Silhouette

Iconic Eyewear Made in Austria since 1964

An Austrian Story Driven by Innovation

Silhouette is an Austrian eyewear brand founded in 1964 in Linz by Anneliese and Arnold Schmied. From the very beginning, the company pursued a clear goal: to redefine eyewear through extreme lightness, exceptional comfort and timeless design. This vision laid the foundations for a brand that would become a global reference in minimalist eyewear innovation.

Eyewear Reduced to Its Purest Form

Silhouette is internationally renowned for its rimless eyewear, where frames are reduced to their essential elements. By eliminating everything non-essential, the brand creates glasses that appear almost invisible on the face, allowing the wearer’s personality to remain the true focus.

Titan Minimal Art: An Icon of Design and Engineering

Launched in 1999, Titan Minimal Art marked a turning point in eyewear design. With no screws, hinges or rims, this collection embodies Silhouette’s philosophy of radical minimalism, technical mastery and unparalleled lightness. It remains one of the most iconic rimless eyewear concepts ever created.

Advanced Materials and Technical Excellence

Silhouette pioneered the use of high-tech materials such as titanium and SPX®+, a proprietary lightweight polymer developed in-house. These materials guarantee flexibility, durability and outstanding comfort, making Silhouette frames ideal for everyday wear without compromise.

Engineered for Ultimate Comfort

Every Silhouette frame is engineered to feel virtually weightless. Precise balance, ergonomic construction and meticulous craftsmanship result in eyewear that adapts naturally to the face, offering a sensation of freedom and ease throughout the day.

Innovation Trusted Beyond Earth

Silhouette’s commitment to innovation extends beyond our planet. The brand’s eyewear has been selected by NASA for use in space missions — a testament to its extreme lightness, reliability and technical performance under the most demanding conditions.

A Global Brand with Austrian Roots

While deeply rooted in Austrian craftsmanship and engineering culture, Silhouette has established a strong international presence. Its design language is universal: discreet, intelligent and focused on comfort rather than visual excess.

The Future of Eyewear: Invisible, Intelligent, Essential

Silhouette represents a vision of eyewear where technology and design work quietly in harmony. Ultra-light, unobtrusive and precisely engineered, Silhouette glasses redefine luxury as comfort, freedom and refined simplicity.
