"Less is More" – Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, design pioneer

Inspired by the aesthetic clarity of minimalist design and architecture comes Silhouette’s Dimension range of optical eyewear. This latest offering from the Austrian manufacturer defines straightforward, clean, practical and yet unmistakably stylish design with its rimless frame and hi-tech titanium componentry.

Lead Silhouette designer Gerhard Fuchs was drawn to the 21st century minimalist designs of contemporary architects like John Pawson, Eduardo Souto de Moura and Peter Zumthrow, all who used extensive glass and steel materials in their creations. The rimless, screwless, hingeless and weightless design creates an amazingly simple yet striking impact, much like the minimal creations from the leading lights of modern architecture.

The unisex Dimension range is a joy to observe: vertically arranged two-colour trim on the temples creates a refined and harmoniously soft play of colours. This is aligned with the pure, clean lines of the rimless lens, which itself provides limitless perspective and clarity. The soft synthetic tips rest snugly on the wearer’s head, ensuring perfect positioning and fit. The classically minimalist design ensures various face shapes and types are all taken into consideration.

The range comes in a variety of colours including Frosty Silver, Real Gold, Special Bronze, Deep Purple, Midnight and Pewter. For the most modern, yet classically simplistic and effective eyewear design that reemphasise the power of understatement, Silhouette’s Dimension range is the essential choice.
