ic! berlin // Sebastian Herkner Collaboration

What happens when world-renowned eyewear meets a world-renowned interior designer? Innovation, creativity, and newly crafted glasses. The innovative eyewear brand ic! berlin and Sebastian Herkner, designer of the year 2019, launch a joint capsule collection. Known as a designer for some of the world’s most recognized interior brands like Thonet and ClassiCon, this is the first time the German designer collaborates in the lifestyle and fashion world with eyewear manufacturer ic! berlin.

This perfect synergy is also excellently reflected in ic! berlin itself. The idea behind our joint collection was to showcase diversity and to create different styles, connected by an elegant and modern use of high-quality materials and unexpected surfaces.[/perfectpullquote]

Our friends at ic! berlin tapped into Maison & Objet’s 2019 Designer of the Year, Sebastian Herkner, to give you an even greater taste of Germany. Inspired by historical locations in Berlin, the capsule collection features four unisex models: two prescription frames and two sunglasses. Each available in three colorways.

The eyewear models of ic! berlin x Studio Sebastian Herkner Capsule Collection are named after iconic locations and buildings in Berlin, which for Mr. Herkner exemplify the German capital and its architectural diversity. Travel across Berlin with frames named after some of the city’s most iconic places: Bellevue, Dahlem, Avus, and Hansa. This collaboration also introduces for the first time ever an inverse hybrid, which is composed of an acetate base with metal German stainless steel accents.
