Gessi
Gessi is an Italian manufacturer of design bathroom fittings and wellness systems founded in 1992 in Serravalle Sesia, in Valsesia. The company is known for elevating the bathroom from a purely functional space into an environment of design and personal wellbeing. BeDESIGN carries these bathroom fittings at our Houston showroom, where clients can view the collection in person and request a custom quote for their project.
About Gessi
Gessi was founded in 1992 by Umberto Gessi and his son Gian Luca in Serravalle Sesia. Starting from a small workshop, the company set out to bring a stronger design dimension to a sector then dominated by traditional forms. Early collections such as Griffe and Diverso established the brand’s direction; the Rettangolo series, designed by Prospero Rasulo in 2002, marked a decisive shift toward minimal geometric language and new ways of delivering water.
Over the following decades the company developed the concept of Private Wellness, introducing systems that integrate water, light, sound, and air into coordinated experiences for the home. Production is centered in a large, environmentally conscious facility set within an extensive park in Valsesia.
Today the brand produces faucets, shower systems, accessories, and complete wellness solutions for residential, hospitality, and specialized applications, all manufactured in Italy. Full collection details are available on the manufacturer’s official site.
The designers
Prospero Rasulo has been a key long-term collaborator, responsible for iconic collections including Rettangolo and Goccia. The brand continues to work with designers who support its focus on form, material, and the experiential qualities of water.
What makes Gessi different
The brand approaches water fittings as design objects capable of transforming the bathroom into a sensory and regenerative space. The brand combines precise manufacturing with a clear formal language and an emphasis on the quality of the water experience itself—flow, temperature control, and interaction with light and air.
This philosophy, expressed through the Private Wellness concept, distinguishes the brand from purely technical suppliers and positions its products within a broader lifestyle and hospitality context.
