urban: evolution
urban landscape gains some texture
when the ic! berlin model ‘urban’ was released in 2008 it recieved the prestigious ‘golden silmo eyewear award’ at the silmo fair in paris. it has since become a classic, one of the most popular ic! berlin frames all over the world, and is almost synonymous with the brand.
in 2011, we are updating urban with three new luxury editions. these variants were inspired by the fashion industry, and reference textiles with their special textures. this texture has been soft engraved into the metal. up close, the textures ‘wicker’, ‘herringbone’ and ‘braid’ all recall the textures of finely woven fabrics.
