Our Story

"Founded in Berlin in 2018, Obsidian Haus was born from a simple belief: that commercial work could carry the emotional weight of cinema."

We began as a three-person team with a single camera, a studio the size of a hallway, and an unshakeable conviction that every brand deserved to be seen as art. Seven years later, our work has aired in 40 countries, run in the pages of international fashion weeks, and helped reshape the identity of brands across fashion, beauty, tech, and culture.

Our name comes from the volcanic glass prized by craftspeople for thousands of years—simultaneously the darkest material in nature and capable of the sharpest edge. We strive for the same duality: work that is bold and austere, precise and poetic.
