The flowing yet puristic design of MEM from Dornbracht is reminiscent of the most natural and original form of water presentation: spring. The fitting takes a deliberate step back, and by doing so, is fully taken up by the individual ambience of the architecture. The series stands for clarity, reduction, and balance, and thanks to the extensive enhancement, it now offers an even greater variety of design options.
Dornbracht provides several new variants for the washing area: The washbasin fitting is now also available as a single-lever basin mixer and a three-hole mixer with a flat spout. Joining the wall-mounted fittings line-up, are a single-lever mixer, a three-hole mixer, and a monobloc single-lever mixer. The latter is a totally new product type. All five of the new products have one thing in common – they are perfect for small bathrooms and have an aesthetic impact there. Another impressive new highlight is the slender, freestanding single-lever bath mixer which can be positioned anywhere in the room, as the main attraction.
MEM is impressive, not just for this great product variety, but also for its wide choice of surface finishes. From now on, the series, which was created by Sieger Design, will also be available in Dark Chrome, Champagne (22kt Gold) and Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold). While the Dark Chrome represents subtle elegance, the warm golden hue of the two Champagne finishes sets a refined tone.
New textured handles complete the series enhancements. These are produced by the so-called hammering technique, a traditional and skilled manual working method that creates decorative surface finishes. The indentations and projections formed by hammering reflect instant light, creating glossy and matt areas. This gives the handle a unique texture that is pleasant to touch. Its complex nature stands in fascinating contrast to the strict form of the MEM handle geometry. This elaborate manufacturing process makes every handle unique.
Both the new products and the MEM variants that have been available in the market for 20 years, prove to be unobtrusive and visible at the same time. A spout with a 180-degree bend, an invisibly integrated jet regulator and minimalist handles, the series embodies a basic aesthetic appeal that intentionally avoids any extrovert elements. Conceived according to the Dornbracht design principles – proportion, precision, progressiveness, performance, and personality – MEM conforms directly to the Dornbracht claim of creating “Leading Designs for Architecture”.

Innovative strength, precision down to the smallest detail, personality and the courage to break new ground – these have been Dornbracht’s hallmarks since 1950. At that time, Aloys F. Dornbracht founded a fittings factory in Iserlohn, Germany, and caused a sensation with the invention of a pull-out spout – a genuine world first. In 1969, Dornbracht then presented its first luxury fitting; the Edition 2000.
Today, we are active in more than 125 countries and are famous worldwide for our design and architectural expertise. Our claim “Leading Designs for Architecture” underlines our leadership aspirations. Leading in the sense of “acting responsibly” means, above all, creating sustainably lasting value and developing products that will endure.
Together with our partner Sieger Design, we continuously sound out trends and tendencies in architecture and interior design. Collaboration with interior designers is therefore the core of our work, because only in direct exchange do we understand the needs of the market. It is always a pleasure for us to inspire them with our bathroom architectures. At the same time, the exchange of experiences also enriches our work immensely.
With Dornbracht Pro Services, we provide the support expected from a premium partner – from personal advice and planning support to the provision of all necessary product and planning data to customized spare parts offers on a project basis.
As a place of well-being, the bathroom plays a central role in every house and flat. The effect of water – whether at the washstand or in the shower – makes a significant contribution to our ability to relax and unwind from everyday life there.
In the kitchen – the place where people come together – the fitting has a more functional role. But it is decisive in whether we find the cooking experience enriching.
Dornbracht manufactures high-quality designer fittings and accessories for the bathroom, spa and kitchen. Proportion, precision, progressiveness, performance and personality – these are the five design principles that distinguish each of our products. Combined with uncompromising quality, they ensure the longevity and stylistic confidence of the fittings – for many years to come. Furthermore, our curated range of finishes offers numerous design options.
The individualisation trend reflects the central principle of the current age: Self-determination and self-realisation, uniqueness and personal freedom of choice are becoming the driving force more than ever. This can also be transferred to the interior sector. Whether with a high-quality mix of materials or coloured elements – our customers expect the greatest possible choice to design their bathroom and kitchen according to their own ideas. We meet this demand with a wide range of products and our x-tra service, which realises special designs.
