A trend, currently set by some top German and Danish frame designers, is to keep their designs simple, with clean lines, light but still extremely robust and strong. 3 companies in particular stand out: ic!berlin, MYKITA from Germany and Lindberg from Denmark. All three companies not only design their frames, they also manufacture them in their respective countries. Is alone is already somewhat against the trend, because many frame design companies have their designs made in Japan or China. ... read more

This morning a particularly nice example of the Lindberg Acetanium range arrived in the store. It’s model 1225 in a stunning combination of 3-ply acetate and strip titanium sides. The frame, as usual is incredibly light and of immaculate quality. The 3-ply combination of acetate is unusual with tortoishell on the outside, a yummy purple on the inside and a light grey in the middle. Inserted in the bridge are the titanium pad arms with silicon cushions that support the frames comfortably on any shaped nose. ... read more

As mentioned in a tweet a couple of days ago, we have received 2 new deSign Markus T frames. It’s a new shape introduced in the incredibly light and sturdy me-collection. The two colour are cappuccino (a soft matt brown) and olive (a nice and soft green). Both frames have matt clear sides which look stunning in either combination. We decided to add these 2 frames to our collection of Markus T frames, because they are just slightly deeper than earlier models. This makes them particularly suitable for the lady who requires a larger frame and/or is using progressive addition lenses. ... read more

You may have noticed that our Online Shop is not accessable at the moment. It is currently being renovated as the “old” shop turned out to be rather difficult to navigate and we also had a few issues with it’s integration into the main website (that’s what happens when an amateur tries to do everything himself – never mind, we enjoy it). Hopefully we’ll be able to get the shop back online in a few days or so. ... read more

I had a few inquiries as to exactly what model frame it is. Well, the frame is, as mentioned, a model from the “me” collection. To be more specific, it is ... read more
