Ortus
Ortus is a sculptural indoor garden, engineered for hospitality. Herbs, garnishes, and edible flowers grow rooted and alive right where they're served — in the lobby, at the bar, beside the pass. Lighting, irrigation, and climate are automated by Raiz OS and monitored remotely, so it thrives without a green thumb on staff.
Delivered ready to grow, it plugs into a standard outlet and starts producing within days. Your team harvests on demand; our team handles everything else.
Farm to Cocktail
A living Ortus unit grows fresh herbs and edible flowers directly on the bar. Cut fresh and garnished tableside. Not a supplier, not a delivery — the living garden is right there, in front of the guest.
Three Finishes
Ortus is built to live permanently on the bar — a design feature, not a delivery. One footprint, a finish for every room.
Copper
Warm, architectural.
White
Clean, gallery-quiet.
Matte black
Low-lit drama.
