Jacqueline
Iconic timeless beauty
- THE MEANING
A place of beauty, creativity, and boundless well-being
Jacqueline is a Haute Culture creation, a place without limits, where culture and experimentation merge into a single essence, becoming the focus of a continuous exploration of boundless worlds, giving rise to exclusive creations.
PHILOSOPHYThe value of uniqueness
The Jacqueline collection is the first and only to be created in real bamboo. One of the foremost values of Haute Culture is its inherent uniqueness: just like a tailored outfit, every Gessi collection stands out for its unmistakeable originality. Similarly, as the creation of a haute couture garment involves meticulous steps, each mixer in the Jacqueline collection undergoes a comparable handmade process, making them unique and incompatible with mass production.
- SELECTION AND CLEANING
The origin of form
The first stage of bamboo selection requires time, care and a trained eye, as the quality of each piece directly defines the character of the final product. Each slat is chosen for its aesthetic qualities and proportions, then carefully cleaned and prepared for further processing. Hollow bamboo roots are selected one by one, according to diameter and node spacing, to ensure a natural and harmonious integration into the creation of mixers and furnishing elements.
DRILLINGThe way of water
At the origin of everything lies an invisible gesture: perforation. A process that requires precision and sensitivity, defining, before any other detail, the quality of every Jacqueline.
VAPORIZATIONMatter, reimagined
Using a technique similar to that employed in wood craftsmanship, bamboo is treated with steam to become malleable, allowing Gessi artisans to transform it into a true creation of excellence.
CURVATUREPrecision is human
The bending, or shaping, phase is an essential part of the artisanal process which, together with the selection of individual bamboo elements, reveals the deeply handcrafted nature of Jacqueline’s production. A step that reflects a vision in which the authenticity of both material and gesture becomes central. In Jacqueline, standardisation gives way to care and attention for each individual piece. Every element is unique, shaped with precision and sensitivity, following an approach that values personalisation and restores meaning to time and craftsmanship.
FLAMINGThe mark of fire
The flaming process marks the bamboo with deep variations, darkening it at the nodes and making each spout one of a kind. A precise intervention that reveals the material and enhances its character, transforming every element into a unique piece.
- SPOUT
Signs of natural beauty
The spout expresses meticulous attention to detail through a refined graphic gesture. Inspired by the articulation of bamboo, it takes shape in a fluid, sculptural profile, poised between strength and lightness.
METALThe glow of the metal
For the creation of Jacqueline, bamboo harmoniously blends with the unique and modular craftsmanship of metal, the result of Gessi’s master artisans. This combination gives rise to iconic forms, such as metal bases of the mixers, showcasing both innovation and artisanal excellence. The meeting of bamboo, tailoring-inspired materials, and the disciplined character of metal defines the essence of Gessi’s Haute Culture. A bold synergy, driven by continuous research that pushes beyond boundaries.
LEVERSA touch of couture
The water control levers, inspired in their shapes by the clasps of bags and fashion accessories, complete Jacqueline with an essential and refined design. Available in metal with leather-effect details or in a horn-effect version, they add a distinctive and personal touch to every creation. Discreet in their presence, the controls complement the bamboo without interfering with its natural expressiveness, allowing its authentic character to emerge.
FINISHESEsplorando nuove profondità
From polished and brushed Warm Bronze to Matte Black, the twelve refined metal finishes enhance Jacqueline’s innovative concept, creat-ing a perfect balance with the various shades of bamboo. In black, Jacqueline discovers a new dimension. The natural mark of bamboo gains depth, transforming into an almost graphic presence, essential and contemporary. The living texture of the material meets the rigor of black, defining the space with a presence that is both intense and silent. A choice that asserts character without declaring it, finding its most complete expression in restraint.
- WASHBASINS
Distinctive accents
The Jacqueline washbasins are enhanced by a refined metallic band, matched to the chosen finish, which adds a distinctive and sophisticated accent to the design. The experience is further enriched by the tactile interior, offering a sensation of comfort.
ACCESSORIESAn identity that extends
The language of Jacqueline extends to the accessories with the same formal consistency of the collection. Each element contributes to a precise and recognizable Total Look, a vision perceived in its entirety even before its details.
STORAGE TRAYA continuous design language
The elegant bamboo-style details are also featured in accessories, such as the storage tray, with its refined simplicity that enhances the charm of the collection.
HANDLESElegance to touch, design to enjoy
The distinctive bamboo details of Jacqueline extend to the door handles as well, completing the space with a coherent and refined aesthetic. The material and sensory dialogue continues in the Horn-effect version, enhanced by a metal-finish loop.
SHOWER HANDLESThe value of every gesture
The handles embody the very soul of the col-lection, bringing an unmistakable material language to every everyday gesture.
