Urbi et Orbi

We live in a fast-paced world, where infinite images succeed one another at a rapid pace and in the end, we do not have time to see the depth in any of them until they eventually become two-dimensional.
At URBI et ORBI we love to give duration to the moments. We enjoy the present before it becomes the past. We refuse to look only at the surface; we seek the underlying meanings, emotions and messages.
In URBI et ORBI, we insist on believing in timeless values. A product can be more than just an object. It can have a long-term existence, and age gracefully without deteriorating. It can be the space, not merely fill it. In addition to its functionality, a product should have character, spirit, and personality. It should awaken memories and emotions, engage in a dialogue with the user, have an identity, move through space and time, create relationships and experiences.
We want to receive and transmit messages. We produce and propose products that have life.
Established in Athens in 2012 URBI et ORBI has spent a decade showcasing the versatility of concrete as a premier material for design products. Collaborating with esteemed designers, we have curated exceptional collections across bathroom and living spaces. Throughout our journey, we have earned recognition and acclaim from professionals worldwide, “cementing” our reputation as innovators in the industry.
With an innovative viewpoint, we evolve, experimenting with new techniques and finishes, viewing each new design as a challenge.
Central to our production process is concrete, our primary raw material. Infused with technologically advanced components and complemented by secondary materials like wood and metal, our products embody a blend of form and function. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, our creations adhere to European standards and directives, ensuring quality and reliability.
Concrete is considered by many a mass that is not eco-friendly because it is artificial, but cement is just a minuscule fraction of the overall composition. Over time, concrete integrates seamlessly into the environment, aligning with nature's rhythms. At URBI et ORBI, we believe in effortless effort, balance, coexistence, and harmony. We listen to the genius of nature and strive to emulate it.
Concrete can be recycled, and we make it a natural part of our process to do so because we want our ecological footprint to be nominal. We use raw materials that we find near Athens, reusing the sand collected from processing in the workshop. We have chosen to recycle 100% of our waste internally in our production.
We create harmony.
