Bespoke: size, colour, finish

Most basin groups repeat the same control twice. The Perle three-hole group does something else: on one side a SemiPearl in Murano Balloton glass, on the other a Pearl in Emperador Dark marble. Hot and cold stop being a mirror image and become two distinct objects — the maker calls it «an unexpected balance between lightness and materiality».

The pairing is not a one-off. The list is built as a combination: glass with glass, glass with stone, stone with stone, either of them with metal, in the Murano workings and in the three natural stones. On the same group you can read a smoky bubble-filled sphere against the depth of dark marble, or two halves of the same material in two different textures.

There is a geometry underneath it, too. On one control the sphere meets a cone; on the other it splits and overlaps into two halves — the same language returns on the two-hole wall-mounted spout.

Send us the layout of the basin and the finish you have in mind: La Mercanti puts the combination together with Gessi and confirms it before anything is ordered.

FAQ

Can the two controls use different materials?
Yes. The three-hole group is listed as a combination: Murano glass with marble, glass with glass, stone with stone, or either of them with metal.
What is the pedestal for?
Every Pearl rests on a sculptural pedestal, available in four versions and fifteen finishes.
What is the Balloton technique?
Layers of glass are superimposed, often in different colours, to produce a three-dimensional pattern on the surface.
What is a SemiPearl?
A half-sphere. It is used on wall-mounted controls and thermostatics, in Murano Battuto, Murano Balloton or metal.
Will two pieces look exactly the same?
No, and the maker says so: small differences in surface, execution, shape and size are declared as evidence of a handmade product.

How to choose the shower terminals in the Perle range

Perle runs two showerheads, a waterfall spout and a recessed body jet. Five steps before the wall is closed.

Count the ways on the thermostatic
Perle lists wall-mounted thermostatics with two, three and four exits: that number caps how many terminals you can run.
Pick the head
One version delivers rainfall, the other rainfall together with an intense jet; both come wall- or ceiling-mounted.
Decide whether the wall gets a spout
The Perle waterfall spout and the built-in adjustable body jet are separate outlets, and each one takes a way.
Keep the handshower on one line
The sliding rail carries the water outlet, the hose and the handshower as a single element.
Have the set confirmed
Send the shower elevation to La Mercanti: we check mixer and terminals against the Gessi list.
