Lindberg Eyewear – Fit For Royalty
If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then it will make perfect sense to frame them up in the best way possible. Where eyewear is concerned, there are few options more desirable than Danish optic design brand, Lindberg. With almost fifty years of history, it has come a long way since its inception in the late 1960s. The company’s fortune sky-rocketed after Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and her husband were seen spotting its Air Titanium frames in the mid 1980s, which featured cutting edge design technology that was revolutionary in those days. Having proven that it is literally fit for royalty (it was granted an exclusive Royal Warrant of Appointment last year), Lindberg is now synonymous with quality and style.
The Air Titanium frame that catapulted the brand to fame is often lauded to be the best rimless glasses in the world. They were a breath of fresh air to the heavy, uncomfortable glasses that were commonly used 25 years ago. Extremely lightweight with thinner lenses, the Air Titanium is the first spectacles frame to have no screws on its hinges. Instead, it is put together by virtually indestructible coiled hinges. This technological break-through allowed the glasses to take on a simple, minimalist design that is elegant, timeless and very chic.
Not content to rest upon its laurels, the brand has innovated countless times over the years to build upon its already strong foundations. From the original rimless glasses, rimmed, acetate and even precious metal variations were added to the range gradually. More focused collections meant specifically for men, women, even teenagers and children were developed. Today, in addition to the classic models, one can find trendier, but no less strikingly beautiful, designs that are made with the younger crowd in mind.
The brand’s Precious range is its most decadent and luxurious. With frames wrought of white or yellow gold and embellished with diamonds, these glasses are more jewellery than eyewear. For the true connoisseur, they are pure indulgence.
If you fancy yourself to be a refined, tasteful intellectual (or aspire to be one), a pair of Lindberg glasses will complete your look.
