20th April 2026 | IN KBB DESIGN | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn The beauty of contradiction Coya is a symbol of a new attitude: its design embraces the openness to contrasts and unconventional design approaches and makes the fitting a mediator between geometries. Perfectly fitting, then, that it is the first product to be launched under Dornbracht’s new brand claim “Inspiring your vision”. From the spout to the rosettes to the handles, every detail reflects this special design language. Softly moulded handles are an immediate invitation to touch. “For us, it was about the beauty that lies in contradiction,” explains designer Michael Sieger. “Coya is neither round nor angular and therefore defies clear categorisation. At first glance, it seems surprising, almost counter-intuitive. Only to appear incredibly coherent at the same time.” Coya in Chrome Coya in Brushed Dark Bronze Connecting opposing worlds The complex combination of circle and square, characterised by soft transitions – the socalled squircle – is entirely committed to the transitional style: a mixture of traditional and contemporary elements that balances the tried and tested with the new. Existing boundaries are set in motion here, becoming fluid and redefined. “Thanks to its hybrid form, Coya unites very different worlds,” says Caroline Schmitt, General Management Dornbracht. “It is therefore perfect for individually designed rooms that do not follow a single, consistent style, but many at the same time,” she concludes. Coya in Champagne (22kt Gold) Coya in Champagne (22kt Gold) Stringent product concept The introduction of Coya goes hand in hand with an overall concept for all areas of application, including in a comprehensive range of finishes. Dornbracht’s intensive finishes show up particularly well on the flat shape – whether Chrome, Champagne (22kt Gold), or Brushed Bronze. A product range that extends from the washbasin to the bath, shower, and accessories also ensures that Coya’s unique design is reflected throughout the bathroom. Numerous customisation options that can be implemented via Dornbracht Atelier, such as interchangeable handle inlays, complete the range – and demonstrate the impressive versatility of the fitting.
