BERLIN NOIR · SERIES 01

SEE THE NIGHT

WHAT MAKES IT

CUT, NOT MOULDED

ACETATE, NOT PLASTIC

Block acetate, cut and polished rather than injection moulded. It softens to your temples over a fortnight and stays there.

FIVE BARREL HINGES

Steel, serviceable, and reset by us rather than replaced. The part most frames fail at is the part we over-build.

THE NIGHT CURVE

A category three tint cut flatter than a driving lens, so the city keeps its edges after the sun has gone.

THE NIGHT CURVE

DRAG THE CITY DARKER

One tint curve across every frame. Street lights stop shouting, signals stay sharp.

ON THE PLATFORM

WORD OF MOUTH

WHAT THE CITY SAYS

The Kreuzberg came out of the box heavier than I expected, in the way good things are. Two winters on the S-Bahn and the hinges are still tight.

Anneke VogtPrenzlauer Berg

I have a narrow face and pilot frames always slide. The Tegel sat right the first time, and the amber lens makes a grey afternoon look deliberate.

Milo KaufmannKreuzberg

Ordered the Nacht on a Thursday and wore them to a set on Saturday. Signals stay sharp after dark, which is the only review I care about.

CRAFT

ACETATE, TITANIUM, STEEL

Every frame is cut, tumbled and finished in the Berlin studio. Lenses are tinted to our own night curve, dark enough for the flash, honest enough for the platform lights.

INSIDE THE STUDIO

BEFORE YOU BUY

EVERYTHING ELSE

Berlin Noir runs narrow. The 136 to 141 mm fronts suit a medium face; if you wear a 138 mm frame elsewhere you are a MITTE. Acetate softens to your temples over the first fortnight and does not go back, so buy the fit you want in a month.
