Gessi: twenty-eight finishes, one specification headache solved
Ask a specifier what slows a bathroom scheme and the answer is finishes: matching brassware across basins, showers and kitchen in one tone. Gessi answers with a palette of 28 finishes — Chrome to Corten, warm bronzes to Matte Cipria and Glossy Coral, over eleven of them in PVD — each made, the house declares, «through exclusive techniques and artisanal gestures». Behind the palette: the Parco Gessi in Valsesia, a 1,500,000-square-metre green estate reclaimed from a quarry, and ISO 9001 running since 1996. The range spans bathroom, kitchen, private wellness, sensor taps, outdoor and home decor.
La Mercanti coordinates the Gessi finish across the whole scheme — one tone from washroom to kitchen point.
FAQ
Why do 28 finishes matter to a specifier?
Because schemes fail at the joints: with 28 tones spanning bathroom, kitchen, wellness and outdoor, one finish can run through the whole project — no near-miss golds, no mismatched blacks.
How durable are the special finishes?
Over eleven are PVD — vapor-deposited, made for wear — and the quality system behind them has run ISO 9001 since 1996, certified by ICIM and IQNET.
How to run one finish through an entire building
The quiet trick of expensive-looking projects: five steps to tonal discipline.
Pick the tone first
Choose the finish before the fittings: it decides the scheme's temperature.
Map every water point
Washrooms, kitchen points, wellness: list them before ordering anything.
Prefer PVD in traffic
Vapor-deposited finishes take cleaning regimes that kill plating.
Sample in the actual light
Bronzes and matte tones shift with lighting — judge on site.
