Forma
Forma is a study in proportion. Its forms are drawn from the arches, columns, and thresholds that Italian architecture uses to organise light. Each object in this volume is a fragment of that vocabulary, rendered in fine gold or silver, made to be held.
The founding volume of the Orovanti archive. Five formats. One geometry. A quiet argument for permanence.

The Italian Language of Proportion
Why the arch, the column and the threshold remain the most instructive lessons a designer of physical objects can study.
From Weight to Form
Gold has always been measured. The question Orovanti asks is what happens once measurement is no longer the only thing that matters.
Surface, Shadow and Precious Metal
A brushed satin surface changes how gold behaves under light. It is a small decision with significant consequences.
