Silhouette Eyewear
We’re proud to stock Silhouette – one of the world’s most celebrated eyewear brands, handcrafted in Austria since 1964. If you’ve ever wanted glasses that you genuinely forget you’re wearing, Silhouette is worth knowing about.
What makes Silhouette special?
Silhouette is famous for one thing above everything else: extraordinary lightness. Their iconic Titan Minimal Art frames weigh just 2 grams and are constructed without frames, screws or hinges Silhouette Group – an engineering achievement so impressive that NASA selected Silhouette for use by astronauts, citing the unique lightweight, hingeless temples and rimless titanium construction.
That same technology is available to you here in Muswell Hill.
The collections
Titan Minimal Art (TMA)
The frame that changed the industry. Worn by over 12 million people worldwide and the recipient of 18 design awards Silhouette Group, TMA is the purest expression of rimless eyewear – almost invisible on the face, yet exceptionally strong and durable.
Lite Spirit
A full-rim option that refuses to feel like one. Lightweight, beautifully proportioned, and available in a range of contemporary colours – ideal if you want the Silhouette feel with a little more frame presence.
SPX® Collection
Made from high-tech SPX®+ polymer, these frames combine durability and lightness with modern silhouettes Madeira Optical – a great choice if you prefer a more expressive style without sacrificing comfort.
Who are Silhouette frames suited to?
Silhouette works particularly well for people who:
- Wear their glasses all day and want something truly comfortable
- Prefer a minimal, understated look that doesn’t compete with their face
- Have an active lifestyle and need frames that are robust as well as light
- Want prescription lenses – including progressives – fitted to a premium frame
- Have sensitive skin, as titanium is hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant EuroOptica™
Handmade in Austria
Around 80% of the work that goes into each pair of metal Silhouette eyewear is done carefully by hand Silhouette Group – a level of craftsmanship that’s increasingly rare in modern manufacturing. Every pair is precision-engineered in their Linz factory, from raw material to finished frame.
