About Half Halt

HALF HALT, founded by Adrienne Romine, produces high-end, handcrafted furniture and bespoke cabinetry for residential clients along with boutique office and hospitality spaces. Our style brings warmth to contemporary minimal silhouettes. Our intention is to make furniture that balances simple shapes with splashes of unexpected detail that will inspire a quiet moment of joy in those who use it. We get ideas from long walks and found shapes while drawing inspiration from Japanese and Scandinavian interiors. We fully believe in the maxim “buy less, choose well, make it last.” and make furniture that is easily maintained and built to last a lifetime.

Why HALF HALT?

Half Halt is a term derived from equestrian sports, meaning a quick pause while in motion to regain balance. In the context of furniture design, it’s all about thoughtful intention. Most of the studios ideas, both playful and problem-solving,  result from moments spent walking in nature, gazing out the window or sitting with eyes closed. Making time for contemplation, even for just five to seven minutes, is essential for aligning with Romine’s overall intention and choosing the best for her clients and the environment.
