The art world has always inspired LINDBERG, that is why we are proud to be an official partner of West Bund. Our collaboration with the West Bund Art & Design Festival showcases a new side to the trademark LINDBERG creativity – an art-centric portrayal of colour and materials used in our award-winning eyewear.

“Art of Customisation” provokes interest to see LINDBERG beyond an eyewear brand, but also as a brand that passionately embraces technical innovation, design and art.

We are thankful for everyone at West Bund Art & Design Festival who stopped by to see “Art of Customisation”.

We sat down with art director, creative mind and eyewear lover Beatrice Gutu for a talk about her personal style and why there is just something special about Paris. 

Paris for me is a city of constant inspiration. There is always something new to see and to discover. Sometimes you walk on a random street and you see an art gallery or an atelier, you know that you are surrounded by art and the people who live by it.

That is why I adore Paris Fashion week. It’s the final and the most important FW and it’s always something to look forward to. I feel so fortunate to be able to witness the magic of it. It gives me so much energy and inspiration when I see a good show. Everything from location and the set up to the music, styling, light etc. It’s special to realise how much work is behind those 10 - 15 min of a show.

I’m passionate about art, architecture, fashion, design, film, music, travels - everything that makes me feel alive. So, a visit to a museum is something I always like to do. It’s an escape for me. I could spend an entire day in a museum. And Paris has so many museums and galleries, I could easily spend all of my time. If only there wasn’t work to do in the meantime.

Eyewear is always my most important accessory. I love how easily it can give a new mood to the whole look. Style is a form of expression. It’s a reflection of the personality, a collection of things that represent us translated into clothes. When it comes to my style and the choices I make, I always prioritise quality over quantity. I invest in timeless pieces which will serve me for a long time.

For me LINDBERG offers exactly that. The attention to every detail is so special. You know you are wearing something that is made to last.

What makes London special?

There's always something cool to see and do, a different energy and style in each corner. It truly is a melting pot of cultures. But since the city has so much to offer, it can be a little overwhelming. There are so many unique spots from the more established venues to the independent stores, restaurants and coffee shops.

What places would you recommend?

Monocle café is always nice for a quick bite and a great cup of coffee. If you’re looking for a great view then Sky Garden is a really underrated place, it's a nice spot to catch up with friends while taking in the incredible view of London. If you’re hungry East London has a great selection of trendy restaurants, however I would also recommend the Mayfair/Knightsbridge area for fine dining.

If you’re in the mood for shopping, you will find a lot of good stores in Chiltern street like Sunspel, Hamilton & Hare and Trunkiers, but a visit to Dover street market is also worth it. Their mix of high-end pieces and streetwear, all in the same building, is exquisite.

How would you describe your personal style?

I’m a menswear enthusiast with a penchant for well-made, premium goods.
I would describe my style as minimalistic with a emphasizes on the right fabrics, muted colours and clean lines. There are certain items I can’t live without, like: white sneakers, a white t-shirt and a nice wool suit.

How do you feel LINDBERG fits into your personal style?

I live by the slogan: buy less, choose well and make it last. I feel like LINDBERGs titanium frames fit that mantra perfectly, with their durability and timeless design.

The winner of this year’s ‘Lifestyle and Fashion’ category is our elegant, LINDBERG sun titanium 8415, which has

truly represented pioneering contributions to the German and international design landscape.

– German Design Award Jury

Light, sturdy and individual the LINDBERG sun titanium 8415 sunglasses are instantly recognisable in form and style that suggests a cat eye shape. Alabaster white melds with golden brushed titanium seemingly harking back to an earlier Hollywood era and appears to suffuse the glasses with a similar star quality.

Godfrey Gao has the ability to convey subtle emotion, highlighted with LINDBERG eyewear. The actor’s appearance is not over-taken by the frames, though delicately compliments his facial features with LINDBERG’s mindset – ridding of all things unnecessary – screws, rivets and wields, and therefore revolutionising minimalistic and lightweight eyewear.

A close-up of MøF titanium makes the scene with attributes of style and sense, combined into one frame. Gao wears the practical frame which adopts the multifunctional eyewear concept of the interchangeable lens and inner-rim system – a frame so functional that it’s suitable for any environment without losing the sense of style and refinement.

Gao’s perception of his style is comfortable and classic, the essence of the quintessential gentleman’s aesthetic. These characteristics are undoubtedly the epitome of LINDBERG’s fashion and design traits, by always putting the end-user first in the product design process with the custom of presenting simplicity and exemplary elegance.

Every year we innovate. A constant quest for perfection compels mankind to always push the boundaries of what is possible to engineer. Whichever technical breakthrough we currently take pride in demonstrating, our eyewear will always embody our minimalist mindset and loathe of material redundancy.

Every year trends re-emerge. We know from experience this will happen again and again and still we relish in the joy of anticipation as to what will trend next season on the fashion scene. Will we revel in romantic 50's ruffles, will we groove in 70’s geometric patterns? Or will we bang out a retake on an 80’s hairstyle? Whichever trend we choose to embrace this season, our eyewear must be able to complement our style preference as well as our individual features.

Our current window visuals epitomises just this. In a mosaic of contrasting and complementary coloured squares, it is up to the viewer to create shapes and patterns.

The mosaic art form is as timeless as the LINDBERG frame. It reaches back in time to ancient Mesopotamian glass tile decorations where multiple pieces are united to form a whole – just as the LINDBERG building system.

Perception of the mosaic art form is all in the eyes of the beholder. Our interpretation of mosaics connotes a grid of pixels and draws parallels to our modern-day digital age as a reminder to stay in transition.

Delicately tinted acrylic displays add yet another dimension to the colour formation and encourage curiosity. The combination and overlay of displays bring out new nuances, which are underlined as the colours engage with daylight.

Light, yet colourful as ever, these visuals inspire classic LINDBERG customisation. We invite you to make it your own.

In the latest edition of international eyewear magazine, Spectr, photographer, Bela Raba has captured the subtlety of layers of two recent additions to our sun titanium collection.

In a series of photos where the architectural environment and reflections of natural light play dominant elements, the aesthetic attention to delicate details and soft tones are echoed fittingly to the frames featured.

Comparable aspects are portrayed through one of LINDBERG’s in-house photographers as he took our frames to distant skies. By using the sun titanium frames as the underlying essence, the unique characteristics were emphasized from nature’s elements.

The photos speak for themselves as they each highlight distinctive LINDBERG features.

The colour scheme of this sun titanium is complimented through the radiant, polished titanium and the way the environment is reflected in the lens. The smoky hue of the acetate side shields and clarity of the gradient lenses are also magnified in this setting.  

The trademark lightness of LINDBERG sun titanium is indicated through the faint placement of the frame in its raw surroundings.

Featuring refreshing hues and distinctive shapes, this new edition of our lookbook is all about leaving a colourful yet minimalistic impression with eyewear styles versatile for whatever comes your way.

We don’t like to compromise with comfort, so while acetate frames have been around long before, we wanted to make sure that our design held true to our DNA: a perfectly fitted frame with all those ingenious adjustment options, that makes LINDBERG, LINDBERG.

By integrating our trademark material – flexible and strong titanium – with the lightest acetate, the distinctive acetanium collection was born.

The reinforcement of the nose bridge makes it possible to match any curvature of the lens, and elongates into the LINDBERG nose pads, which means these acetate frames won’t slide down your nose.

Titanium temples available in various lengths help hold the frame perfectly in place, and because of an advanced mounting technique, also allow non-visible adjustment of the temple inclination.

Just as titanium, acetate is a natural material composed by a concentration of more than 80% cotton fibers in a complex mix with wood pulp. This makes LINDBERG acetanium hypoallergenic and very skin-friendly.

Because of the texture and nature of acetate, it offers an incredible array of shapes and depth of colours, which come into their own when they are hand-finished in five polishing stages by our skilled craftsmen.

In recent years, the combination of acetate and titanium has entered several LINDBERG collections, and in our quest for innovation and improvement in terms of function, form and fashion, we are developing new synergetic connections between the two materials.

Coming in to select your next favourite pair of glasses should leave an impression of luxury from beginning to end, which is why long ago, we decided to start designing and manufacturing our own interior solutions.

We believe that design, most fundamentally, is about making things better. Originating from an architect’s mindset, it was only a matter of time before the meticulous attention to detail emerged into the sphere of interiors.

The no-compromise attitude permeates LINDBERG in every aspect. As our CEO, Henrik Lindberg, always says:

 “If you want to do something, do it 100%. And do as much as possible yourself, so you can commit to every detail.”

Consequently, as LINDBERG developed, he quickly realised that using an external supplier for the customised solutions we wanted to create wasn’t viable, so instead of having a cabinet maker as a partner, we asked them to become our colleagues. 

The aesthetic perspective of LINDBERG interior design solutions is a commitment to materials on a level that matches our choices for materials used in our eyewear collections. Tactile materials such as solid oak and browned steel are key elements, along with various aluminum pieces, and glass and leather details.

We aim for the most natural, neutral, and nearly simplistic expression. That way, we make sure that the minimalist eyewear designs displayed, always stand out.

The final touch is decorative lighting, which, with a carefully chosen intensity, resembles natural daylight, to give you the best circumstances to check out the colour of your next LINDBERG specs.

Nothing is left to chance in our pursuit of quality, and this is just another example of how we will go to great lengths to keep all processes in-house – from design to development to manufacture. That’s our obsession with perfection.

Colouring the groove of the lens makes a big difference no matter what colour you go for, or which frame you choose.

The extremely light and invisible feel of a rimless frame becomes slightly more visible, and with the many new playful shapes added to our collection recently, the groove colour feature truly comes into its own.

No matter if the groove matches the temples, compliments the frame or acts as a contrast, it always adds that little something extra. Even going for the clear colour gives your eyewear a more polished finish and a softer integration between the frame and the lens, while choosing a neutral colour in a clear frame completely changes the perception of its features.

Building on more than 20 years of experience, LINDBERG has developed a technique, which makes it possible for skilled opticians to lay the colour perfectly smooth in the groove. It requires a steady hand and a great feel for the material, to make sure the result is flawless.

The choice of colours and composition of the material have been finely adjusted through the years to give the best results. The palet of colours include metallic shades, which play well against our similar titanium options, and natural tones accentuating the complexion of the wearer.

Integrating this little extra something in your custom designed LINDBERGs, the combinations are virtually endless. So, what colour is your groove?

In a series of photos created with photographer Sam Zhu, the combinations of materials, delicate lines and vibrant colours are illustrated in creative compositions.

About the relationship between wearer and a LINDBERG frame, Voicer describes it as a secret code established in a shared understanding for how function meets the aesthetic.

"Only those who respect design, who pay great attention to detail and experience, will be excited ..."

Out of the many new styles introduced to the LINDBERG collection recently, Voicer particularly emphasises the models combining titanium and acetate with careful precision, ultra-fine, screwfree connections and subtle proportions.

Inspired by the art movement neo-plasticism, which dates back 100 years, we have designed a campaign with a classic LINDBERG touch. 

Altering the primary colours and using them in a variety of dimensions, the asymmetrical horizontal and vertical lines become apparent. The design allows ultimate customisation in the composition of elements, as each square is designed to connect with the others across their physical boundaries. A concept also recognised in our eyewear designs where any frame can be constructed with different components in different colours.

The combination of various geometric shapes that are just as characterised by what is not there; the gaps between them, resembles an effect also seen in the design of many of our newest models where cut-outs are a distinct feature. 

The result catches the eye at a distance as well as up close where details of different textures and materials appear.
