Just a quick update on our ever growing Lindberg collection. We received another wonderful ladies model (1125, colAC39). It oozes class! The shape is very feminine with soft lines and simplistic style.The Acetanium is made from a 3-ply acetate material, which works really well. The front features a highly polished black, with a very fine ebony and mother of pearl layer behind. The sides are made from titanium and their colour (a matt finished light grey) complement the dark coloured front perfectly. Like all Lindberg Acetanium frames, they feature adjustable nose pads and a screwless hinge. Heavy? Not at all. Although I didn’t wheigh them, they can’t be more than about 10 grams. ... read more

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

In the last post post about my experience with the Kodak Unique AntiFatigue lenses, I included a picture where I am wearing a frame from the “me” collection of MarkusT. 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

This week was an exciting week for us. Those of you who have been in the shop will know that the LINDBERG range is our pride and joy. Claudia and I have been wearing LINDBERG frames for years, mainly from the “Spirit” which is a rimless design and probably the lightest frames on the market. Yesterday however was special. We received the latest addition to the LINDBERG range – the first models of the “Acetanium” collection. The frames are made from beautiful materials and the attention to detail is just incredible. The new collection, although not rimless, is completely in tune with LINDBERG’s core values: lightness, comfort and simplicity. ... read more

Only a few days ago I announced that we were about to add the “orgreen” range to our collection of frames and today the first frames have arrived in the practice. I don’t know why it is, but Danish frame designers seem to be getting it right. We’ve been carrying the Lindberg range of frames for quite a while now and we have recently also added the Bellinger range to our collection of frames. While at Sydney’s ODMA Fair last month I also had a chance to see this outstanding Danish range of Titanium spectacle frames – “orgreen”. The creators of this range, like Lindberg and Bellinger, also work with top grade titanium. What immediately stands out with the “orgreen” are the sculptured fronts and sides of the frames as well as the really refreshing use of colour. ... read more

The short answer is: we all wear spectacles by a small Danish company called Lindberg. You want to know why? Is it because they have a fancy label on the side that is “in”, “trendy” or whatever? Is it because they are so expensive that only the rich and famous can afford them? The answer to all those questions is no. It’s because with only 1.9 grams in weight, the frames would have to be the lightest and most comfortable frames one could wear. ... read more

The design concept of a specatacle frame should be based on comfort, aesthetics and quality. That is why we are always on the lookout for innovative ideas that fit this formula. The “me” range by MarkusT is one of those exceptional interpretations that could almost be called ingeneous. ... read more
