Ic Berlin Eyeglasses

ic Berlin eyeglasses are characterized by their patented, screwless hinges, and hand-manufactured frames. Each pair of frames designed since 1996 has been drawn, constructed, and handmade in Berlin, Germany, from premium materials including cold-rolled stainless steel and titanium. They stand out because, despite their minimal design and comprehensive engineering, each pair is merely a fraction of the weight compared to many other frames without sacrificing strength.

Additionally, ic Berlin has won the prestigious SILMO d'Or several times and the Japan Eyewear Award for their creations. Wearing a pair is like a pair for those who aren’t followers in life but leaders, not followers of the trends of this generation.

The best way you can be assured that you’re purchasing authentic ic Berlin frames is to buy them from an authorized dealer, or from the official ic Berlin website. Authorized dealers are vetted, trusted partners of the brand and stock authentic inventory. If ordering online, check for retailer credentials and branded paperwork. We also suggest checking the packaging, as well as engraved place markings and serial numbers on the frames. ic Berlin frames always have clear, defined brand engraving and place markings. If you purchase ic Berlin frames directly from us, you’re guaranteed 100% authenticity due to our trusted, reliable network and ongoing relationship with ic Berlin.

• Tip: Beware of unusually priced frames or sellers who provide little to no credentials, as they’re typically false or counterfeit frames.

ic Berlin frames range in the high end, pricewise, because each pair of frames is designed and handmade by master craftspeople in Berlin, using only the finest materials and proprietary manufacturing techniques. The screwless hinge, for example, is an ic Berlin exclusive and cannot be mass-produced. You’re receiving a masterpiece of German engineering and design each time you purchase a set of frames.

Unlike most fast-fashion frames, which break after years of wear and tear, ic Berlin’s selection of metals and materials has been meticulously planned and chosen for hard-wearing wear, as they’re both scratch- and heat-resistant and the frames can be bent to any degree and twisted back into their original shape. Also, when you purchase ic Berlin from our network, you’re gifted lifetime free adjustments and minor repairs after purchase, meaning your investment is taken care of for years to come.

ic Berlin frames are constructed from the most premium materials, including cold-rolled stainless steel, as well as titanium, acetate, and natural materials.

• Stainless steel: Recognized on both sides of the globe for its dependability and endurance, stainless steel frames are substantially lighter than other types of frames and perfect for everyday wear.
• Titanium: Even stronger than stainless steel frames, titanium frames are even lighter and (one of the only precious metals) non-corrosive - ideal for long, hard-wearing use (and peace of mind!)
• Acetate: Acetate is frequently used in ic Berlin frames due to its premium feel, versatility when dyed into a spectrum of colours, and sustainability.

Every material used in an ic Berlin frame was selected for hardwearing, dependable everyday use. While most frames only last a short amount of time, ic Berlin frames have a lifetime of usage ahead because of the innovative screwless hinge system.

Each material works together in tandem and harmony with one another. The temples have room for flexibility and standing with common flexing activities, which translates to no hinges that rub, grind, or pivot on the commonly found bolt, screw, and spring mechanisms. When enabled, the elementary, practical design is a tell-tale point of both lightness and durability.

Yes! Since ic Berlin draws and constructs its icon frames and designs, they offer well over 100 different frame styles and shapes across several collections to accommodate different face profiles, proportions, and personal styles. They range from modern conventional shapes to specialized designs and frames-sized frames.

One of the reasons ic Berlin frames stands out from the competition is because of their innovative customizable temples. Depending on personal preference, temple tips can be rather straight or curved (or both). Since they’ll always return to their original shape after bending, you can curve them right away and bend them back out later if the curve needs to be fixed. Additionally, the temple tips are also customizable to fit your face’s profile, meaning that you can find a template personalized to your facial features and comfort needs!

We recommend visiting an authorized retailer or a member of our team to be fitted by a professional so that you can select the appropriate size for your faces, such as bridge width, lens width, etc. During your fitting, we can also help you select a pair of frames and style that both fits and suits you and your wardrobe from day one!

Yes! ic Berlin frames were designed and executed for all-day wear and longevity due to the combination of screwless ic Berlin hinges and premium materials. There’s no pressure point like there is with constrictive glasses. Instead, ic Berlin frames work with you, not against you. Their lightweight construction - many frames weigh even less than 20 grams with frames and lenses - means your temples and head will never feel weighed down during the day.

Regardless of frame material, the frame weight is designed for long-lasting integrity when worn all day, thanks to the practical yet innovative design of a flexible temple. Because of their ultra-light weight (often fantasized as wearing nothing at all compared to other frames), many professionals in the workforce wear them for years, day in and day out, and are big fans of their screwless hinge design. The durability of their frames frames that provide a barely-there feel when worn, on the nose bridge and lenses, down the sides of the temple, and around the ears for the year. (Imagine LOW daily wear and tear on the frames and body - they’re perfect for unobtrusive eyewear!)

Our team offers a wide selection of specialized lenses, like computer lenses and progressive lenses, which can be added to any ic Berlin frame to make long hours even easier and will feel like a breeze!
