The inspiring principle behind the Gessi Collections is the power of naturally empathic pri­mary shapes that, in an original and iconic style, convey essential and evocative graphic symbols and transform everyday objects into small household sculptures. Combining vanguard technology and typical Italian craftsmanship, Gessi creates designs that achieve manufacturing excellence and reliability in an original integrated ecological mo­del of Made in Gessi.

The company is a family story, born from the genius of founders Umberto Gessi and his son Gian Luca, who provides unprecedented technological innovation, iconic design, as well as solid principles of welfare and ecological respect.  All of which have enabled Gessi to beco­me a marvellous success story in the international design scene, generating growing intere­st from internationally renowned designers and architects around the world.

THE EMOTION OF PRIVATE WELLNESS – wellness through a daily rite

Gessi’s mission is to give a sensation of wellness every day, rebalancing the body through the power of water, and bringing serenity to the mind through the beauty of design.

Gessi believes that innovating means fulfilling dreams and anticipating needs. Gessi pro­ducts are conceived with the people who will use them in mind, with the aspiration that the design, with its ability to instill art into consumer products, will enrich the living space, making the daily experience special and unique.

Through its products, Gessi brings harmony to both the kitchen and the bathroom, which is certainly the most private space of the home and where we dedicate our precious time to finding our balance. It’s an evolution of the concept of wellbeing, with the firm belief that in order to be well, it must be a daily experience, and not reserved for just a few sporadic moments in life.

“Gessi is the beauty of a daily gesture of wellbeing.”
