DESIGNING WATER, DESIGNING WELLBEING

Gessi is a family story, born in 1992 from the genius of its founders Umberto Gessi and his son Gian Luca, who believed in the mission of offering substantial private wellbeing through products resulting from significant technological innovation and with an iconic style.
In recent years, Gian Luca's sons, Nicolò and Emanuele, have joined the large company family, which today numbers over eight hundred employees worldwide.
With The Private Wellness®, the bathroom becomes a room of style and regeneration where, moving beyond its traditional conception as a functional place of no aesthetic importance, you can spend quality time for your body and mind.
It is a philosophy whereby the bathroom becomes a true private spa, where the beauty of the pieces in the Gessi collections expresses all the craftsmanship, culture and identity of a company for which know-how, tradition, innovation and technology are the essential ingredients for achieving the high quality and creativity that distinguish it.
From the most refined interiors of homes and yachts to the world of contract, countless exclusive projects have been completed over thirty years of activity in Italy and abroad.
Gessi operates in over eighty countries with twelve sales branches across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. Over the last ten years, Gessi has begun to “export” its visionary world of design, beauty, lifestyle and wellbeing for the most intimate living spaces.
It has opened its Case Gessi in the world's main capitals, from Milan to Singapore, from London to Dubai, Riyadh and Tokyo, often housed in buildings of great historical and architectural value, where you can experience first-hand, through the five senses, what The Private Wellness Company stands for.
Today Gessi is an international company that remains unmistakably Italian, with a unique, fully integrated production system, not only entirely “Made in Italy” but “Made in Gessi”, within a large production park where design creativity is born, realised and managed according to a solid, sustainable business model.
Deeply rooted in its territory, Gessi has been committed to respecting it since its foundation: the plant is surrounded by 800,000 square metres of greenery, the Gessi Park, and features high-efficiency lighting systems, ventilated cooling systems and eco-friendly heating panels, a total water recycling plant and four hectares of photovoltaic panels producing clean energy for production operations, avoiding any CO2 emissions.
The constant search for new solutions that is in the company's DNA has given impetus to the entire sector and drives it to outdo itself every time, bringing innovative ideas to market.
Gessi's creations allow users to enjoy personal spaces offering a daily experience of Private Wellness, in which a renewed contact with one's inner self is celebrated.
From bathroom collections to shower systems, extending to outdoor and living spaces with the new vases and fragrance diffusers of the HOME DECOR collection, the company's ability to personalise spaces with a coordinated total look is ever more evident.
Focusing on the allure and elegance of objects, as well as their ethical content, Gessi has devoted itself to proposing new living concepts with the widest imaginable assortment of products, in a vast range of styles, models, applications and unexpected elements, allowing unlimited freedom in interior design.
Gessi projects are born from creative freedom and a passion for objects freed from prescribed, codified functions and reinvented for new uses: empathetic, friendly and pleasing objects.
Creations that improve people's lives.
