Each brand has its own history of birth and development, full of interesting events or funny moments. The history of the pioneering brand ic! berlin is entirely connected with Berlin – the city where the brand was born, thanks to which its name appeared and where all the amazing optical collections are produced to this day.
As the story goes, it all began in 1996, when three enterprising students, Philipp Haffmans, Harald Gottschling, and Ralph Anderl, invented the screwless hinge system and created a unique eyeglass design never seen before. The complete absence of screws, hinges, and glue for assembling glasses was exclusive and remains a unique feature of the ic! berlin optics.
The basic material for the manufacture of the first glasses was unpretentious – the lightest stainless steel from which the frames were made using the laser cutting technique. An unexpected look at the familiar is just one of the strengths of the brand. The use of technical innovation, the pursuit of excellence in detail, and the aesthetics of minimalism, as well as a professional approach both in the choice of first-rate materials and in the quality of workmanship, make the brand one of a kind and stand out from among the most innovative brands.
Ultra-light sunglasses made of sheet metal, titanium, or acetate are luxury products that are completely handcrafted one by one. Everyone who takes these glasses in their hands immediately feels their finest quality: unique design, amazing lightness, and flexibility leave no one indifferent. Besides practicality and functionality, ic! berlin showcases great aesthetic content. The minimalistic design looks very sophisticated and is marked by a wide range of different color options.
The company started off 2021 with a new exclusive Acetate collection, which complemented the existing metal Classics Collection with new classic shapes and fresh colors for men’s and women’s models. With this collection, the brand’s designers introduced new temples with acetate material that extends to the hinge. The highlight of the collection is the brutal Rough Cut glasses. Manufactured at the company’s factory in Germany, they have milling marks and are not polished to a high gloss for an authentic and industrial look.
