DESIGNING WATER, DESIGNING WELLNESS 

With The Private Wellness bathroom becomes a room of style and regeneration in which, going beyond its traditional concept as a functional place lacking of aesthetic importance, one can spend quality time for one’s body and psyche, thanks to the use of new instruments or the reinterpretation of the ones from the past. This is a philosophy according to which the bathroom is transformed into a true private spa. If water, in its various aspects can bring balance and wellbeing, The Private Wellness aims to allow you to exploit the potential of this precious element, dedicating care and attention to the concept of “salus per aquam“, health through water, every day, inside the bathroom.  

Gessi has gained world recognition as the “designer of water”, through its offer of products that supply water in different fashions and mix it with air and light, making this precious element, the object of a totally enjoyable and customizable pleasure.

Born surrounded by the beauty of Italy, Gessi has shaped its project, which would never have been the same if imagined far from Parco Gessi, in the heart of the Valsesia.

It draws inspiration, tradition and culture from the land.  

Gessi has always been integrated into the territory in which it designs and manufactures its creations and its commitment to the territory has resulted in multiple initiatives involving who works and lives near the company.

Vision, solidity, responsibility and sustainability are strong points of the historical path that has allowed the Gessi brand to reach an ongoing growth worldwide.  

Gessi is an international reality that remains unmistakably Italian, with a unique system of fully-integrated production, not only entirely ‘Made in Italy’ but ‘Made in Gessi’, within a large production park where the creativity of design is born, realised and managed according to a solid and sustainable business model. Strongly rooted in its territory, since its establishment Gessi has been committed to respecting it: the factory is surrounded by 800,000 square metres of green space, the Parco Gessi, and is characterised by high-efficiency lighting systems, ventilated cooling systems and ecological heating panels, a total water recycling plant, 4 hectares of photovoltaic panels that produce clean energy for production operations, avoiding any CO2 emissions.   

Gessi has always been integrated in the territory in which it designs and manufactures its creations, today testifies its responsibility through the launch of the “ESG Gessi” project: a renewed commitment towards the Planet and environmental, social and managerial sustainability.

Could you share a fun fact about GESSI?

Developing and building a company in Italy, means finding people with whom to share a certain idea not only of beauty and wellness but also of relaxation and fun. For example, Carnival is part of GESSI territory’s tradition. On the 4th of February, we organized GESSI CARNIVAL PARTY. Employees, managers, and friends dressed up as superheroes, fictional and historical characters to celebrate together which is what makes the Gessi Family great.
