Architectural nature

Etymologically, the name “Orlo” is Italian for ‘Seam’, ‘Rim’ or ‘Edge’ which encapsulates the architectural nature of the collection.

Vienna

Drawing inspiration from the Wiener Werkstätte, a movement that emerged in Vienna in 1903 and influenced the art nouveau movement, Bodo Sperlein's silverware collections showcase a minimalist yet striking quality. With a contemporary lens, the manipulation of silver manifests in undulating, curved, and smooth forms that frame each piece, reminiscent of the Wiener Werkstätte's designs. Adding to the harmony of this collection is the collaboration with Wiener Blut, an iconic couture perfumery. Together, Sperlein, Jarosinski & Vaugoin, and Wiener Blut have produced sculptural perfume bottles and toppers that pay homage to the Orlo collection.
