Orvi has built its reputation on meticulous craftsmanship, blending traditional techniques with modern stone-working technology. Its mosaics are composed of countless precisely cut shapes, each assembled by hand with extraordinary patience and skill. While natural stone is the foundation of their work, Orvi often enriches its surfaces with subtle accents of wood, brass, or other materials.
One highlight of their latest collection is the wall tile “Jasper Blue.“ Contrary to what the name suggests, the “Jasper” here does not refer to the gemstone, but to a Persian word signifying wealth or something precious. At Orvi, the tile brings this concept to life through an elegant interplay of materials. Smooth white marble becomes the canvas for vivid inlays of lapis lazuli; a mystical stone admired since antiquity for its saturated blue hues and its aura of celestial power.
Lapis lazuli’s journey through history is legendary: Mined for millennia in the mountains of modern-day Afghanistan, it traveled westward along ancient trade routes. It adorned the death masks of Egyptian pharaohs, inspired reverence as a pigment in medieval illuminated manuscripts, and for centuries was prized as highly as gold.
In “Jasper Blue,“ the splendor of this storied stone is given a contemporary expression. Set within luminous white marble and highlighted with the soft glint of brass, it embodies Orvi’s signature philosophy: to merge timeless natural beauty with the precision and innovation of today’s design.
