HISTORY
Silhouette was founded in 1964, by Arnold and Anneliese Schmied in Linz, Austria. The brand has since built a reputation for producing some of the world’s most refined and high-tech eyewear. Initially a maker of small parts for eyeglasses, Silhouette gradually began to produce their own frames in the late 1970s, starting with a simple yet elegant rimless model called the Futura. This iconic frame design propelled Silhouette into the international arena. In the early 1980s, the brand began to innovate with the use of high-tech materials such as titanium, which led to the creation of the Titan Minimal Art Collection in 1999, the lightest rimless eyeglasses in the world at that time.
This remarkable design, combined with Silhouette’s innovative production techniques, earned the brand a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. The manufacturer has since continued to push boundaries, developing a cutting-edge hinge-less design in 2003 called the SPX Illusion Eyewear. In 2014, the brand celebrated 50 years of revolutionary work in the industry. Today, Silhouette is a truly global label, selling innovative and luxury eyepieces to over 100 countries around the world. It is renowned for its commitment to innovation, impeccable craftsmanship, and unparalleled attention to detail – making it a true industry leader and a favorite among discerning eyewear enthusiasts.

Among the most popular Silhouette collections is the Titan Minimal Art launched in 1999. It offers frames with minimalistic design and ultra-lightweight titanium construction.
