ic! berlin steel frames are made from our special spring steel that we have improved over many years to maximize flexibility and strength.

it all began with hand cut aluminum glasses. in these frames, the basic idea behind the hinge could already be seen, even if they were fragile and sensitive.

- a pair of ic! berlin glasses is born!
we place an intense amount of value on the steel. the quality of this material determines the overall quality of the glasses.

we are honored...

ic! berlin is about contrast and sensibility.
without contrast, no sensuality and sense.

do you own a pair of ic! berlin frames? do you know there are SECRET MESSAGES encoded in your frames? did you know that ralph’s nose is actually a UNIVERSAL TRANSLATING MACHINE? here’s the scoop...

the first series of our well-known screwless hinge system glasses was produced in 1996. this series was offered for sale to the public in the “design-transfer galley” (berlin) during a launch party.

the imagination knows no boundaries with the ic! berlin fashion collection. glasses from this family are especially extroverted.

our target group includes all people who might be excited or delighted by our products.  this includes actors and actresses, business bosses, politicians and kings.
