The recent renovation and guestroom refurbishment by Studio Aisslinger for Hotel Seegarten, creates an increased sense of space in the living areas, and bathroom interiors with statement Dornbracht fittings complement the vision. Most of the materials used, such as wood and stone, are untreated. The materials and the choice of products are a clear acknowledgement of the quality to be found in the region with the lighting, furniture and the home accessories all coming exclusively from the Sauerland. Iserlohn-based Dornbracht is practically a neighbour and is represented by fittings and shower solutions from the Meta series, as well as by the Aquamoon wellness shower.

The Seegarten Hotel and Restaurant is a short walk away from the promenade on Germany’s Lake Sorpesee in the Sauerland. With an exclusive location, superb architecture, and famous restaurants, this 4-star accommodation is a haven of well-being for anyone seeking rest and relaxation. Owner and operator Olaf Baumeister took over the traditional house from his parents in 1992. The famous TV chef, who has now been appointed Ambassador of Good Taste for the North Rhine-Westphalia region, has been continually renewing and extending the buildings and interiors ever since.

“I have a passion for superb design, high-quality materials and exceptional surface finishes,” said Baumeister of the collaboration with the manufacturer. “We have found in Dornbracht a partner who more than meets these requirements. I was even more convinced by knowing that the fittings come from Iserlohn.”

The striking monochrome elegance of Meta in black matt makes a statement in the open and functional interior design concept of the new guestroom schemes. All that separates the bathroom area from the rest of the room is a small wall and inclined, light wooden slats. The floor, parts of the wall and the bath surround were covered in distinctive terrazzo natural stone, which is also used for the washstand. Two fittings from the Meta series are mounted behind the white counter-top basins. A concept of maximum reduction, with an almost sculptural appearance makes a confidently stylish statement here. Another Meta is fitted right next to the bath – this time a single-lever wall-mounted mixer. Here too, the monochrome elegance of the black matt fitting contrasts subtly with the warm greys of the natural stone, stabilising its striking pattern and the polished surfaces.
