Dornbracht has unveiled its collaboration on Art du Temps, a new boutique in the Swiss watchmaking city of Biel-Bienne that reimagines luxury retail design. Situated in a listed historic building and designed by Gebert Architectes Architekten SA, the space harmonises natural materials like clay, lime plaster, straw marquetry, and dark wood to evoke timeless elegance.

At the heart of the boutique stands a striking free-floating brass-clad staircase. The bathroom features a bespoke Dornbracht Atelier fitting: a slender spout in Brushed Durabrass (23kt Gold) that appears to float from the wooden ceiling, pouring water into a crystal bowl. Its VAIA design handle integrates seamlessly into the mirror, transforming the fixture into a sculptural statement.
This project exemplifies how unique visions can be realised through personalised, one-of-a-kind design solutions, starting with a single piece.
