Read more Read lessic! berlin was founded in 1996 by three friends in Berlin. The company's journey began with the use of an unconventional material, cold-rolled stainless steel, and the invention of a revolutionary mechanism, the screwless hinge system. When no manufacturer would produce the new design, the founders simply bought machines and started production in Berlin. Word of the new approach spread, and with guerrilla tactics, the young brand soon conquered the ranks of the design avant-garde. Making the most of very little has been the company's ethos ever since. Thirty years later, ic! berlin has won the SILMO d’Or and the Japan Eyewear Award numerous times. To this day, every frame is designed, engineered, and crafted by hand in Berlin.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, ic! berlin has launched a special capsule collection that bridges heritage and innovation, pairing iconic stainless-steel designs with new technical interpretations.In it, four classic stainless-steel frames celebrating the brand heritage - LEIF, WANDA, OLI THE 2ND, and PINA - are joined by two innovative styles - SODIUM and XENON - that take stainless-steel to the next level. This special eyewear edition revolves around a brand’s iconic chrome color treatment: each pair of glasses is designed to accompany the wearer over time, eliminating excess and focusing on the essence. In particular, natural treatments enhance the quality of polished steel without coatings or artifices. This prestigious technique is enhanced by the introduction of a trendy new color in the capsule collection: Transformative Teal, a shade that blends blue and dark green and expresses change and redirection. It is a color that evokes nature and simultaneously conveys a sense of calm and vibrant energy. All styles in the Transformative Teal color feature photochromic lenses in the same shade as the frame and they reflect the elegance and eclectic style of ic! berlin. These new lenses effortlessly shift from indoor wear to outdoor protection providing a quick, seamless adaptability to sunlight.
