Cyo from Dornbracht: extravagant contour and sculptural form
The striking basic shape of the circle defines the extravagant contour and sculptural form of Cyo. It defines the spout and handles and thus characterises the design.

With its Cyo
fittings series, the Westphalian fittings manufacturer Dornbracht places the c-shaped
spout at the centre of the design concept. Inspired by a design from the
company's design archive from 1969, Dornbracht wants to span the arc from the
brand's origins to the future - with a design language that seems familiar, yet
is forward-looking.
“No future
without origin” is how Stefan Gesing, CEO of Dornbracht, summarises the Cyo
series: “Cyo stands at the same time for a look back and into the future and
thus fulfils what we define with our new brand claim: ‘Leading Designs for
Architecture’.”
With Cyo,
Dornbracht has reinterpreted the archetypal C-shaped spout, combining form and
function in an expressive way. The striking basic shape of the circle defines
the extravagant contour and sculptural form of Cyo. It defines the spout and
handles and thus characterises the design right down to the water jet, which
follows the shape of the spout
The design
concept is distinguished by extraordinary details. Bi-structural finishes
combine glossy and matt surfaces. They skilfully emphasise the lines and – as a
particularly subtle form of contrast – wants to lend the design additional
sophistication.
Innovative handle concept allows maximum design freedom
The bathroom as a living space - through architecture that adds new functions to the familiar. The bathtub becomes a reclining surface with a special view.
Feel nature, recharge and relax: Coming home. The bathroom dissolves boundaries, bringing the outside in. The opening of the architecture closes the cycle of man and nature.
A wide selection of handle inserts in different surfaces and materials, for example with structures or natural stone, open up a great deal of design freedom. The handle inserts can be combined individually and are easy to replace.
Another
special feature is the innovative handle concept, which is operated by a
rotating outer ring with finely tuned click-stop. Interchangeable handle
inserts in a wide range of finishes and styles that can be combined
individually and are easily replaced, offer numerous options for
individualisation. “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, Managing Director of Sieger Design.
With six
exclusive special surfaces made of precious natural stones and extravagant
structures, and the x-tra service offer that goes beyond this, Dornbrachtis
expanding the possibilities of individual and particularly creative design
concepts with Cyo. The basic shape of the circle defines the complete product
range of washbasin, bath and shower. Combined with the matching accessories, a
harmonious overall picture of the bathroom applications is created. “Cyo is
unmistakable. With its strong personality and self-contained formal language,
it clearly has the potential to become another icon in bathroom culture,” adds
Christian Sieger's brother Michael Sieger, also Managing Director of Sieger
Design.
