As early as the 7th century B.C., the fan was recognised as a symbol of prestige and elegance in China. Across eras and cultures, it became a symbol of sophistication in European courts, evolving into an icon with timeless appeal. Gessi reinterprets its essence through a contemporary design language, translating its movement into a design gesture. The shapes open progressively and overlap naturally, creating a sophisticated interplay of light and reflections that enhances every detail.

In collaboration with Filipino architect and interior decorator Michael Vincent UY, Gessi brings Ventaglio to life, a collection characterised by refined silhouettes that evoke the timeless charm of the Oriental tradition. As in all its design projects, the MVUY studio, founded in Milan, combines history and contemporaneity, exquisite details and spatial harmony, hints of the Orient and the design savoir-faire of the West.

The tapered lever, gradually opening spout and conical base come together in a balance of squared lines and soft curves. Every detail of Ventaglio expresses a refined harmony of shapes and proportions. An expression of Gessi savoir-faire, the mixers stand out for their harmonious silhouettes and sophisticated geometries, in a dialogue between contemporary elegance and Oriental influences.

An elegant, slender silhouette expresses all the lightness of Ventaglio. An essential design that enhances the purity of shapes, where every element finds its expression in the balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Simplicity and elegance come together in a shower space designed to offer an authentic experience of well-being. The harmonious shapes of Ventaglio extend to every element, creating a refined total look that transforms everyday gestures into rituals of self-care.

Inspired by Zen aesthetics, the accessories invite silence and tranquillity, helping to create an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. In the shower, the copper reflections of the brushed copper finish punctuate the space with understated elegance, while essential lines interact with the architecture, enhancing its harmony.
