About Silhouette Eyewear
Founded in Austria in 1964, Silhouette has spent over five decades perfecting the art of lightweight eyewear. Their flagship Titan Minimal Art collection holds the record for the world's lightest rimless frame — engineered without screws or hinges, using pure titanium and flexible SPX polymer to deliver an almost weightless wearing experience.
Beyond their minimal rimless aesthetic, Silhouette offers a range of semi-rimless and full-frame styles that maintain the brand's commitment to comfort and precision. Each pair is hand-assembled in Austria with exceptional attention to quality and detail, making Silhouette a top choice for those who want sophisticated, barely-there eyewear.
