Dornbracht, the fittings manufacturer, has celebrated in the year 2000 its 50th anniversary. This area focuses on the past, present and future. It describes the personal, technical and artistic qualities of a company which has always looked forward. The invention of Dornbracht's extensible spout in 1950 laid the foundations for the company's success. Luxury fittings subsequently took the international market by storm. The introduction of high-class design to the bathroom shaped a whole new market segment. Today and in the years to come, the goal is to open new areas and set the bathroom free from its architectural limitations. The following texts concentrate on the quality not only of the products, but also in the minds at Dornbracht, thinking and developing, communicating and dealing with art and culture. Work at Dornbracht thrives on this consciousness. Just as it will in the future.
