Luxury Italian bathroom specialist Gessi showcased several new lines including its nature-inspired Equilibrio taps and industrial Inciso collection at a special cocktail party held at long-time partner colourliving’s expansive showroom in Wanchai. Gian Luca Gessi, son of brand founder Umberto Gessi and the company’s President, was on hand for the special occasion.
Already renowned in Europe for transforming bathrooms into emotive personal spaces, Gessi’s luxury products were first introduced to Hong Kong in 1992 thanks to colourliving’s efforts.
“Colourliving has been a fantastic partner for Gessi for over 20 years,” shared Ilker Mat, Gessi’s Commercial Director, “Colourliving matches our philosophy 100% in terms of design, products and the storytelling approach, which is essential to selling a luxury product.”
The fruits of this partnership were clearly demonstrated as the city’s elite flocked to the special cocktail party introducing the Equilibrio and Inciso collections. Guests were treated to music performances, speeches and live demonstrations throughout the night.
The unique rock formations which inspired the Equilibrio taps were a big hit with attendees. “Equilibrio was born in the wild,” explained Gian Luca Gessi, “the inspiration came from the best designer in the world – Mother Nature.”
Gessi also debuted its new Inciso line at the party. Crafted in partnership with American designer David Rockwell, the Inciso (Italian for engraving) collection merges industrial-era materials with artistic engravings for a truly contemporary finish.
