organic C-spout of dornbracht CYO bathroom series traces flow of water

dornbracht’s new CYO series of bathroom fittings respond to the strengthened desire for refined private, intimate and highly personal refuges in our living spaces. dornbracht, the german specialist for bathroom, kitchen and spa fittings and accessories, has been a pioneer in these fields for seventy years. recently, not only hygiene has become more important, but also personal well-being and the separation of private and professional life at home. the new product is the brand’s first under the ‘leading designs for architecture’ concept, which aims to create lasting value in these sanctuary spaces with enduring iconic design.

‘with CYO, we have deliberately drawn on a design from our archives and thus on dornbracht’s design DNA, consistently transforming it into the present. CYO tangibly embodies our attitude through the highest-quality materials, manufacture and craftsmanship, as such the new design series stands for looking back while at the same time looking forward,’ says stefan gesing, dornbracht’s CEO.

the product’s C-spout characterizes the design right down to the water jet, which follows the shape of spout

with an extravagant, sculptural contour and its striking circular shape, the dornbracht CYO series is unmistakable. it defines the spout and handle and thus characterizes the design right down to the water jet, which follows the shape of the spout. created by long-standing partner sieger design, CYO was inspired by the sophisticated dornbracht series 2000 dating back to 1969, which carried a sense of revival and a new opulence. the latest design transforms an archetypal language of form into the future.

‘design always deals with the needs of people in their respective times. today, we appreciate the familiar and the tried and tested, but with a new contemporary perfection and quality,’ adds michael sieger of sieger design.

interchangeable inlays can be added to the click-stop handles for refined personalization

the design’s bi-structural glossy and matt finishes elegantly emphasize its C-spout sculpture. at its base, innovative handle knobs control the faucet with a rotating outer ring with finely tuned louvres for a click-stop function. this accentuates the high precision and quality of craft to deliver a haptic experience to the user. inlays give architects scope for added personalization with an interchangeable choice of six special exclusive surfaces and materials, some of which made of precious natural stones.

‘with the installation of the handles, their different finishes and inlays, we can offer a platform for the wishes, ideas and fancies of architects, interior designers and customers that is all but limitless,’ says christian sieger of sieger design.

mike meiré’s oasis bathroom visualizes a highly personal space that immerses the user in nature

to accentuate the design of the CYO series and its aim to create a more personal bathroom experience, designer mike meiré of consulting agency meiré und meiré imagines CYO bathroom architecture to enliven the trend for more authenticity. his design’s two new and completely different bathroom creations reflect the changes of social values and the dissolving of boundaries between private and work life. the architecture reveals the luscious oasis and the sky-high metropolitan spaces.

‘the desire for the natural, for authenticity, is growing; for materiality and tactility as a counterpoint to our increasingly digital environment. in architecture, the need for more free space is expressed through more flexibility – a shift from closed spaces to open, adaptable zones,’ explains mike meiré of consulting agency meiré und meiré.

the multiple fittings of the dornbracht CYO series sit at the heart of the bathroom design

oasis has been designed as a place of retreat where the shape of the circle is consistently used as an architectural form. occupants connect with nature and the outside becomes an integral part of the inside space. the CYO series of fittings are the central focal point in this refuge-like room.

the metropolitan bathroom creates a private refuge at sky-high levels

the metropolitan bathroom is based on the concept of creating a balance to the shimmering outside world. it deliberately plays with strong contrasts in the materials, textures and colors to emphasize the beauty of CYO. the space functions as a mental and physical source of strength to the user as they gaze upon panoramic views of the city from sky-high levels. it reflects a place for personal development; a home in a metropolis with the dornbracht CYO series.
