At Evershine Optical, we often get people asking for eyewear made of titanium materials. When we asked them why they wanted titanium frames, the most common reasons given are it’s light weight and it’s strong and won’t break easily. This is far from the truth as we have seen many people come in with broken titanium frames.

When we tell them it’s made of stainless steel, they immediately get the impression that it’s heavier than titanium frames. ic! berlin frames “are made of very flexible 0.5 mm thick stainless steel”

The reliability of extreme lightness and precise adjustment maximum comfort. ic! berlin glasses are virtually indestructible. individual parts can be reassembled within seconds. and if the metal frame should be bent once, the user can quickly bend it back to it’s original shape. Forms? Based on the unlimited freedom in design that spring steel provides, basically any form is possible.
