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.
