A unique craftsmanship
The processing is careful, knowledgeable and meticulous. Welds
are in fact made exclusively by hand, because only the human
eye reaches where the machine does not. The uniqueness of the
processing of Officine Gullo can be recognised in the exclusive
technique with which the sinks are made. Unlike industrial
production in which the metal sheet is thinned during the moulding
phase, Officine Gullo sinks are made exclusively with thick sheets.
As for the rectangular sinks, a single metal sheet is folded and then
welded by hand to obtain uniform thickness and a perfect result.
For round sinks, the artisans of the company instead use the “sheet
drawing” technique and certain specially created lathes: a brass or
copper disk is manually placed on the mould from which the sink
is shaped. In both cases, the metal is therefore not thinned during
the processing phases, but retains the same thickness at each
point, thereby ensuring unique durability and resistance. Among
the finishes available, edge hammering is among the richest and is
made entirely by hand.
