a modern masterpiece that captures the spirit of innovation, bold design and cutting-edge technology:

Make Me Shine by Leinz Eyewear

With its luminous translucent front and bold opaque temples and endpieces, “Make Me Shine” lives up to its name, delivering both festive elegance and cutting-edge craftsmanship.

The magic of “Make Me Shine” begins with its remarkable materials and techniques. Designer Beate Leinz weaves holiday wonder into every detail, employing two advanced 3D printing processes to craft this extraordinary frame. The front is created using a DLP-based technique, resulting in a translucent, acrylic resin component that gleams like frosted glass ornaments. Fully colored through, this innovative material ensures vibrant, lasting hues perfect for celebrating the season. Meanwhile, the temples and endpieces, produced with SLS printing, bring strength and durability to the frame, grounding the design like sturdy fir branches beneath twinkling lights.

Adding to its festive charm, “Make Me Shine” comes in seven beautiful color combinations, each pairing a translucent front with bold, opaque temples and endpieces. These thoughtfully chosen combinations create a harmonious interplay of tones, offering a palette for every personality and occasion—from subtle, wintry elegance to bright, celebratory hues that light up the room.

“Make Me Shine” is more than a name—it’s a promise fulfilled through its striking design. The frame’s precise plug-in system showcases the seamless interaction between the translucent front and opaque temples. This unique interplay creates the illusion of the temples breaking through the frame front, a bold design element that catches the light and the eye, making it an unmistakable standout in any eyewear collection.

Beyond its beauty, “Make Me Shine” embodies the spirit of giving back, with sustainability at the forefront of its creation. The DLP printing process minimizes waste by reusing leftover liquid resin for future frames, cutting the frame’s CO2 footprint by 90% compared to traditional acetate production. This eco-friendly approach, paired with the adaptability of small-batch production, ensures that “Make Me Shine” isn’t just a gift for you—it’s a gift for the planet.

This holiday season, “Make Me Shine” is the perfect companion for festive gatherings and quiet winter walks alike. Its luminous design captures the sparkle of holiday joy, while its eco-conscious production reflects the true spirit of Christmas—care for the world around us.

So, as the snow falls and the stars light up the night sky, let “Make Me Shine” be the frame that makes your holidays brighter. From the innovation of Leinz Eyewear to the celebration of individuality, this frame is a reminder that sometimes, the greatest gifts come in the most stunning packages.

Merry Christmas from Leinz Eyewear and TEFmag—where every frame is a shining star!

About Leinz Eyewear

Founded by Beate Leinz just four years ago, LEINZ Eyewear has quickly gained recognition for its innovative designs and bold material combinations. After 25 years designing for renowned fashion brands, Leinz launched her independent label, showcasing her personal design language that balances timeless elegance with futuristic innovation.

The brand’s breakthrough came in 2022, winning the Opti Box Award, where the jury praised its “quiet extravagance and unagitated courage.” This year, LEINZ was also nominated for the prestigious Silmo d’Or Award, solidifying its place in the world of independent eyewear.

The hallmark of LEINZ Eyewear is its innovative combination of materials. Early designs introduced the union of acetate fronts with 3D-printed polyamide temples and endpieces, a concept that redefined what eyewear could achieve in both form and function. These frames are not only visually striking but also incredibly lightweight, offering exceptional comfort and a precise fit.

LEINZ frames are defined by a unique plug-in system that creates the illusion of temples and endpieces breaking through the translucent acrylic fronts. This bold contrast of transparency and opacity gives each frame a distinctive recognition value.

With its quiet confidence, sustainable practices, and award-winning designs, LEINZ Eyewear offers a modern take on eyewear that’s as innovative as it is elegant.
