Gessi | Kitchen

Gessi is a global, Italian manufacturing company that pioneered the concept of luxury bathroom furnishings, putting an enchanting new spin on lifestyle behind closed doors. Founded in 1992 by Umberto Gessi, the Company began as a small workshop with the goal of challenging the industry’s status quo dominated by historic names.

Armed with a clear vision of change and innovation, Gessi quickly developed into one of the most sophisticated and vertically integrated manufacturing companies in its product category worldwide with a brand that has become synonymous with superior design and technology. Gessi has received numerous awards for its works of art over the years and recently emerged victorious in the German Brands Award and Good Design Award. Despite Gessi’s global reach, their products are still manufactured locally, making it a unique craftsmanship imbued with the Italian heart and its heritage.

Made with Love”.

Art For Chefs

Gessi experiments with new styles for designs that bring life to the private space of instruments that are either professional or inspired by other environments. Thanks to these instruments, the kitchen becomes a laboratory rich in technology and design.

Mesh

With a decisive contemporary cut and slender shape, the stainless-steel braided hose of Mesh makes an unprecedented and playfully eccentric kitchen tap. It is a plucky expression of creative, refined design and unmistakable style.

Officine

The Officine collection has its roots in the popular trend of the “INDUSTRIAL” style that has been influencing the interior design of private and commercial architectures in the recent years. With its aesthetics, characterized by shapes, surfaces and materials that are typical of “production” spaces with their edgy look, this decorative code has an extreme versatility that allows its interpretation in ways that are always new and personal.

Proton

The minimalistic style and attention to every detail that has made Gessi acclaimed on a world level, sends a message of its distinct design and essential style. Proton renovates once again the brand’s unique identity and its ability to transform the most creative space into an inviting and comfortable place, for a daily life seasoned with quality, style and pleasure.

Roca | Bathroom

Roca began life in 1917, originally as a manufacturer of cast iron radiators at its factory in Gavà, near Barcelona. From these humble origins, the company has grown into a global business driven by a firm focus on improving the quality of life for its customers. Roca first started producing vitreous china in 1936 and faucets in 1954 and continued to innovate with new designs, products and materials to ultimately provide the complete bathroom solution.

Its constant investment in design and product manufacturing, its entrepreneurial spirit and independence as a family-owned business, sets Roca apart and clearly demonstrates why the company has earned the recognition of being a referenced company in the bathroom space globally. The company now has over 22,600 employees, manufactures at 78 state-of-the-art facilities around the world and is active in over 170 markets.

Bathroom

Inspira

With the new Inspira collection the bathroom you wish for exists regardless of your personality and sense of style. The vitreous china and furniture collection, with 3 design lines –round, soft (with soft angles) and square, which can be perfectly combined, will bring a sense of finesse to bathroom spaces.

In Inspira, everything has been analyzed down to a tee. Basins with fine walls and white ceramic wastes deeply ingrained into the porcelain so that they go unnoticed, quick release seats and back to wall toilets for better cleaning, column units with internal lighting and a full body mirror, among many other details that make Inspira a classic collection.

Meridian

A gorgeous modern take on curves and soft edges, Meridian exudes simplicity and versatility that fits perfectly with any bathroom regardless of size or concept.

Meridian’s compact sink and cabinet solutions allow you to manage bathroom spaces while offering a multitude of combinations and designs for one to design their dream bathroom.

Atlas

This faucet collection, which stands out for its elegance and versatility, includes flow limiters as well as the Cold Start technology that guarantees better water and energy savings.

In Roca´s new generation of Cold Start faucets, the front opening is exclusively reserved to cold water; the handle needs to be turned to the left to obtain hot water gradually. It is then and only then that the boiler is switched on. This avoids something as common as the unintentional operation of the boiler making it a formula to save energy and ensure that there is no unnecessary emission of CO2 into the atmosphere.

American Standard | Bathroom

For nearly 140 years, American Standard has led the way in developing innovative bath and kitchen products that have set and re-set the standards for living healthy, living responsibly, and living beautifully.

Before American Standard, there was the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company that was founded in 1875, a product of a merger with several other small plumbing manufacturers. They pioneered many of the plumbing product improvements introduced in the early part of this century including the one-piece toilet, built-in tubs, combination faucets (which mix hot and cold water to deliver tempered water) and tarnish-proof, corrosion-proof chrome finishes for brass fittings. Not long after, it headed on to become the world’s largest producer of bathroom fixtures. It is a proud legacy that has made American Standard one of the most trusted brands in the industry.

Bathroom

Acacia E.

Inspired by form and simplicity, Acacia Evolution’s design exhibits soft, thin edges. It is also technologically equipped with a powerful flushing system, anti-bacterial touch-points. In addition to that, Acacia Evolution incorporates proguard; a revolutionary technology which is applied to the ceramics to inhibit the build-up of water stains, making cleaning a breeze.

Their Eco Handle outdoes the conventional mixer by releasing cold water upon lifting the lever which saves up to 30% of energy and only releases hot water when turned to the left. Their revolutionary click technology gives you better water volume control, by providing resistance midway when lifting the lever.

IDS

American Standard unveils three gorgeous collections under its IDS line, each unique in its form, for an unforgettable bathroom experience. IDS Clear is a product of when streamlined beauty meets functionality. A wide shelf and wash area makes for maximum enjoyment and easy cleaning. For those that have a taste for straight edged sophistication, IDS Dynamic is a reflection of pure minimalism in contemporary architecture, powerful lines and definitive proportions that evoke strength, charisma and rationality. Shaped like a pebble, the smooth, organic form of IDS Natural illustrates progressive architectural design with a touch of refined elegance.

Easy Set

Through integrated ergonomic designs and smart engineering, a comfortable and relaxing shower is now an everyday experience with just a convenient push and turn of a button.

Customize your perfect shower by simply pre-setting your preferred temperature and volume of water and enjoy the same shower experience each time, with EasySET. That means no more sudden scalding hot spurts or freezing cold shocks mid-shower to ruin your shower experience, making it great for families with young kids as well.

Geberit

The company’s humble beginnings took place in 1874 when founder, Caspar Melchior Geberit was granted work as a plumber. He also started to manufacture parts and designed the first wood-made cistern for toilets, called the Phoenix that was lead-coated and came with accessories (particularly a flush mechanism). A design born of such material was considered to be revolutionary and a great success.

During the next years, the company expanded through Switzerland and some foreign markets, incorporating new products (pipes, taps and valves). In the 30s, the company was one of the first to introduce plastic-made parts in the sanitary industry. Today, the globally operating Geberit Group is a European leader in the field of sanitary products. Geberit operates with a strong local presence in most European countries, providing unique solutions for sanitary technology and bathroom ceramics.

Actuator Plates

When you’re selecting the finishes for your bathroom design, it’s the little things that make all the difference. From the floor and wall coverings to the plumbing fixtures, everything has to be just right.

Fortunately, Geberit understands the importance of minute details. That’s why they offer you a wide range of flush plate options for use with their in-wall toilet and urinal systems. Geberit dual-flush plates feature a visual cue so that everyone approaching the system knows instantly how to operate it: press the small button to flush liquids and the large button to flush solids. It’s intuitive, but it also happens to save thousands of gallons of water every year.

Concealed Cisterns

Geberit concealed cisterns are the classics of modern bathroom installations and have been installed more than 70 million times over around the world for more than 55 years.

They are known for their time-honoured reliability. Every cistern is leak-tested before it is delivered. The 25-year guaranteed spare parts availability provides long-term security. The flush volume of the Geberit concealed cistern can be limited to 4.5 litres making it exemplary in terms of water consumption.

Kaldewei

A hundred years ago, KALDEWEI discovered that enamelled stainless steel was the perfect material for bathroom objects. They gathered experience, refined their techniques and revolutionised manufacturing, producing their first freestanding bathtub in 1934 and the first seamless bathtub made from a single sheet of steel in 1957. The unique quality of Kaldewei’s bathroom objects continues to benefit from this developmental head start right up to the present day.

Bathtubs

An impressive selection of shapes and sizes with many added extras lets you create the bathtub of your dreams.

Their accessories are one of a kind, characterized by their faceted wall plates, the range takes the flat planes and intriguing angles of the brassware collection in highly polished chrome and marries them with frosted lead crystal beakers and soap dishes for that million dollar look.

Atrio

The circle as a shape has always been intriguing to the human mind, its element a clear representation of nature. In the eyes of Mathematicians and Philosophers, it is considered the most quintessential geometric shape. Atrio’s design stems from that very nature, its spout curved in the perfect arc of a semi-circle, while its body is cylindrical running the same diameter from base to top.

Crafted with care and hand-assembled, Atrio meets the highest standards of engineering and performance that GROHE is famous for. The Atrio collection means design without restrictions. Each item is available in various finishes and size options to meet the demands of one’s personal taste without overshadowing different design schemes.

Bathroom

Artis

The new Artis washbasins introduce a fresh look with its sleek profile thanks to a new material called TitanCeram that comes in various shapes and shades that are customizable for a bicolour look.

There are five neutral colours available for those that desire a cool, compelling effect that would blend in with almost any type of interior. The other 12 harmonious colours are inspired by the kaleidoscope of seasonal colours in Paris that was developed alongside the skilled designer Gesa Hansen.

What better base for your design than inspiration that comes straight from the world’s fashion capital? The basins come in four different shapes: round, oval, square and rectangular providing users with various options to choose from.

Finion

Finion transforms your ordinary bath experience into a place that one can rest and rejuvenate after a long hard day. Extremely thin edge profiling combined with extraordinary stability emphasizes the refined character of Finion washbasins that can be paired with their bathroom furniture. The Finion mirror is one of a kind with its illuminated LED border that can do more than simply look good: on request, it can be supplied with a clever anti-fogging function as well as an integrated premium sound system for even greater pleasure.

Mobile phones are practically an extension of ourselves and its uses are infinite. However, its battery lifespan isn’t. With the Finion wireless charging station built into a shelf, simply place your smartphone on the side cabinet or in the shelf unit to automatically charge the battery, giving you ample time to unwind whilst staying connected. Designer, Patrick Frey, transformed the freestanding Quaryl® bath into a spectacular piece by adding a golden touch, with a strip of filigree encircling the side walls.

Octagon

Octagon is a masterpiece of precision and craftsmanship, incorporating all the possibilities of TitanCeram, a completely new kind of ceramic material that is of high-quality and is unusually strong, enabling impressively delicate and unique forms. The representation of Octagon truly suits its nature, as it is shaped like a diamond, a substance that is beautifully structured with its many facets yet incredibly sturdy despite its look.

This exquisite design comes with leather, wood or stone veneer to complete the base of the pedestal, with just a hint of copper encircling it, exuding an aura of magnificence. Having this gem as the centerpiece of the bathroom will give your space the Midas effect.

Gessi | Bathroom

“Made in Gessi,
Made with Love”.

“Made in Gessi, Made with Love”.

Private Wellness

Hi-Fi

HI-FI is a novelty of Gessi, and the new frontier of the Private Wellness Program. The precision controls have been designed to recreate all the tactile sensations of period stereo sets, giving off 80s groove vibes.

The clicking of the function selector buttons, the ticking of the knobs, the millimeter precision of the controls, much similar to that of an 80s stereo system, all allow to set and maintain the preferred regulation of flow and temperature whilst embodying the old school feeling of that era.

Rilievo

The circle within a square concept has been an age old debate between mathematicians and philosophers alike for its near impossibility to be defined or constructed, giving birth to the phrase ‘square the circle’ which refers to an individual attempting a very difficult or impossible task.

A circle inscribed into a square is the theme that RILIEVO by HBA, an international architectural studio enlisted by Gessi, brilliantly brings to life. The design is seen to be taken up both in plan and in profile, on all perspectives of this product, making this a masterpiece that defies the odds.

Afilo

Gessi the Private Wellness Company supports a new vision of bathrooms, which goes beyond the outmoded function of a merely practical place.

AFILO’s rainshower design brings about a totally new shower experience with chromotherapy lighting set up to enhance one’s mood and calm the nerves, atomization emitting the sensation of a hot spring bath, designed to wash away the stress from one’s daily routine. A waterfall cascading down your shoulders accompanied by gentle rainfall brings a person back to the very essence of nature without having to leave their lush abode.
