‘Aperitivo Affair’

A Quiet Beginning: Welcoming the Design Community to ortus

Last month marked a quiet but meaningful moment for us at ortus. Without fanfare, we opened our doors to a select group from the design community - designers, architects, creatives, and kindred spirits who share a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and material innovation.

The space itself was designed to feel more like an experience than a showroom - an intimate setting where pieces from our portfolio of brands could be seen, touched, and understood in their full context. Each object, each detail, spoke of stories rooted in purpose and process.

As the evening unfolded, so did conversations. New connections were made, ideas exchanged, and the shared language of design began to take shape in real time. It was less an opening, and more the quiet ignition of something bigger - a slow and steady beginning to a vision that will continue to evolve.

A Glimpse Inside

We’ve captured some of those moments - the atmosphere, the interactions, the details that made the space come alive. Our gallery from the event is now live, offering a glimpse into what made this soft opening so special. Whether you were there with us or are just discovering ortus, we invite you to explore the images and get a feel for the ethos we’re building, one considered piece at a time.

We’re just getting started.
