Gessi Venti20 Wall-Mounted Shower System: The Pinnacle of Integrated Design
A Specialized Three-Component Masterpiece
The Gessi Venti20 Wall-Mounted Shower Mixer is a rare configuration that brings architectural order to the shower space. While most setups require separate valves and hooks, this integrated system houses the primary flow control, a high-precision two-way diverter, and the handshower bracket in one cohesive horizontal or vertical layout.
The central diverter is the “brain” of the system, allowing you to switch effortlessly between the tactile anti-limestone handshower and a secondary outlet—most commonly a ceiling-mounted Venti20 rain shower head.
Exclusive New Finishes: Deep Bronze & Coffee Bronze
In addition to the classic Gessi palette, this system is now available in two brand-new, high-tech PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finishes that lean into the “Industrial Art Deco” trend:
-
Deep Bronze Brushed PVD (791): A rich, soulful tone that offers more depth than standard bronze, perfect for moody, natural stone interiors.
-
Coffee Bronze Brushed PVD (761): A sophisticated, warmer metallic with brown undertones that pairs beautifully with walnut cabinetry and brass accents.
These finishes are not merely aesthetic; the PVD process ensures the surface is harder than steel, making it resistant to the scratches and chemical fading often seen in standard electroplated tapware.
Artistry by Lázaro Rosa-Violán
As part of the wider Venti20 collection, this shower group features the signature fluting and “gear-like” detailing inspired by the 1920s. Spanish designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán intended these pieces to be “functional sculptures,” ensuring that even the most technical part of your bathroom feels like a curated piece of jewelry.
What does the middle dial on the Gessi 65036 shower mixer do? The middle dial is a two-way diverter. It allows the user to toggle water flow between the attached handshower and a secondary water feature, such as a fixed overhead rain shower or a bath filler spout.
Are the new Deep Bronze and Coffee Bronze finishes durable? Yes. Both Deep Bronze (791) and Coffee Bronze (761) are applied using PVD technology, which creates an ultra-durable, hypoallergenic, and scratch-resistant surface that maintains its color even in high-humidity environments.
Can I see the Venti20 shower set in Sydney? This specialized Gessi configuration can be viewed at the Sydney Tap & Bathroomware showroom in Mascot, where you can experience the fluted tactile details and see the new bronze finishes in person.
For a specialized setup like the Gessi Venti20 Wall-Mounted System, providing technical clarity is a major “trust signal” for high-end buyers and their installers.
Below is a draft for a Technical Requirements & Installation Guide section. This is designed to reduce “purchase friction” by answering the technical questions a plumber or architect will inevitably ask.
Technical Guide: Planning Your Venti20 Shower Installation
To achieve the seamless, minimalist look of the Venti20 wall-mounted system, precise “behind-the-wall” planning is required. This setup consists of two essential components that must be ordered together.
1. The Internal Component: Gessi Built-in Part (54139)
The “brain” of your shower is the universal recessed part.
-
Early Rough-In: This must be installed by your licensed plumber during the “rough-in” stage, before tiling or stone slabs are applied.
-
Watertight Integrity: Designed with Gessi’s proprietary sealing technology to ensure zero leakage behind luxury wall finishes.
-
Standard Connections: Features 1/2″ inlets, compatible with standard Australian plumbing high-pressure systems.
2. The External Set: Venti20 Trim with Diverter & Handshower (65036)
This is the visible “jewelry” of the shower that is installed after tiling.
-
Dual-Outlet Control: The central 2-way diverter allows you to switch between the integrated handshower and a secondary outlet (e.g., a ceiling rain shower).
-
Orientation Flexibility: This unit can be installed horizontally for a wide, architectural look or vertically for a slim, space-saving profile.
-
Anti-Limescale Technology: The included handshower features easy-clean silicone nozzles to prevent mineral buildup, essential for maintaining flow in Sydney’s hard water areas.
