At The Ori House, commissioned work is not simply decorative—it is destiny made visible.

Rooted in the West African Yoruba concept of Ori—the divine inner self and seat of consciousness—our commissioning process is a deeply intentional collaboration between artist, space, and spirit. Each project becomes an opportunity to embody purpose, place memory, and presence through site-specific artworks that bridge the physical and the metaphysical.

We specialize in creating one-of-a-kind works for luxury private residences, public cultural landmarks, architectural interiors, landscape environments, hospitality spaces, and spiritual sanctuaries. Whether sculptural, ritual-based, or materially innovative, every piece is crafted to resonate with the energetic and aesthetic essence of its site.

Our process honors both ancestral traditions and contemporary methodologies—pairing visionary artists with clients seeking more than status objects. These are not just art commissions. They are legacy gestures. Spiritual alignments. Altars of future memory.

What We Offer

  • Site-Specific Art Commissions
    For collectors, developers, architects, and interior designers seeking works that hold meaning, depth, and elemental presence.

  • Public & Cultural Artworks
    Sculptural or performative works created for parks, civic spaces, healing gardens, institutions, and architectural icons.

  • Private Residential Installations
    Bespoke works for intimate, sacred, or ceremonial environments—designed in alignment with personal values, traditions, or cosmologies.

  • Spiritual Design Integration
    Working with clients and design teams to embed ritual logic, ancestral symbolism, and material storytelling into built environments.

Empowering Artists Through Commissioned Works: Crafting Transformative Art Experiences for Public Spaces, Private Collections & Cultural Destinations

At The Ori House, our commissioned projects serve a dual purpose:
They offer collectors and partners access to original, site-specific works—while simultaneously providing artists and artisans with critical resources to advance their practice, deepen their research, and expand their material exploration.

By investing in commissioned artworks, our collectors directly support the evolution of new bodies of work—enabling artists to push beyond conventional boundaries and bring forth bold, future-facing narratives rooted in ancestral knowledge, material innovation, and cultural storytelling.

We encourage artists to use commissions as a platform to challenge dominant art world paradigms, integrating both tactile craftsmanship and technological experimentation to create interactive, immersive works that transform how audiences experience art in both private and public realms.

Whether activating a private residence, a luxury hotel, a public park, or a corporate headquarters, each Ori House commission is designed to:

  • Expand the field of contemporary ritual design

  • Push the boundaries of material and conceptual practice

  • Engage audiences through unexpected, participatory experiences

  • Create artworks that hold both cultural gravity and architectural presence

Why Commission Through The Ori House?

  • Direct access to artists capable of creating transformative site-specific installations

  • Bespoke art commissions for luxury residences, hospitality design, public art projects, and institutional collections

  • Works that combine handcrafted processes with cutting-edge technology and interactive design

  • Projects that challenge, inspire, and reshape the contemporary art conversation

  • Commissions that serve both as personal statements and as cultural contributions to future artistic discourse

At The Ori House, commissioning is not simply about acquisition—it is about participating in the ongoing evolution of contemporary art practice while investing in the future of both culture and craft.
