The models

Combining timeless elegance and Mercedes-Benz’s “Sensual Purity” philosophy with ic! berlin’s precision engineering and design language: this is the foundation of the new Spring/Summer 2026 Eyewear collection. The result of a well-established collaboration between high-end automotive design and the screwless eyewear technology of the Berlin-based brand—part of the Marcolin portfolio since 2023—the collection introduces several new features and includes three new models for both optical and sun.

The materials

Among the most notable elements of the capsule collection is the introduction of two hybrid frames in acetate and metal, combining visual depth, tactile quality, and fluid lines with a retro-futuristic character. This is reflected in the details of the top bar, the engraved front, and the temples, whose finishes echo the aerodynamic lines of Mercedes-Benz design. Alongside these frames is the metal model MB26, completing the trilogy of fully metallic unisex styles by ic! berlin for Mercedes-Benz.

The new palette

Finally, two highly refined shades define the collection’s color identity: Sea Pine, a deep green with blue undertones, and Verdesilber, an exclusive Mercedes-Benz color that enhances silver gray with green metallic reflections—bringing to eyewear a finish directly inspired by automotive design language. Lines and colors that meet the needs of a dynamic, young audience with a sensitivity for refined, design-driven aesthetics.
