Sophisticated Steel: modern stainless steel kitchens with Tara Ultra from Dornbracht
Iserlohn, 3 April 2024
For a long period of time, stainless steel kitchens were mostly seen in commercial spaces and catering. These days, they are more likely to be found in the residential sector. They are a design statement that combines functionality, homeliness, and elegance, especially in conjunction with warm tones and expressive materials. The classic Dornbracht Tara Ultra fitting impresses here as the perfect addition.
Function-oriented and design-conscious
No matter whether polished, brushed, or patinated: in the right setting, stainless steel creates a clean, inviting atmosphere. The smooth finishes have a mild, mirroring effect that reflects light and colours, skilfully incorporating their surroundings. The material is ideal for mixing and matching, especially in the kitchen. Combining the cool steel with tiles or wood, for example, creates some surprising contrasts. Natural stone such as onyx or marble, sets a stylish tone, as do individual brass elements. Ultimately, rounded corners make the industrial look seem soft and welcoming. A further advantage is that stainless steel is hygienic, easy to clean, and robust.
A harmonious ensemble with Tara Ultra
Tara Ultra is perfect for kitchen architectures like these. The fitting combines the design of a modern icon with professional functionality, and thus becomes a harmonious component in a variety of stainless steel ensembles. Typical features of the series are the striking, right-angled lever, and a tall, slender spout.
Tara Ultra is available in many different versions – from the single-lever mixer to the professional fitting, to the new two-hole variant. Altogether, there are eleven finishes to choose from for this Dornbracht classic. Most recently, these also include Durabrass (23kt Gold), Champagne (22kt Gold) and Brushed Chrome.
