The essential and dynamic design of Halyard is inspired by the nautical world, evoking the lightness and precision of the halyards used to hoist sails. A system of ultra-thin cables, pulleys and counterweights allows smooth and precise light adjustment on two axes, while a swivelling spot offers high performance. Halyard can be installed in several configurations: wall-to-wall, wall-to-ceiling or ceiling-to-ceiling. The power supply, integrated in the counterweight, eliminates the need for additional ceiling connections.
Bernhard Osann, born in Augsburg, runs his design studio in Hamburg since 2014. He studied at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. He experiments with physical laws and geometrical shapes to find new unconventional solutions to simplify objects. The results are minimalistic dynamic constructions that move, interact with space and invite you to connect.
