Duravit Launches Manhattan Faucet Series

11 May 2026 CW Team

Duravit has introduced its Manhattan faucet series, bringing a cube-inspired design language to contemporary bathroom spaces with a focus on urban aesthetics, functionality and water efficiency.

The German bathroom solutions brand said the collection features clean lines, precision edges and reflective surfaces created through advanced manufacturing processes. The range includes faucets for sinks, bidets, bathtubs and showers, offering a uniform design language across bathroom interiors.

The sink faucet range is available in S, M, and XL sizes, along with concealed-installation variants. Finish options include chrome and matte black to suit different bathroom styles and layouts.

The Manhattan series also integrates water and energy-saving technologies. Duravit’s MinusFlow feature reduces water consumption by limiting flow rates to below 3.5 litres per minute, while the FreshStart function allows only cold water to flow when the handle is in the central position, reducing unnecessary hot water usage.

Additional features include AirPlus technology, which enriches water flow with air for a softer stream, and EasyClean functionality for simplified maintenance.

Duravit said the collection is supported by a five-year warranty and a 15-year spare parts availability commitment.
