Dominus: Heritage in Design & Symphony

While the Symphony range presents itself primarily as modern‑organic and trend‑colour focused, a deeper look shows how it can tap into South Africa’s rich heritage in design through reinterpretation and context. Be inspired with Domline.

Materiality & Local Craftsmanship
Dominus is a proudly South African brand, manufacturing locally in Somerset West. This roots Symphony in local craft traditions. Skilled metalwork, finishing, and manufacturing know‑how passed through generations. Even though Symphony’s styling leans modern, the fact of local production reinforces a heritage value: the piece of craft, the touch of human skill.
Organic Forms & Natural Inspiration
The Symphony range is described as “perfect for the modern organic‑inspired bathroom.” This phrasing suggests curves, gentle lines, textures and tones that echo nature. Historically, many African and South African crafts draw from natural shapes roundness, flow, irregular geometry and warm tones. Symphony channels those naturally derived aesthetics in a contemporary spirit.
Colour Customisation as Cultural Expression
One of the great features of the Symphony range is it’s customizable colour options. Colour is one of the strongest conveyors of tradition. In many South African communities, bold, vibrant colour combinations, or specific tones (earth, ochre, vibrant contrast of fabrics etc.), are markers of identity. By giving you the choice of colour, Symphony lets people re-insert their own heritage. Whether it is to compliment the tonality of a Ndebele pattern, warm earth tones of Karoo landscapes or muted tones of Cape vernacular, we have a colour suited to you.
Reimagining Functionality with Style
Symphony offers a full suite of functional accessories from towel rails, robe hooks, soap racks to glass shelves. The modern reinterpretation lies in clean lines, subtle proportions and choices in finish. By giving these items design attention, the everyday becomes a canvas for heritage: style meeting utility, where elements of craft tradition sharpen their presence.
Heritage Reimagined
Symphony offers subtle elegance, contemporary minimalism and organic warmth. That kind of heritage design is powerful because it is not nostalgic or outdated, but forward‑looking, embedding heritage in sensibility rather than in exact replication.
