EST. BERLIN

BORN IN BERLIN

THE STORY

We started TINT because the night deserved better.

TINT is a Berlin eyewear label making tiny tinted lenses for the hours after the timetable ends. Every frame is named for a place that kept us out late: Mitte, Spree, Tempelhof, Zwei Uhr. We cut acetate in small runs, tint every lens to one night curve, and photograph everything on the streets the frames are named after, one flash, no sets.

MATERIALS

CUT, TUMBLED, FINISHED

Five barrel steel hinges. Acetate with depth you can read. A monospace etch on the temple and nothing else. If a detail does not survive a night bus, it does not ship.
