TEF Vintage Expo // Blast from the Past

A blast from the past, when it comes to the amazing eyewear on display as well as the antiquity of this event, which was created by TEF four years ago at 100% Optical. TEF didn’t even really have a website back then, so this event never really got shown online, but the frames that vintage eyewear collector Robbin Palmen brought with him at that event are just to breathtaking to not show to you guys!

First of all, we were so pleased with how MediaTen, the organisers of 100%optical, understood our concept and helped us to create this booth looking even better than our original renderings, and Optical Marketing Group for supplying their little three stands.

And of course, collector Robbin who flew in from Amsterdam (under massive insurance) along with just a small part of his collection, which was still hundreds of beautiful vintage frame designs that caught everyone’s attention at the show!
