Lindberg Eyewear

Lindberg Eyewear- an introduction

This month we are telling the story behind Lindberg so you can discover things you didn’t know about one of our most in demand brands. Things that might change your life, or at least your eyewear, forever!

Based in Aarhus, Denmark this small private company is among the most admired eyewear designers in the world. Lindberg are at the forefront of new and evolving global eyewear trends and at the cutting edge of eyewear design and how to make a sophisticated statement with your eyewear.

They burst on the scene in 1985 with the ground breaking Air Titanuim range.

Mr. Lindberg, an optician, was in his mid-forties and needed glasses himself for the first time. Experiencing it himself, his eyes were opened to how crap and uncomfortable all the glasses were. He found nothing that he was happy to wear himself, all day. So he set about creating eyewear that was lightweight but strong, stylish and extremely comfortable. He teamed up with his son Henrik, a trained architect, to design Air Titanium which upended the eyewear market with its delicate silhouette that was not only featherweight, but also virtually indestructible. Since then they have revolutionised eyewear design more than once. Innovation is key to their success. They have won 95 international design awards. The brand still remains an important and influential heavyweight in the eyewear industry today.

Lindberg’s ethos is to always put the end-user first in the product design process. Their approach works. For many glasses wearers, once they discover Lindberg they will wear nothing else.

You can create a truly personal eyewear experience-especially when it comes to colours. Endless options and combinations allow you to customise your very own colour universe matching your individual style.

With Lindberg eyewear there is no mass production or one-size-fits-all designs. Each frame is individually crafted to order, carefully incorporating your particular preferences, and they are all hand finished. Giving you a unique pair of glasses. The frames are a calling card for those who treasure function as much as fashion, quality as much as cool-factor.

Lindberg take pride in doing all things in-house. Everything they do is steeped in traditions of Danish design. Simplicity. Function. Elegance.

The Secrets of Danish Design

It seems the Danish have discovered the recipe behind making beautiful things that make life easier. Danish designers combine new technologies, simplicity and functionalism to design buildings, furniture, and objects that have become iconic. 

Functional design means first and foremost it works! Whether a chair or a pair of glasses it performs its function simply and elegantly. If it’s a chair it is comfortable and strong. If it is a pair of glasses they are light-as-a-feather yet strong and durable.

But equally important is the emotional element. Good design brings pleasure to the person using it. It makes you feel good. There is a beauty to it. When something is designed so perfectly you can’t help but feel a strong sense of joy simply by using it or even looking at it.

From the founder, Henrik Lindberg:

Lindberg designs are easy to spot for their clean lines and seamless construction, though it’s admittedly difficult to come across two entirely identical pairs. “If you cant to calculate all the possible outcomes of how many different styles exist in the LINDBERG universe, the number is rather absurd, like six million or something”, says the founder, Henrik Lindberg.

During the design process they have done away with everything that is not essential- screws, rivets and welds. “Screw is a really dirty word around here”, says Henrik. This means that their frames are flexible and incredibly strong.

Having an “individual to you” pair of glasses is not a problem with all the incredible options Lindberg has to offer. Lindberg gives you a customised piece of eyewear, designed just for you. Shape, size, material, and colour all custom designed to fit you.

“Your eyes and what’s in front of them, are the first thing people see when they meet you-not your feet, hands or legs”, he says. “So I really don’t grasp when someone puts so much effort into their overall look, and, then they just grab their glasses without a though-they do’t polish them, they probably have mushrooms growing on the nosepads- and out the door they go.”

Having spent nearly 35 years building a brand that has made the world a slightly prettier place, certainly for those lucky enough to see through Lindberg frames, but also for the rest, who knowingly or not, look at others wearing glasses that actually suit them too. 

 

LINDBERG FRAMES ARE LIKE NO OTHER.

Lindberg are constantly exploring new paths and pushing things forward. Here are a few of their newest ranges.

Lindberg Acetanium showcases advanced Lindberg know how in titanium and acetate and how to combine these materials for a new level of modern frame design. Acetanium is distinct, strong design with Lindberg’s trademark lightness.

 

Lindberg Strip is a distinctive design in which the lenses are mounted in a special acetate inner rim within the titanium plate frame.

The iconic Lindberg Air Titainium – full rim frame made entirely of ultra-light titanium wire – extremely flexible, strong and comfortable.

 

Lindberg uses only a special type of titanium, which is also used for pacemakers and other medical uses. In addition to being hypoallergenic, this type of titanium is extremely lightweight, flexible and strong.

The design is timeless and contemporary and there is nothing else like it.

Available in 35+ colours!
