Lindberg was established in 1986 by Poul-Jørn Lindberg, a Danish optician, and architect Hans Dissing who has changed the conventional ideas of eyeglasses since then. Based on Lindberg's to address the market's unmet need for comfortable frames that were heavier and uncomfortable, the company emerged in the market with a different product that was to change the way that men’s eyewear was viewed. Lindberg’s radical break from the traditional spectacles frames’ design was the ‘Air Titanium’. This innovative design also set the precedent for the use of titanium in fashioning eyewear, a material that had been employed solely in aviation until then. These Air Titanium frames featured screwless, rimless designs that were not only light as feathers but also almost bulletproof. It solved the long-standing problems that people associated with regular glasses: discomfort and a feeling of bulkiness, thus providing men with an opportunity to wear eyewear that was not only functional and comfortable but also non-intrusive and stylish.
Lindberg’s approach to the finest quality in its products can not be limited to materialistic considerations alone. The company’s unconventional distribution network where the company deals directly with optometrists and not through distributors means that every set of glasses will get the attention it deserves. This model has made it possible for Lindberg to employ stringent quality control and at the same time develop a line with the eye care professionals across the world. Over the years, Lindberg has not only broadened its horizons but has remained loyal to its principles of being creative, providing quality products, and remaining simple and elegant. Today, the brand offers elementary forms and various types of material and styles of eyeglasses that follow the same high standard as Lindberg products. From classic rimless designs to more contemporary full-rim options, each pair of Lindberg glasses is a testament to Danish design principles: clean lines, leveraging form for its function, and radical simplicity that is complemented by high-end finishes.
The company’s achievement of the highest quality work is evident from the fact that it operates in the global market and has received 112 awards for design excellence. These awards range from strictly Design, celebrating not only the look of the sunglasses but also the engineering technology and the fit on the face. From this string of acknowledgments by the design community, one can say that Lindberg is in the premier rank in eyewear innovation. Globalization’s influence is also seen in Lindberg's expanded international reach. Nowadays the brand has affiliations with more than 5000 companies and is operating in 135 different countries, which proves that the concept of Danish design has been successfully introduced to the global market. This global access helps ensure that men from all types of professions can get their hands on Lindberg’s better eyewear offerings.
For the thoughtful man who will not compromise on well-made stylish frames with sophisticated technology to boot, Lindberg is the answer. In essence, each pair of Lindberg glasses is a blend of style and functionality, which is intended for the face and the eyes. Since one of the virtues of the brand is its willingness to accommodate the customer’s individual preferences, one can expect that the frames will be made to measure strictly and suitable to the individual’s needs. Constantly evolving and striving for perfection, Lindberg has remained a bright and shining star. Its eyewear for men is still on a level that illustrates the level of optical design, which brings its wearer not only the utility tool of vision correction but also the art of using Danish craftsmanship and innovative masterpieces.
