Orvi Surfaces started in 2014 with Sanjeev’s passion for creating innovative surfaces, with a fine blend of craftsmanship & technology. Working with more than 60 in-house artisans, Orvi uses varied craft techniques from across the world including stone carving, hand sculpting, intricate metal inlay, stone –in-stone inlay, raku firing, etc., to create bespoke & timeless surfaces using exquisite materials like natural stone, wood, metal, liquid metal, pure metal, ceramics, and glass.

Their products embrace the traditional arts, and thereby ensure that the surfaces they create always carry the Orvi signature; handcrafting to create the finishing and detail using in many cases a combination of materials.
Their inspiration comes not just from the architecture of the past, but also from designers and architects of the present day who, with their vision for pushing the boundaries of creativity, are the people who today create the challenges that inspire the team at Orvi.
