Silhouette: The Brand That Redefined Lightweight Eyewear
Founded in 1964 by the Austrian husband and wife team Anneliese and Arnold Schmied, Silhouette has grown into the largest independent, family-owned business in the eyewear industry.
The couple had a vision that transformed the eyewear world as we know it: to create glasses that were more than just tools for enhanced vision. They dreamed of making eyewear that was equal parts functional, comfortable, and stylish. To say they succeeded is an understatement.
Silhouette found success by placing an emphasis on lightness, since so many frames felt (and still feel) bulky and uncomfortable. Their solution was prioritizing rimless designs crafted from titanium; one of the highest quality lightweight materials on the market.
For over 60 years, Silhouette has been releasing innovative, comfortable designs that don’t sacrifice style. The result is a loyal following of eyewear lovers and over 100 design awards, including the iF Design Award and Red Dot Design Award.
