the story behind halcyon

The halycon collection is a yearning for a past best remembered rather than relived. Those ‘good old days’ still carry some baggage, smoking in the office, blatant sexism, the list goes on. But we don’t have to look too far into the past though, our signature piece is inspired by the hustle culture of the 2010’s. It features Adam Nuemann the co-founder of WeWork and champion of hustle culture who coined the phrase ‘rise and grind’. The bright yellow halo behind Nuemann is that of a New York taxi cab from the city WeWork originated.
