. The design is intended for purists and perfectionists: graceful, back to basics, without any unnecessary decorative elements. Dark stained wooden surfaces shape the minimalist ambience, with high-quality materials such as glass and natural stone. Timeless black – combined in different nuances and textures – seemingly commanding and stylistically assured, yet also radiating mystical depth. The fitting by Dornbracht in Brushed Dark Platinum or in Platinum belongs naturally in this structure.

Elegant yet progressive: Dornbracht’s VAIA brings together traditional and contemporary style elements to create a balanced design, presenting innovative ways to combine the past and present.
From now, the fittings’ series created by Sieger Design is available in new variants and finishes.
The new products include a single-hole mixer with two handles for the washstand. This is also available in a freestanding version, so that the fitting can be placed anywhere in the room.
Also included are products with a smaller projection. The classic single-lever mixer with cold water valves for either wall or deck-mounted installation, and the three-hole fitting with a flat spout, are ideal for guest bathrooms.
The aesthetic cross-handles with their defined radii now act as a connecting element for the entire bathroom. In the shower, for example, they are a striking design highlight. VAIA’s tulip-shaped rosettes are also rediscovered at the new bathroom towel rail.
Furthermore, the choice of finishes are expanded with the addition of Dark Chrome, Champagne (22kt Gold) and Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold). The warm golden tones are especially harmonious when combined with natural materials and colours.
The captivating feature of Dark Chrome, on the other hand, demonstrates an understated elegance.
VAIA’s balanced design language fits into a variety of contemporary interiors, into traditional and modern minimalist bathroom architectures, as well as those that bring together elements from differently styled worlds.
It is fully committed to the Transitional Style, an interior design trend in which past and present are innovatively intertwined. The familiar boundaries are shifting where the bathroom becomes an area of creative tension between tradition and modernity.
VAIA’s open and progressive design underlines this approach. Playing with contrasts, the design series skilfully combines geometric and organic contours to make a graceful and balanced whole.
Modern minimalism at its most pure: A radical reworking of Dornbracht’s Meta.02 kitchen fitting has produced the new Meta Square. A consistent reduction in form underlines the elegance and versatility of the classic design. The series is complemented by new finishes and additional variants.
“The design refinements give Meta Square an essentially more delicate and therefore contemporary appearance. We have minimised the diameter of the body of the fitting, without having to use a rosette. The additional height of the fitting, the lack of a groove in the lower part of the lever and the integrated flow reducer in the spout, make Meta Square seem sleeker and more noticeably minimalist. At the same time, the right-angled bend of the spout underlines the clarity and succinctness of the fitting, as in the previous generation. A culture of fine differences,” says Michael Sieger from Sieger Design, who is the designer responsible for the refinements.
From now on, Meta Square can also be obtained in three new finishes: Champagne (22kt Gold), Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold), and Dark Chrome. While the latter lends an unobtrusive elegance to the kitchen fitting, the sensuous and warm gold colour of the first two, has a persuasive appeal. In addition to this, the classic design is now also available in a pull-down version or as a Bar Tap, for preliminary activities.
By interacting with various colours and materials, Meta Square consciously creates different ambiences. It is the ideal component for contemporary concepts to turn the kitchen into the focal point of the home, perfect for expressing an individual lifestyle. “Cosmopolitan fusion” architecture is one such inspiring example. It combines contrasting elements into something totally new: Eye-catching Pink and expressive Dark Green make a stylistically assured combination. An experimental liaison, it is complemented by coloured glass and ceramic accessories, as well as soft rosé textile elements.
Meta Square demonstrates versatility and variability in this world: The Matte Black fitting blends in subtly, harmonising stylishly with the identically coloured Dornbracht sinks, and the expressive terrazzo pattern of the natural stone backdrop. The exciting contrast created by the Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold) finish, on the other hand, accentuates the kitchen design with exceptional elegance.

About Dornbracht UK & Ireland
Based in Iserlohn, Dornbracht is the leading specialist supplier of superior designer fittings and accessories for bathroom, spa and kitchen. The company was founded in 1950 and is represented by a portfolio of products on more than 125 markets worldwide. With clearly-defined design principles for a lasting product design and a consistent focus on user needs, Dornbracht has transformed the bathroom and kitchen into living spaces – and in so doing, continues to set new standards. The premium manufacturer is famous worldwide for its design and architectural expertise and quality of manufacture at the highest level and underlines its leadership aspirations with the brand claim “Leading Designs for Architecture”.
The flowing yet puristic design of MEM from Dornbracht is reminiscent of the most natural and original form of water presentation: spring. The fitting takes a deliberate step back, and by doing so, is fully taken up by the individual ambience of the architecture. The series stands for clarity, reduction, and balance, and thanks to the extensive enhancement, it now offers an even greater variety of design options.
Dornbracht provides several new variants for the washing area: The washbasin fitting is now also available as a single-lever basin mixer and a three-hole mixer with a flat spout. Joining the wall-mounted fittings line-up, are a single-lever mixer, a three-hole mixer, and a monobloc single-lever mixer. The latter is a totally new product type. All five of the new products have one thing in common – they are perfect for small bathrooms and have an aesthetic impact there. Another impressive new highlight is the slender, freestanding single-lever bath mixer which can be positioned anywhere in the room, as the main attraction.
MEM is impressive, not just for this great product variety, but also for its wide choice of surface finishes. From now on, the series, which was created by Sieger Design, will also be available in Dark Chrome, Champagne (22kt Gold) and Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold). While the Dark Chrome represents subtle elegance, the warm golden hue of the two Champagne finishes sets a refined tone.
New textured handles complete the series enhancements. These are produced by the so-called hammering technique, a traditional and skilled manual working method that creates decorative surface finishes. The indentations and projections formed by hammering reflect instant light, creating glossy and matt areas. This gives the handle a unique texture that is pleasant to touch. Its complex nature stands in fascinating contrast to the strict form of the MEM handle geometry. This elaborate manufacturing process makes every handle unique.
Both the new products and the MEM variants that have been available in the market for 20 years, prove to be unobtrusive and visible at the same time. A spout with a 180-degree bend, an invisibly integrated jet regulator and minimalist handles, the series embodies a basic aesthetic appeal that intentionally avoids any extrovert elements. Conceived according to the Dornbracht design principles – proportion, precision, progressiveness, performance, and personality – MEM conforms directly to the Dornbracht claim of creating “Leading Designs for Architecture”.

Innovative strength, precision down to the smallest detail, personality and the courage to break new ground – these have been Dornbracht’s hallmarks since 1950. At that time, Aloys F. Dornbracht founded a fittings factory in Iserlohn, Germany, and caused a sensation with the invention of a pull-out spout – a genuine world first. In 1969, Dornbracht then presented its first luxury fitting; the Edition 2000.
Today, we are active in more than 125 countries and are famous worldwide for our design and architectural expertise. Our claim “Leading Designs for Architecture” underlines our leadership aspirations. Leading in the sense of “acting responsibly” means, above all, creating sustainably lasting value and developing products that will endure.
Together with our partner Sieger Design, we continuously sound out trends and tendencies in architecture and interior design. Collaboration with interior designers is therefore the core of our work, because only in direct exchange do we understand the needs of the market. It is always a pleasure for us to inspire them with our bathroom architectures. At the same time, the exchange of experiences also enriches our work immensely.
With Dornbracht Pro Services, we provide the support expected from a premium partner – from personal advice and planning support to the provision of all necessary product and planning data to customized spare parts offers on a project basis.
As a place of well-being, the bathroom plays a central role in every house and flat. The effect of water – whether at the washstand or in the shower – makes a significant contribution to our ability to relax and unwind from everyday life there.
In the kitchen – the place where people come together – the fitting has a more functional role. But it is decisive in whether we find the cooking experience enriching.
Dornbracht manufactures high-quality designer fittings and accessories for the bathroom, spa and kitchen. Proportion, precision, progressiveness, performance and personality – these are the five design principles that distinguish each of our products. Combined with uncompromising quality, they ensure the longevity and stylistic confidence of the fittings – for many years to come. Furthermore, our curated range of finishes offers numerous design options.
The individualisation trend reflects the central principle of the current age: Self-determination and self-realisation, uniqueness and personal freedom of choice are becoming the driving force more than ever. This can also be transferred to the interior sector. Whether with a high-quality mix of materials or coloured elements – our customers expect the greatest possible choice to design their bathroom and kitchen according to their own ideas. We meet this demand with a wide range of products and our x-tra service, which realises special designs.
