silhouette

Founded in 1964 by Anneliese and Arnold Schmied in Linz, Austria, Silhouette revolutionized the optical world by treating eyewear as a refined accessory rather than a mere visual aid. The family-owned brand is globally recognized for its pioneering approach to ultra-lightweight, minimalist design, most notably introducing the Titan Minimal Art collection in 1999—a screwless, hingeless titanium frame so weightless and secure it was certified for space travel.
