ic! berlin and Mercedes-AMG

For the sixth time since 2020, ic! berlin and Mercedes-AMG come together with an eyewear collection that combines urban aesthetics, technology and a sporty spirit. Three new models inspired by Berlin’s architecture and the AMG color palette tell the story of the encounter between German innovation, advanced materials and contemporary luxury.

A Successful Partnership

On one side, the visionary and urban approach of ic! berlin, whose identity is defined by innovation, sustainability and attention to detail; on the other, the technology and aesthetic research of a sports car brand like Mercedes-AMG. This spring once again confirms the collaboration between the two brands—two realities with a deeply German DNA, always on the move and ready to push their limits.

 

The Collection

The new collection features three models—marking the sixth chapter of a collaboration that began in 2020—defined by dynamic shapes and a bold use of colors inspired by the AMG palette. For example, the Pearl version of the AMG 22 model features orange details on the temples and mirrored lenses, while the new lacquered finish on the special ultralight carbon fiber FLEXARBON®—an exclusive ic! berlin patent—adds depth and brightness to the frame of the AMG 20 model.

 

The Campaign

The new campaign also highlights how the ic! berlin–AMG collection is designed for an urban environment, with bold geometries that echo Berlin’s architecture and successfully combine the style of a luxury brand like Mercedes-AMG with a company that grew out of Berlin’s alternative scene, such as ic! berlin, known worldwide for innovative solutions like its signature screwless hinge. Two brands united by a shared focus on design and a constant pursuit of aesthetic and technological innovation.
