Getting to Know Gessi

Gessi, the Italian firm that has been creating and manufacturing exclusive bathroom fittings for more than 20 years,  has adopted sustainability as the cornerstone of its design and production system. It is an integral part of the values​​, the culture, the creativity, the technology and the entrepreneurship of the company, and is fundamental to all of its planning, production and control decisions.

Their products are not just “Made in Italy,” they are “Made in Gessi.”

The entire production process is carried out in an integral fashion within the Gessi Industrial Park itself, including the design, engineering and manufacturing of the products and their components (even the plastic parts), as well as all of the graphic art and videography.

Gessi is succeeding at reducing its ecological and social footprint upon the Earth through the environmental and social performance of its products, both during production and during the lifetime if their use though advanced solutions for water and energy saving.

Primary Shapes

“Gessi’s mission is to create products with an enduring style that can be truly appreciated every day for years to come. To help achieve this, Gessi has evolved its own refined design language, based on elementary primary shapes, such as the rectangle and the oval.”

Larry Allen, CEO, managing director of Gessi USA has observed an increasing interest in simple, yet sophisticated high-quality bathroom environments.

Rettangolo and Ovale, two Gessi classics, along with Goccia which was inspired by a water droplet; all contain the same essential shapes, clean forms and harmonic proportions sought after by today’s homeowner.

I seriously love the ceiling mounted towel bar with the ceiling mounted towel bar in the dark finish! I’ve only shown examples from three collections. Gessi has so many exquisite luxury bath fixtures I suggest you check out their website.

Gessi was a BlogTour London 2013 Sponsor but the views and opinions expressed on this blog are mine, and I will be honest in what I share. Unlike BlogTour LA that went to the Westedge Design Fair , Gessi  was not exhibiting in London so I did  not get to see their beautiful products in person. I hear the Platinum covered vessel sink was amazing.

New Triflow Concepts Faucet Design

Triflow by HadidTriflow Concepts commissioned pre-eminent architect, Zaha Hadid, to explore the capabilities of brassware technology in designing the tap of the future.

Hadid employs the latest in 3-D software to create a touch-sensitive faucet with a unique body that bends and twists like liquid mercury.

The triflow faucet has two spouts, one for filtered water and the other for unfiltered hot and cold water. A green halo light comes on when the touch filtration button is activated.  The light turns red when the filter cartridge needs replacing.

The cost of the filter cartridges is unknown but the Designer Triflow Faucet is $7,000. Finish choices for the faucet are gold, nickel, chrome and pewter.
