DESIGN

Storytelling and impeccable aesthetics lies at the core of the ORTHODOX design philosophy. We develop items with passion for beauty, refinement and appreciation for natural materials, traditional craftsmanship and sustainability. We combine the Scandinavian style with extraordinary stories from other cultures, to create remarkable products likely to be noticed especially as being uncommon or extraordinary.

WORKMANSHIP

We believe that well crafted items created with great dedication, is the most important value to cultivate in the future of product design, as it enables an emotional connection to the user. This connection is of great importance to sustainability and the way we take care of our surroundings and environment.

LEGACY

We will connect with our customers by telling the story that by investing in high quality, they support conscious production and social awareness to crafts and the art of local culture and heritage.
