Bernhard Osann

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.

“When I remove the superfluous and reduce the material to its minimum, objects are perceived as lines. By preserving only the essence, expand the borders of design freedom and forma mentis. Light becomes a narrative that is able to tell its own story.”

“I was inspired by the sculptural and kinetic aesthetics of articulated arms. Radical simplification brings these aesthetics into focus. As the joints work without visible wires or rope hoists the Untitled is reduced to a few precise lines. The result is a graphically appearing, timeless desk lamp, characterized by its flexibility”.
