ABOUT
The Silhouette glasses are a perfect combination of a trendy design and timeless elegance. Sleek minimalist styles and beautiful flowing lines are the hallmarks of Silhouette eyewear. Each pair of sunglasses is crafted using the latest eyewear technology. Not only are they exceptionally light, they also guarantee ultimate UV protection. The premium sunglasses feature the Silhouette Light Management® technology that protects the wearer’s eyes from harmful blue light in the 400 to 500 nanometer (nm) range. In its turn, the special coatings on the lenses such as Super AR coating minimizes reflections from entering the lens surface whilst maintaining visibility with no blurring effects.

Synonymous with top-quality craftsmanship, the brand creates outstanding eyeglasses that are extremely comfortable to wear and fit perfectly, every time.

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.
INNOVATIVE COLLECTIONS
Silhouette has produced a lot of exclusive eyewear collections over the years, with each range reflecting the brand's innovative design, commitment to excellence, and use of high-quality materials. 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. These rimless glasses have no screws, hinges, or rim and give the appearance of wearing nothing at all. Introduced in 2003 SPX Illusion Collection includes frames made from an innovative, high-performance plastic that offers maximum flexibility and comfort. They perfectly combine sleek, modernist style with a rugged, outdoorsy look.
Especially designed for those looking not just for a pair of glasses but rather for an understated masterpiece, the Silhouette Elegance Collection is the perfect choice! The range includes stunning eyewear designs with a modern minimalistic aesthetic, made in Austria using the finest materials. Each frame within the collection is finished with 23-karat gold for a look that is unmistakably Silhouette. The amazing mix of shimmering and matte surfaces results in a unique visual effect. The Atelier is another luxury series by Silhouette that offers one-of-a-kind glasses available in 18-karat solid gold with fine hand-set gemstones. These frames offer the best of both worlds: innovative technologies meet fine craftsmanship.
