It’s a concept space—both online and IRL. Part design platform, part community hub, part excuse to gather over collectible design, great objects, and the stories behind them.
See the worksBorn in Lisbon, The Orb exists both physically and digitally as a place where contemporary design moves beyond display and into dialogue — between makers, artists, and collectors.
Founded by Alejandra Albarran and Ricardo Gayle, The Orb grew from a shared passion for design into a platform that celebrates objects and the stories that give them meaning.
“From the start, we never set out to create “just a gallery.” The Orb has always been about the stories we love — and the joy of sharing them with people who care."— Alejandra Albarran
We care about makers, their hands, their creativity, and the messy, brilliant processes that bring objects to life.
What you’ll find here isn’t polite design. It’s chairs with attitude, lights with philosophy, and pieces that bend the rules.
Our role? To connect. To listen. To host the conversation between artists, designers and collectors.
We move through cities, visiting studios, spending time with the people behind the work, and listening to their stories.
These are encounters that matter— moments of presence where relationships begin.
Through Orbitings, objects gain meaning. Stories are shared, trust is built, and The Orb takes shape around people first.
