Dornbracht, premium manufacturer for fittings and accessories for bathrooms and kitchens, and our agency have been successfully working together for nearly 40 years now. At the start of the 1990s, they established the modern interpretation of the cross handle with Tara. The Vaia series cites it in a new version, with a progressive language of form that is destined to make it an icon as well.

Just like the progressive bathroom fitting Vaia, we created the Vaia Kitchen programme, which brings together classic elegance and contemporary elements of style. It represents the five design principles of Dornbracht – personality, proportion, precision, progressiveness, performance – and is the logical progression in the formal canon of our agency’s years-long partner.

The new kitchen fitting reveals its character in different environments, as a contrast to minimalist design or in harmony with the classically equipped kitchen. It creates a harmonious ambience, especially in open plan kitchen and living rooms that reflect the urban spirit of the metropolis, and effectively combine different stylistic influences.
A wide-ranging product programme is available, covering many areas of application: Vaia as a single-lever mixer, for instance, can have both a pull-down function and a rinsing spray on the side. The American style bridge mixer is available either as a three-hole variant with a pull-down function, or as a two-hole version with a rinsing spray on the side – both come with either a teardrop-shaped lever, or the classic cross-handles. A Bar Tap and a Pot Filler complete the series.

Eleven different finishes, including Dark Chrome as well as the Champagne (22kt Gold) finish in brushed or glossy, add refinement to the design fitting.

With the production facility in Iserlohn, where Dornbracht has always manufactured durable products, the company is committed to Germany as a business location.

Vaia forges the link between traditional and contemporary elements of style, combining tradition and modernity. Especially the harmonious interplay of Metropolitan Eclecticism reflects the urban spirit and effectively combines different stylistic influences. The characteristic features of Vaia include soft radii, a refined silhouette, and flowing transitions.
Its delicate spout takes up the classic shape for elegant fittings, and transposes this to a new, open design for the kitchen. The delicate lines and open silhouette of its progressive design language create a balance between the familiar and the new. The basic attitude that marks all the Dornbracht design series has undergone its logical further development with Vaia.

We believe in creating products that redefine spaces through a blend of innovation, timeless design, and unmatched functionality. The Vaia Kitchen series for Dornbracht is a testament to this philosophy, pushing the boundaries of kitchen aesthetics and functionality to new heights.
