The Rebirth of Gail Spence Icons - ProDesign Denmark Re-Launches Legendary Frames
ProDesign is a Danish pioneering eyewear company founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 1973. Ever since the beginning, the brand has combined a thorough expertise in optics with a deep focus on design – creating progressive and visionary eyewear pieces. Nowadays, after nearly 50 years in the industry, ProDesign continues to produce dynamic and fresh concepts that combine visual expression and functionality while staying true to minimalistic Scandinavian design.
In 2023, ProDesign will mark their 50th anniversary. To celebrate it, the brand decided to redesign some of its most iconic eyewear models and launch a new capsule collection: ICONS. The first release in the ICONS series pays homage to Gail Spence and her legendary collaboration with ProDesign in 1987. Gail Spence launched iconic aluminum frames comprising a unique and distinct style that simply couldn’t go unnoticed. It was natural that ProDesign joined Gail in creating such a defining piece of eyewear. In 34 years, the brand adds new touches to original eyewear designs, making every icon sharper and more dramatic than ever.

The GAIL SPENCE series is represented by three styles with two of them being available in a sunglasses version. The frames are all distinguished by their bright colors – a vibrant palette beautifully combined with completely redesigned, grey-colored temples. They are thinner and crafted from premium-quality titanium to ensure superior flexibility, durability and lightness, all in one.

We decided to take a closer look at one of the Icons – the Gail Thirteen, the unique combination of artistry and minimalism. It is an opulent mix of two words: the Danish devotion to form and function and the expressive American mentality. The look is modern and retro at the same time. The frames feature a simple structure gathering all parts in the iconic cylinder hinge providing a refined, clean look that balances the many strong aluminum colors.
