Collection: Sieger Design

Sieger Design is an architecture and design office founded in 1964 by German architect Dieter Sieger. Born in Münster in 1938, Sieger obtained his degree from the Werkkunstschule in Dortmund. Since 2003, his sons Christian (1965) and Michael (1968) have managed the office. The former is now the director of Sieger Design Consulting. The latter - creative director - studied Industrial Design at the University of Essen and Product Design at FH Münster. Today, the Sieger Design team consists of more than forty multidisciplinary professionals - designers, art directors, communication scientists and economists working side by side to develop holistic solutions and business strategies. Since the early ‘80s, Sieger has built an international reputation in bathroom design, working with such companies as Alape, Dornbracht, Duravit and Hoesch.

Dieter Sieger, architect, designer, shipbuilder, artist and collector, came up with the idea of developing complete bathroom designs after his long experience as a yacht designer allowed him to work with small spaces without sacrificing aesthetics. In 1982, he designed the LavarSet washbasin for Alape, presented the following year at ISH, the international trade fair. Influenced by nautical design, the sink integrates basin, towel rail, mirror and shelf in one curved element. This item gave rise to a series of sanitary products that have since become icons of postmodernism. Recently, Sieger Design created the Steel19 collection for Alape, reinterpreting the classic bucket sink with an enamelled splashback and washbasin combined with a filigree steel structure.

Collaboration with Duravit began in 1987 with the Giamo series, which includes perfectly matched sanitary ceramics and furnishings. Giamo was followed by Dellarco, Lavillette and Darling. The latest Duravit/Sieger Design projects include the 2nd floor designer washbasins, the Darling New washbasin series, the X-Large bathroom furniture and the complete Happy D.2 bathroom. Sieger has developed such iconic taps for Dornbracht as Meta, considered the archetype of the single-lever mixer. This 1995 success continued to evolve into the current three versions. In addition to the classic Meta, they include Meta slim with a more slender lever and Meta pure, which replaces the lever with a rotary control. CYO is among the office’s most recent projects -a series of bathroom taps that plays with the basic shape of the circle, reflected in the handles.
