Biography	ORFEO STUDIO was established in 2024 in Italy after an intense multi-year study of the concept of the matter and the parallel development of bespoke projects. The processing and treatment of acquired metals is very dissimilar to each other and are distinguished by the interaction of styles, designs and contaminations of different eras. This process of continuous evolution, leads to perpetual rupture and change in the conceptual view of matter. Our human evolutionary path cannot be linear, predictable or dictated by criterion. It is an unpredictable mutation that takes us in divergent directions from the traditional path. It is from this reflection that we transmit our experience, experiencing a new awareness of creative perception. We assume mastery of our artistic vision, creating design works that reach a higher level of tangible matter, leading this style statement to become conviction. Purely handcrafted and handmade objects from start to finish are produced entirely by ORFEO STUDIO in our production unit in Italy. The pieces, mostly made of metal, are customizable and numbered one by one. Each work is consecrated by a unique finish, executed with archaic and primitive processes, until the achievement of a work that necessarily creates questions and does not give answers. “ADVERSE” The ADVERSE project brings to light a series of innovative collectible works, the result of a purely artisanal production. Each piece is conceived to challenge traditional aesthetic conventions, with a conceptual development that combines balance and sharp lines, a style statement that expresses a hostile and rebellious feeling. Purely handcrafted and handmade object as a whole from start to finish produced entirely by ORFEO STUDIO in its production unit in Italy, pieces made mostly of metal and customizable, numbered one by one, documenting with video the construction and processing procedures for each individual piece , certified and finally consecrated by a unique reference finish from time to time, performed with archaic and primitive processes. These works offer a vision of the future through bold forms and futuristic lines, defying conventional aesthetic norms. Our goal is to give meaning to their existence, welcoming their presence as an anticipation of an indefinite future other.

Education

School / Course	ORFEO STUDIO was founded by Cosma Greco and was born as an Italian studio dedicated to design and the transformation of matter, developed through a path of introspection, bespoke projects, interior architecture, sculptural objects and collectible design. Its research does not arise from a sudden gesture, nor from a predefined aesthetic. It is the result of an experience matured over time, through complex projects, custom collaborations and a continuous relationship with matter, with its possibilities, its resistances and its breaking points. From this path, an intimate, subjective and increasingly radical vision takes shape: to bring design beyond conventional language, toward a state of limit where function, matter and presence begin to lose their usual boundaries. Every work, according to the mission of ORFEO STUDIO, begins from a story. A tension, a memory, a provocation, or a real or imaginary narrative becomes the point of origin of the creative process. ORFEO STUDIO never starts from the object itself, but from something that does not yet have a form: an invisible image, an intuition, an abstract force to be made tangible. The story becomes form. The work of the studio consists precisely in this passage: giving body to the invisible. Through a controlled artistic madness, the vision is brought to the limit without being dispersed. Instinct is not erased, but disciplined and transformed into language. Form is not domesticated, but pushed to the point where it becomes experience, presence, question. The works of ORFEO STUDIO inhabit an ambiguous territory between design and sculpture, between myth and epic, between function and ritual, between obedience and deviation. Function remains present, but never dominates the work. Each piece preserves a narrative legacy: it carries the memory of the story from which it was born and the silent responsibility of making it visible. For ORFEO STUDIO, the limit is a no-man’s-land where the work comes to life
