Ørgreen Optics Expands International Design Team For 2025
Ørgreen Optics, renowned for its innovative and premium eyewear, is stepping into the future with an expanded design team that blends some of Europe’s finest creative talents.
The newly formed team brings a diverse range of expertise, ensuring that Ørgreen remains at the forefront of the eyewear industry while pushing boundaries in design and innovation.
A Visionary Head of Design: Martin Guentert
Leading the charge is Martin Guentert (Germany), Ørgreen’s new Head of Design. With over 16 years of experience, including a prominent tenure as design lead at Mykita, Guentert is a pioneer in laser-sintering techniques and cutting-edge eyewear technology. His vision for Ørgreen is clear:
“I have joined to help make Ørgreen future-proof. It’s a great company, and we will continue to provide our clients with the reliable products they love. Furthermore, we’ll demonstrate even more innovation, utilizing our expertise in new markets and connecting more closely with our end consumers. It’s going to be a fun ride.”
Welcoming Senior Designer: Carola Nomden
Joining Guentert is Carola Nomden (Italy) as Senior Designer. Nomden brings a wealth of experience from her work with Safilo and Prada, where she honed her craft and developed a modern, cosmopolitan approach to sunglasses design. Her aesthetic aligns seamlessly with Ørgreen’s dedication to creating timeless yet forward-thinking eyewear.
The Colour Specialist: Sahra Lysell
Ørgreen’s signature sophisticated palette continues to be guided by the expertise of Sahra Lysell, the brand’s Colour Specialist. Lysell’s eye for color has been instrumental in defining Ørgreen’s distinctive aesthetic, ensuring every frame exudes elegance and harmony.
A Legacy of Expertise: Tobias Thomas
Long-time Ørgreen designer Tobias Thomas remains an integral part of the team, providing continuity and a wealth of experience to the evolving creative department.
Looking Ahead
This revitalized design team reflects Ørgreen’s commitment to innovation, creativity, and collaboration. By bringing together diverse talents and perspectives, the brand is poised to not only meet the challenges of the future but also redefine what eyewear can be.
Ørgreen Optics is more than just a brand—it’s a hub of creativity and a beacon of excellence in the global eyewear industry. With this team in place, the journey ahead promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.
Ørgreen is an international designer eyewear brand from Copenhagen in Denmark which makes premium eyewear using high-end materials. Known for its dynamic designs and technical precision, Ørgreen sculpts handmade frames with unique color combinations that last for a lifetime.
A little more than two decades ago, three friends from Copenhagen - Henrik Ørgreen, Gregers Fastrup and Sahra Lysell - started their own eyewear label, Ørgreen Optics.
Their aim? Design timeless-looking frames for quality-conscious people across the globe. It’s been a long journey since 1997, but a worthwhile one as the brand now enjoys international fame.
The company currently has its headquarters in the beautiful Ørgreen Studios in the heart of Copenhagen with a separate office in Berkley, California which runs operations for the North American market. Despite their ongoing growth, Ørgreen Optics still possesses an entrepreneurial culture, with determined and passionate people.
