techniques from Asia and beyond. -

Our mission is to create innovative and uniquely
beautiful surfaces and home pieces. Orvi’s surfaces
are suited for all parts of the building envelope; both
for interior and exterior applications. Orvi’s home
pieces get conceptualized from the tender nuances
of everyday life, starting with natural materials and
unique forms.

We are enchanted by the qualities of natural stone,

wood, metal, ceramics and glass. We are inspired by
traditional techniques in the ways we work and shape
these exquisite materials.

Above all, we are driven by a vision that infuses the

world’s finest crafts with the verve and vibrancy of
contemporary design. Combining the skills of the past
with the technology of today, this dynamic approach
results in high-end surfaces of timeless elegance.

Our portfolio of collections presents a diverse menu

of distinctive styles and concepts. Moreover, when the
goal is to devise something truly original, we have the
experience and expertise to work with our clients in
exploring and developing their own bespoke designs.

We believe that by adopting the best artisanal techniques

from the past and integrating them with classic to
futuristic design and the rarest materials from around the

the highest quality and tells its own story to ignite your
senses. Our ability to work closely with the most sought-
after designers and architects combined with the skills
of our expert craftspeople, enable us to explore endless
possibilities with the enchanting qualities of natural
stone, wood, metal, ceramics and glass. This helps us to

THE FINEST FOUNDATIONS FOR CREATIVITY

The starting point for every ORVI collection is the materials.

From natural stone to metal, ceramic, and glass, precious
and semi-precious minerals and more, every material used
is carefully selected for their beauty, durability and suitability
for sculpting, carving and crafting.
This catalogue illustrates only some of the high-quality
varieties of natural stone and other materials that have
proved popular with our customers. And because we
develop our portfolio on a project by project basis, it is
possible to consider an even broader array of materials in
consultation with our design team.
Through the combination of traditional craftsmanship
and modern technology, these materials are fashioned
into stunning forms, transforming flat surfaces into three
