About
Silhouette International has been creating innovative eyewear of the utmost precision and quality for 55 years. From its roots as a small start-up, it has grown into an international market leader in the premium segment of rimless glasses.
The success story began in 1964, when Anneliese and Arnold Schmied, armed with their vision and passion, founded the company and the Silhouette brand. The company started life with just five employees, along with designer Dora Demmel. Their vision: To create the most beautiful eyewear in the world and to establish a brand that would be synonymous with high quality.
This dedication to creating honest eyewear which delivers exactly what the wearer needs is an integral part of the brand’s iconic minimalism. You only have to pick up a pair of Silhouettes to experience the difference. No other glasses are as light or as comfortable as Silhouettes – you can hardly tell you’re wearing them. Titan Minimal Art is the most famous rimless eyewear in the world, whose introduction in 1999 revolutionized the global eyewear market. A pair of glasses weighing only 1.8 grams – with no frames, screws, or hinges. Light as a feather. A whole new level of comfort which to this day remains unrivaled by any other glasses.
The company’s 55-year tradition, combined with a sustainable approach, the utmost precision,an unwavering passion for craftsmanship and a commitment to its location in Austria, come together to guarantee premium eyewear that exceeds its customers’ exacting standards every day.
For connoisseurs of luxury frames, Silhouette has released the Atelier series of luxury frames. All models in the Silhouette Atelier collection are crafted in 18K yellow, white or rose gold and have either hand-polished or matte finish. The shine of carefully selected gems or exquisite inlays of special woods grown in certified reserves complete the exclusive look.
