Classic Luxury: Iconic Designs

Drawing inspiration from nature, fashion and iconic female figures, GESSI has created Jacqueline – a curated collection of haute culture home finishes.

“Just as in the history of fashion, female figures of extreme class have become icons to the point of naming clothes and accessories, which encapsulate in their name alone all the characteristics that distinguish them, in the same way, GESSI wants to enhance its own path toward the highest tailoring by creating an innovative and unprecedented collection, a true jewel of the highest quality,” explains the company.

“Through its personality, Jacqueline encapsulates the essence of style and lifestyle, in a timeless concept that exalts to the highest levels the ‘savoir-faire’ that characterizes GESSI’s culture, innovation and personality in the almost sartorial workmanship applied to the furniture/design sector. The object itself, therefore, is the fulcrum that encapsulates all the cultural values of GESSI, and becomes, within the most intimate living environment, the very expression of the person who lives in that space, an element of that same personality.”

Taking design inspiration from water and its infinite forms, as well as the shape of fastenings of handbags and fashion accessories, GESSI has decided to use iconic bamboo material for the collection of curvaceous water dispensing levers that are available in metal with leather-effect details or in a material that simulates horn with contrasting metal details.

“The shoots are selected one by one, by diameter and pitch between the knots, in order to adapt them with the utmost naturalness to the creation of mixers and furnishing accessories that make the bathroom and one’s wellness space an oasis of well-being and harmony,” explains GESSI of the handcrafted pieces that are each carefully created, drawing upon all the know-how the company and its artisans have gathered over its 30-year existence.

The bamboo is then matched with a limited selection of ten finishes (polished and brushed nickel, polished and brushed black metal, polished and brushed brass, polished and brushed warm bronze, dark bronze and brushed copper, as well as the brand-new Total Black colour in combination with the deep black metal finish).

The haute couture collection consists of a low basin mixer with a spout in two heights and two— or three-hole floor, ceiling and wall-mounted mixers.

Locally, Gessi is available through Classic Luxury.
