OBO BlackLine
Premium solutions for surface-mounted installations
Elegant, refined, emotive: Black has been in vogue in architecture and interior design for many years. The light-absorbing non-colour shines in every environment, enhancing the ambiance of many different interiors, in both residential and commercial buildings. At the same time, surface-mounted installations are experiencing a revival as part of the trend for the industrial style. With its BlackLine, OBO presents a unique product range that meets both trends: system solutions for surface-mounted installations, now available in stylish black. The portfolio features cable support, cable routing and connection and fastening systems, among others. Whether retro or industrial style – our products from the OBO BlackLine range enable cohesive design statements that integrate seamlessly into modern architecture, increasing the value of the properties.

The BlackLine portfolio
Reference projects: BlackLine in use
Various reference projects highlight the application possibilities and elegance of OBO BlackLine. One example that can be found in Düsseldorf and was completed in 2023 is the Eclipse office tower, where the BlackLine products seamlessly and elegantly harmonise with the overall building concept on multiple levels. The black OBO products impress visitors to BVB FanWelt in Dortmund. They blend in naturally with the industrial style of the building and even reflect one of the club colours.
