Elegant, refined, emotive: Black has been en 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.

With these premium solutions, old warehouse or industrial halls can be reimagined with style. Uncomplicated installation ensures smooth collaboration between trades and the fast realisation of projects.

Circular products such as those of the OBO BlackLine range make a crucial contribution to increased sustainability in construction.

The BlackLine portfolio

Cable support systems
Thanks to OBO BlackLine, entire cable support systems can be installed completely in black. Choose between classic wall fastening and a variety of ceiling suspension solutions. Not only are cables led stylishly through interior spaces, lighting systems are also integrated harmoniously.

Connection and fastening systems
Really highlighting surface-mounted installations requires system solutions that match the industrial style. With the OBO BlackLine product range, you can make a design statement in interiors with high aesthetic standards, while setting benchmarks in terms of function and sustainability.

Cable routing systems
These premium solutions complete the black style in sophisticated interiors. In addition, they not only guide cables through rooms in an appealing design, they also bring power and data to where they’re needed. If that’s in the middle of the room, on request different black service poles can provide an elegant, flexible power supply solution.

Underfloor systems
To realise sophisticated electrical installations and compelling design concepts in modern architecture, it goes without saying that we also offer compatible Deskbox DBL socket 33°, double STD data technology support DTS/DTG underfloor systems.

Device systems
OBO Deskboxes ensure direct access to power, data and multi-media connections at the workplace. They stand out with their discreet and elegant design. Our version with an empty housing is also easy to customise. Similar to our cable routing and underfloor systems, these desktop solutions can easily be expanded with the extensive OBO Modul 45® connector systems in black.
Reference projects: BlackLine in use
Various reference projects highlight the application possibilities and elegance of OBO BlackLine. One example which 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.
