Private & Public Balance: the latest trends in bathroom design by the GESSI company

The past year has dramatically changed the lifestyle of most people around the world. Self-isolation has made homes the main centers of our life, work and entertainment. In such a situation, the question of personal space sounds particularly acute. And the bathroom took on this special role.

Bathroom function has changed a lot recently. Thanks to the modern technical developments it looks more like home spa. Designers put a lot of effort into making the bathroom interior more ingenious and personal. In this context, it is compelling to look at GESSI latest products which ALTER EGO Project Group team often use in their projects.

Two new collections are getting attention by addressing the eternal gender question – what are the modern man and woman? GESSI suggests the idea of Private Wellness - dividing bathrooms into male and female, so that everyone has their own private space and can express their taste preferences.

The Anello collection is addressed to women and Ingranaggio to men. Within each collection there are enough variations in shapes and finishes to reveal the personal character as accurately as possible. Every woman and man will find there a suitable concept for themselves. For the first time in history, GESSI removes the unisex label from sanitary ware and elevates it to the rank of jewelry, fashion and perfume. The Anello and Ingranaggio collections are the first practical reflection of a new concept that fundamentally changes the common vision of the bathroom. By the way, within the framework of these collections, another fashionable trend was created - a combination of matte and glossy finishes within one line of accessories.

The Architectural Wellness collection allows you to look at the bathroom space as a home spa. It has a stylish design and is based on a modular system with which you can create a personal complex including lighting, audio speakers, chromo and aromatherapy, different modes of the shower system (waterfall, rainstorm, cloud). This grants much more freedom in bathroom design. GESSI designers see it as a single space without excess walls and borders. “Flexibility, ease of installation, versatility” are the qualities inherent in the Architectural Wellness collection. It embodies the atmosphere of a tangible quality of life, the sensitive experience, the search of lost balance, the return to oneself and the reconciliation of body and spirit.

Among GESSI innovative solutions the designers of ALTER EGO Project Group highly appreciated the shower system with atomizer function. While taking a shower and applying soap, oil or scrub, people are not comfortable turning the water off completely, and it usually runs in vain. Specifically for such moments, GESSI’s shower systems have an atomizing mode of water supply, forming a warm shrouding mist, a cloud of the smallest drops. It helps to enjoy the procedures and significantly save a valuable water resource.
