Dornbracht TARA: why one tap defined modern bathroom design

Three decades after its launch, TARA is still specified by architects worldwide. A study in restraint.

Dornbracht TARA: why one tap defined modern bathroom design — designer tapware guide by DesignerTapware.co.za

A cross handle and a perfect arc

Launched in 1992 by Sieger Design, TARA reduced the mixer to a slim column, a cross handle and a precise curve. Nothing has been added since — a rare thing in product design.

Built to outlast the room

Solid brass bodies, German manufacture and ceramic cartridges mean TARA is regularly reused when a bathroom is refurbished rather than replaced.

Finish as material choice

TARA is available in Brushed Durabrass (23kt Gold), Brushed Champagne (22kt Gold), Brushed Dark Brass, Platinum, Matte Black and Chrome. Each changes the personality of the same silhouette entirely.
