Obectra Studio: The Sonic Fabric of Berlin’s Techno Heartbeat
A Manifesto in Fabric: Where Underground Culture Meets Wearable Rebellion
In the labyrinthine nights of Berlin, where pulsating beats echo through concrete cathedrals, fashion becomes more than clothing—it becomes armor. At the heart of this aesthetic revolution is Obectra Studio, a Berlin-born label that defies conventions and dissolves boundaries between gender, identity, and the avant-garde. Emerging from the city’s underground scene, Obectra captures the gritty soul of Berlin techno, distilling it into a visual narrative of stark lines, dark palettes, and androgynous silhouettes.
Obectra was founded by Slovenian designer Blaž Čuk, a creative visionary with roots in fine arts and a soul tethered to subcultural rebellion. From the outset, the label has served as a manifesto: resisting fast fashion with annual collections, advocating authenticity, and crafting garments that embolden the wearer to step unapologetically into their power. It’s more than aesthetic—it’s ideology in motion, wrapped in black.
Rooted in Berlin: Craftsmanship and Culture Collide
Every thread tells a story, and for Obectra, those stories are sewn right in Berlin. Each piece is handmade in the brand’s studio, allowing an obsessive level of craftsmanship where detail becomes devotion. This local production model empowers the brand to control not just quality, but intention—garments are sculpted, not manufactured.
Obectra’s signature use of upcycled leather and natural fabrics reflects a commitment to sustainability, but also to raw, tactile beauty. From supple harnesses to structured jumpsuits, the materials speak with their own texture and tone. This is urban couture with conscience—where design is fiercely futuristic, but mindful of its ecological footprint.
As the fashion world reckons with its environmental impact, Obectra stands out by doing less, but doing it better. Annual releases allow ideas to ripen, silhouettes to be perfected, and pieces to become collectible heirlooms of Berlin nightlife. The slower pace is not a delay, but a decision—to let fashion breathe.
Style Statements: The Must-Haves of a Berlin Techno Night
If Berlin’s dance floors had a uniform, Obectra’s designs would be the cornerstone. The pieces are not merely worn—they are performed, transformed, and lived in until dawn breaks across graffiti-stained rooftops. At Mono-Krom Gallery, two masterworks stand out as iconic expressions of this spirit.
The Cotton Blend Sleeveless Jumpsuit with Zipper is a feat of functional minimalism. Its standing collar and matte black tone recall a dystopian elegance—something between a pilot suit and a priestly robe for the rave congregation. Stretchy, breathable, and impossibly cool, it’s designed for bodies in motion and minds at ease.
On the other hand, the Double Strap Leather Harness delivers bold punctuation—a declaration of self, dominance, and desire. Its twin straps frame the torso like a visual exclamation point, while premium cow leather and precise metal hardware hint at Berlin’s industrial legacy. This is not a mere accessory; it is attitude made visible.
Each item doesn’t just dress the night—it defines it.
Why Mono-Krom Gallery Chose Obectra
At Mono-Krom, our curatorial choices are deeply personal—rooted in vision, connection, and resonance. We’ve supported Obectra since its earliest collections, not only because of the brand’s radical designs, but because we see in it the same spirit that defines our own ethos. We are Berlin: layered, rebellious, and unapologetically experimental.
Obectra embodies the energy of the underground not as trend, but as truth. In a world saturated with sameness, their pieces act as visual resistance. They dress the anti-hero, the nonconformist, the one who doesn’t ask for permission—but commands presence.
Our decision to collaborate was a natural evolution. Berlin isn’t just our base—it’s our identity. In Obectra, we found a mirror to that identity: sharp-edged, unfiltered, and emotionally raw. Together, we are shaping not just what people wear, but how they move through the world.

Conclusion: Obectra, the Future of Nightwear Revolution
Obectra doesn’t simply follow the beat of Berlin’s techno—it sets it. Through its haunting silhouettes, artisanal construction, and slow-fashion principles, the label offers more than garments: it offers a philosophy of presence and provocation. In a world that moves too fast, Obectra dares to slow down, to deepen, and to endure.
For those who live their lives in grayscale tones and strobe-lit moments, Obectra is not optional—it’s essential. It’s the silent power of black, the structure of rebellion, the couture of counterculture.
And here at Mono-Krom Gallery, we’re proud to carry that torch into every curated collection. Because when the music drops, and the lights dim, only one question remains: What will you wear to become unforgettable?
