SELECTION AND CLEANING LA SELEZIONE E LA PULITURA The origin of form L’origine della forma 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. La prima fase di selezione del bambù richiede tempo, cura e uno sguardo esperto, perché la qualità di ogni elemento definisce il carattere del prodotto finito. Ogni stecca viene scelta per le sue qualità estetiche e proporzioni,...

The WAY OF WATER La via d’acqua 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. All’origine di tutto, un gesto invisibile: la foratura. Un processo che richiede precisione e sensibilità, e che definisce, prima di ogni altro dettaglio, la qualità di ogni Jacqueline.

Matter, reimagined La materia si trasforma 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. Con una tecnica simile a quella impiegata nella lavorazione del legno, il bambù viene sottoposto al vapore per diventare malleabile, consentendo agli artigiani Gessi di trasformarlo in una vera e propria creazione d’eccellenza.

Precision is human La precisione del gesto 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....

The mark of fire La traccia del fuoco 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. La fiammatura segna il bambù con variazioni profonde, scurendolo in corrispondenza dei nodi e rendendo ogni erogatore irripetibile. Un intervento puntuale che rivela la materia e ne accentua il carattere, trasformando ogni elemento in un pezzo unico.
