Orciani

Claudio Orciani: founder and creative mind behind the brand. With his desire to surprise, experiment, and innovate, he believed in a project and turned it into the successful company it is today. From his passion, where craftsmanship and creativity meet and become inseparably intertwined, each product is born. "It was 1978, I was 23 years old and desperately looking for a belt suitable for a boy my age, so I decided to make one with a piece of leather I got from a shoemaker. The belt was very popular with a friend who owned a boutique, so much so that she encouraged me to make more. I looked at the calendar and never forgot that date, it was January 15, 1979." An eclectic figure, outside the fray, Claudio Orciani also collaborates with renowned artists such as Arnaldo Pomodoro, Mario Ceroli, and Valeriano Trubbiani, creating a triptych of artist belts in limited edition. This happened in 1997, as documented in a book with an introduction by Gillo Dorfles. Rock music and its spirit are also a continuous source of inspiration for Orciani, who creates artistic guitars made from the assembly of parts of belts, bags, gloves, and wallets; all prototypes created during the research phase. Orciani is also a company that respects nature and harnesses alternative energy. At its facility, a photovoltaic system powers a geothermal unit that functions as heating or cooling. Our company uses 100% renewable energy with European EECS-GO certification. Orciani is a brand that over time has acquired a well-defined identity, capable of innovating without ever betraying itself, where PAST and FUTURE meet to create TIMELESS objects.
