CYO LINE CREATES BATHROOM HARMONY

We

may all spend more time than ever in our homes, but it can be easy to forget that the space is more than just a living room, kitchen, and bedroom. Design should also offer a space to unwind and remove oneself from the enclosed cycle of repetition.

German faucet and fixturemanufacturer Dornbracht reconsidered the bathroom. Oft overlooked, the humble plumbing hub can blossominto an escapisthome spa when outfitted beautifully. To do so,Dornbracht looked to their ownpastand their beautiful mid-century modern pieces.

CYO, based on aprevious line from the 1960’s and refreshed for today’stastes,immediately suggeststhe perfection of acircle, with no sharp edges and no unnecessarydesign elements.In doing so,Dornbracht offers arelaxing starting

point for abath, shower, or even the semi-obsessive hand washing regimen that we’veall developed in the lastyearand ahalf.

To further demonstrate that the home bathroom can -and should -bethought of as aplace to relax and reset, Dornbracht created twocasestudies for their fixtures: Metropolitan and Oasis.

The Metropolitan, setinapenthouse highrise, belies its street address by being more “centered” than “centerofitall,”while still creating aconnection to the unique cultural

ethos of acity.Metropolitan reminds youthat youcan getawayfromitall and rechargeyour batteries without needing to flee civilization - the thoughtfullydesigned space offers the same experience. The curvilinear theme is drawn together by the beautiful forms of the CYO fixtures,creating harmony.

If Metropolitan reminds humanity it can escape from itself for amoment, Oasis serves as acall back to our morenatural connections. Instantlynoticeable with its paneled, indoor/ outdoor glass wall leading to avista patio,Oasis is abathroomofwarm morning breezes and cool nights,with the CYOfixtures springing from the surfaceslikeseedlings.
