SILHOUETTE

Silhouette is one of the world’s leading premium eyewear brands, renowned since 1964 for innovation, lightweight design and precision craftsmanship made in Austria. Founded in Linz by Anneliese and Arnold Schmied, the family-owned company has evolved into an internationally recognised manufacturer of luxury eyewear and sunglasses. From the very beginning, Silhouette pursued the vision of transforming eyewear from a purely functional necessity into a sophisticated design object that combines exceptional comfort with timeless elegance. Today, Silhouette eyewear is worn in more than 100 countries and represents Austrian excellence in design and manufacturing. The brand is distinguished by its ultra-lightweight frames, minimalist aesthetics and innovative materials such as high-tech titanium and the proprietary SPX® material. Silhouette achieved global recognition with its iconic Titan Minimal Art collection, which revolutionised the eyewear industry in 1999. These rimless designs feature a screwless and hingeless construction, offering extraordinary comfort while weighing only a few grams. The combination of technical innovation, refined minimalism and exceptional engineering has established Silhouette as one of the world’s most respected names in premium eyewear. Silhouette’s commitment to innovation extends beyond eyewear design. Its frames have been worn on numerous NASA space missions, reflecting the brand’s reputation for lightweight performance, durability and technical excellence. While continuously advancing its collections through new technologies and contemporary aesthetics, Silhouette remains deeply rooted in Austrian craftsmanship and responsible production. The brand represents luxury eyewear, innovative optical design and timeless Austrian engineering with global prestige.
