Today's technology was unthinkable fifty years ago. But technology alone is not enough. What is needed is a broader vision. La tecnologia di oggi era impensabile cinquant'anni fa. Ma la tecnica da sola non basta, serve una visione piu ampia. Dieser Stand heutiger Technik war vor funfzig Jahren undenkbar. Aber Technik allein reicht nicht, es bedarf einer umfassenderen Sichtweise. Rita Levi Montalcini

E The local surroundings are rich in history, the cradle of the ancient Faliscan civilization, over which Monte Soratte looms in solitary majesty. It is a region that has always fascinated poets, painters and hermits with its countryside that is both harsh and mild at the same time: the deep ravines carved out by running waters, the contrasts between the red tuff and the green of the luxuriant vegetation, the small towns clinging to hilltops have been evoked in verse, painting and spiritual meditations. This earthy magic, a suggestive charm suspended between yellow, ochre and emerald has...

GSI About us 13 E Wherever a river runs, a civilization rises. Water is a giver of life and humans exploit its impetuous energy. Water makes it possible to mould the earth and create new forms. This fusion between solid and liquid is a precious alliance between ancestral continuity and ceaseless change. Blended and dosed with great skill, water and earth coexist harmonically in the forms of manufactures. Here produced for millennia: with earth I Dove un fiume scorre, sorge una civilta. L’acqua vivifica, gli uomini ne sfruttano l’impetuosa energia. L’acqua permette di plasmare la terra, di...

E A successful product is the outcome of a painstaking process that requires knowledge and specific skills; but most of all it is a prized result that can only come about by using top quality materials. That is why GSI selects it materials with the extreme care and only picks those that are best suited to our projects. After the initial digital 3D design, the piece is fine tuned manually: once the ideal model has been obtained, we then proceed to the “mother mould” and then to the actual casting phase which is done using high pressure, state of the art equipment – or in the traditional...

Design and modeling: the birth of the “mother mould” ready for casting, either through pressure or traditionally, to create our sanitary ware.

E The actual form begins to replace the initial concept, the real product substitutes the imagined design. But there is no hurry. It takes around twenty-four hours before the piece reaches its optimal point of dryness after which, still in its raw state, it is entrusted to the skilful hands of our workmen. These finishing touches which are performed manually enhance its quality and ensure that every piece gets the specific attention it needs. Then it is given an initial inspection for functionality. Because at GSI we know that perfection starts at the origins. La forma inizia a prendere il...

Drying and hand finishing for a smooth clean surface.

Ceramics process 3/ E Advanced robots execute a series of movements programmed by an expert and highly trained operator; the result is a meticulous, immaculate glazing. Every part that will come into contact with water is painstakingly glazed to ensure the best possible hygiene and perfect cleanliness. The product’s aesthetic beauty is almost entirely due to its absolute technical perfection. I Robot ad altissima tecnologia vengono programmati in ogni singolo movimento da un operatore esperto e altamente qualificato: il risultato e una smaltatura minuziosa, impeccabile. Tutte le parti che...

E Extraglaze®: GSI has gone beyond standard glazes and today produces sanitary ware that retains its beauty and sheen even longer. Thanks to the application of a special paint, the piece’s surface is even smoother: water won’t leave calcareous residues and cleaning is quicker and more thorough. Extraglaze®: oggi GSI va oltre la normale smaltatura, producendo sanitari che mantengono la loro bellezza e lucentezza ancora più a lungo nel tempo. Grazie alla successiva applicazione di una vernice speciale, la superficie del pezzo risulterà più planare: l’acqua non lascerà residui di calcare e la...

Extraglaze® for durability and sheen that will stand the test of time.

E After more than twenty-four hours of glazing the moment has come for firing. The piece is placed in a tunnel kiln: for at least twenty-four hours it will be subject to three levels of heat reaching a maximum of 1250 °C. Every single piece that comes out of the kiln is checked, inspected and tested: it has to be perfect, the way GSI conceived of it from the very beginning. Anything that does not fully meet our standards is unsparingly discarded. Packaged with care, our best products are ready to be stored or sent out to satisfied customers all over the world. Dopo più di ventiquattro ore...

Firing in the tunnel kiln, testing and packaging: GSI pieces are ready to go out to our customers.
