Dornbracht launches new editions of Tara tap fitting and showcases latest concept bathroom
Luxury kitchen and bathroom fittings brand, Dornbracht, releases updates to its signature Tara range including three new finishes and two new handles
Tara, which will be thirty years old this year, signifies Dornbracht’s lasting influence on fittings design, with sleek, timeless modernity. Inspired by the Bauhaus school, its clean, precise lines, characteristic cross-handles and slender, semi-circular spout evoke an understated luxury suited to both urban and traditional bathroom architectures.
Having been reinvented with a variety of refinements and upgrades since 1992, the series is now available in three new finishes: in warm Dark Chrome, as well as in gloss or brushed variants of the luxurious (22 ct) light gold Champagne finish.
A new lever edition is another special feature, now offered for all washstand fittings. Tara’s perfectly balanced proportions remain, guided by the ideal of the “golden ratio”, while the 180° curve of the spout harmonises majestically with the control handle. The fitting is especially user-friendly as a single-lever mixer, and includes new matt black painted handles and tactile, textured handles in all Tara finishes.
Finally, also new to the range is an impressive free-standing single-hole basin mixer, or three-hole mixer with flat spout, which brings a contemporary, sculptural quality to any bathroom setting.
Dornbracht has translated Tara’s evolution of minimalist design into a bathroom concept that demonstrates the future of the modern, style-defining bathroom space. This prioritises basic, geometric shapes and a reduction to the essentials to maximise space.
