About the Founder

ORO, taken from the Spanish word for gold, is the inspiration that founder and executive publisher Gordon Goff founded the company with; a principle of building lovingly hand crafted books that exude creativity and employ the highest standards of quality in an effort to express a deeper perspective and reveal the soul of design.

Goff began his career in publishing in the mid 1980s in Singapore where he launched Palace Press International with his younger brother Raoul, which over a period of over two decades grew into a very successful book production and high quality illustrated book packaging house developing, producing, and printing thousands of titles for the likes of Penguin Studio, Harper Collins, Random House, Chronicle Books, Rizzoli, Thames and Hudson, Callaway Arts and Entertainment, and many more. Working from this international platform, the Goff brothers later launched Mandala Publishing and Insight Editions, both of which have gone on to become top-tier publishing houses in their respective fields.

Over the last 12 years ORO has designed and published over 500+ distinct titles, emerging as a global leader in the publication of design and applied research based academic publications.

ORO’s editorial and design team is founded on the concept of close collaboration with authors operating under a unique approach to create printed works of lasting value while providing hands-on customer service through the design and production of each publication, insuring that each book accurately reflects the creative vision of the author while offering the highest quality craftsmanship in the book making process.

ORO Editions editorial platform is concentrated on design, architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, and photography fueling the growing dialogue on inventive built environments and sustainable private and public space through bold visual presentation.
