GESSI: The Essence of Haute Culture

Known for reimagining the bathroom as the ultimate sanctuary, Gessi elevates this once-functional space into a realm of personal luxury and sensory experience. Each piece is an invitation to pause and indulge, celebrating the Italian artistry that underpins every Gessi creation.

Gessi’s meticulous attention to material, detail, and innovation has earned it a reputation as an icon of Italian excellence. Challenging the boundaries of design, the prestigious Italian brand turns materials and forms into something transformative. With creations that feel as exquisite as they look, Gessi aims to enhance the quality of everyday life by transforming time spent in the bathroom into something deeply personal and luxurious. 

THE ANELLO COLLECTION by Gessi
A jewel for the bathroom, celebrating the perfection and purity of the circle. The Anello collection–meaning the ring–transforms the symbolic ring into an elegant sculpture, harmonizing design, art, and fashion. With customizable details and a sophisticated interplay of solids and voids, Anello offers a variety of water delivery options, each piece meticulously crafted and thoughtfully coordinated, with finishes that amplify its refined design.

With a philosophy rooted in “design to live, wear, and breathe,” Gessi offers an experience that speaks to all senses, crafting spaces where self-care and beauty converge, where the simplest gestures gain new significance, and where the individual is invited to connect deeply with a space crafted to enrich both body and mind. Here, the bath becomes an artful refuge—a place where every element is intentionally crafted to enrich everyday rituals, creating spaces where you reconnect with yourself in quiet luxury.

Gessi’s commitment to “Haute Culture” in wellness design means every product merges aesthetic elegance with advanced technology, allowing even the smallest details to shine. The bathroom becomes more than a functional space; it is a living sanctuary, a showcase of Italian craftsmanship and innovation.

Through its unique creations, Gessi redefines the bathroom as an environment where wellness isn’t just an aspect of design—it’s a lifestyle to be embraced in every detail. With a range of products unmatched in variety, styles, and installation options, each piece is an expression of Gessi’s philosophy: to create spaces that feel as good as they look, and that celebrate the beauty of everyday rituals.

Project: FLOWING HEIGHTS by Studio LIV

In this apartment within Rotterdam’s Zalmhaventoren building, designer Linda Verlou, founder of Studio LIV, selected the Gessi Anello collection in antique brass. Each piece in the collection is crafted as a work of jewelry, with lines that embody both purity and stylistic innovation. Like a wedding ring, these elements symbolize a physical and emotional connection, elevating the space with elegance and meaning.

Gessi elevates faucet design with artful textures and patterns,
giving the steel a “woven” appearance. Distinctive handles,
refined reed valves, contemporary finishes, and an innovative
modular sink system offer limitless possibilities for customization.
