ORPHEUS Art Element

A monument to nature, sculpted in light


The Greek legend of Orpheus tells of a poet and singer whose charm was so profound that even stones were enchanted by his music. Inspired by his story, the ORPHEUS collection was created to honour nature’s most remarkable treasures.

Semi-precious stones, rare minerals, and delicate objects of desire are carefully selected in their untouched state and woven into a sculptural embrace of hand-forged metal.

In addition to our curated collection of gems — amethyst, pyrite, malachite, rock crystal, labradorite, calcite and fine porcelain Nymphenburg rose — the ORPHEUS Art Element may be personalised with a cherished mineral or stone from your own collection.

Designed to serve as a personal statement, this art element brings a harmonious balance of art and function into any interior. Multiple elements can be combined into bespoke compositions: linear cascades, cloud-like arrays, or vertical installations.

€ 3.800

“The splendour of Earth’s riches is beyond imagination, hidden just beneath the surface lie some of nature’s most remarkable treasures. The beauty and eternal essence of these stones captivate me, inspiring me to weave their timeless spirit into this collection.”

William Brand, creator and sculptor
