Some glasses make a statement by being bold. LINDBERG does it by removing almost everything that isn’t necessary. The result is beautifully minimalist eyewear that’s exceptionally light, comfortable and unmistakably different.
At Farmilo Optometrist, we’re proud to stock LINDBERG eyewear in Leicester, with a carefully selected collection available to try in practice.
If you’ve never worn a LINDBERG frame before, the first thing you’ll probably notice isn’t how it looks.
It's how little it feels like you're wearing glasses at all.
A selection of LINDBERG frames from our display.
LINDBERG has built its reputation around a distinctly Danish approach to eyewear:
Less weight. Fewer unnecessary components. Exceptional materials. Beautiful engineering.
The brand grew from an idea developed by Danish optometrist Poul-Jørn Lindberg, who wanted to rethink conventional eyewear and create something lighter, more comfortable and more refined.
That philosophy remains at the heart of LINDBERG today.
Heavy glasses can become uncomfortable after hours of wear. LINDBERG approaches eyewear differently. By using materials such as premium titanium and removing unnecessary components, LINDBERG can create remarkably lightweight frames. Some of its rimless Spirit Titanium designs weigh as little as 1.9 grams.
The difference becomes particularly noticeable when you’re wearing your glasses from morning until night.
Glasses shouldn't just look good when you put them on. They should still feel good hours later.
Titanium is at the heart of many LINDBERG designs. There’s a good reason for that. Titanium combines several properties particularly suited to eyewear:
This allows LINDBERG to create frames that can be remarkably delicate and minimal while still providing the strength required for everyday eyewear.
For people who have found conventional metal frames heavy or uncomfortable, titanium can be particularly appealing.
Look closely at many LINDBERG frames and you’ll notice something missing.
Screws.
LINDBERG became famous for its innovative screwless hinge designs.
Rather than relying on a conventional hinge with tiny screws that can loosen over time, LINDBERG developed ingenious titanium constructions that remove unnecessary components.
The iconic spiral hinge used in the air titanium collections has become one of the most recognisable details in modern eyewear design.
It’s a perfect example of the LINDBERG philosophy:
If something doesn't need to be there, remove it.
One of the biggest advantages of LINDBERG isn’t immediately obvious when you look at the display. It’s the level of personalisation available. LINDBERG uses a modular building system that allows many elements of your glasses to be selected individually.
Depending on the collection and model, we can consider:
LINDBERG states that its system offers more than one billion possible configurations. That means we’re not simply choosing a pair of glasses from a shelf. We can help create a LINDBERG that’s much more specifically suited to your face, your colouring and your style.
Lightness helps, but a comfortable pair of glasses also needs to fit properly. No two faces are exactly alike. The bridge needs to sit correctly. The temples need to be the appropriate length. The nose pads need to sit comfortably.
And the frame needs to remain stable without unnecessary pressure. LINDBERG offers different fitting components and highly adjustable titanium elements that allow us to refine the fit. That’s where professional dispensing matters. A beautiful frame is only truly successful when it fits beautifully too.
LINDBERG is ideal for people who want their eyewear to complement their face rather than dominate it. The design language is clean, understated and distinctly Scandinavian. There are no unnecessary logos or oversized decorative elements. Instead, the detail is in the engineering, materials and proportions.
From almost invisible rimless designs to stronger titanium and composite shapes, there’s a LINDBERG for people who want subtlety as well as those looking for something more distinctive.
If you want your glasses to be as discreet as possible, LINDBERG’s rimless collections are particularly special. Spirit Titanium represents LINDBERG minimalism at its purest. There is no conventional frame surrounding the lenses.
Instead, the temples and bridge are mounted directly to the lenses to create eyewear that’s exceptionally light and subtle. Some Spirit Titanium configurations weigh as little as 1.9 grams.
The lens shape itself can also become part of the design, allowing us to create a look that works with your facial features.
For someone who says:
LINDBERG Spirit is one of the first collections we’d suggest trying.
Rimless, rim and titanium designs.
Air Titanium Rim is one of LINDBERG’s most recognisable collections. It combines fine titanium wire with LINDBERG’s distinctive spiral hinge. The result is an exceptionally clean, lightweight full-rim frame.
It’s understated enough for someone wanting subtle eyewear but distinctive enough that people who know LINDBERG will recognise the design.
Thintanium takes titanium minimalism in another direction. LINDBERG developed an exceptionally thin titanium construction that allows the frames to be incredibly light while maintaining a full-frame appearance. Some Thintanium designs weigh as little as approximately 3.3 grams.
If you like the idea of LINDBERG’s lightweight engineering but want something with slightly more visual presence than a rimless frame, Thintanium is well worth trying.
Not everyone wants a completely metallic frame. The LINDBERG n.o.w. collection combines ultra-thin composite fronts with lightweight titanium temples.
This creates a softer appearance and opens up a wider choice of translucent and expressive colours while retaining the lightweight LINDBERG philosophy.
Some n.o.w. configurations weigh as little as 2.3 grams. It’s an excellent collection for someone who wants the comfort of LINDBERG with a little more colour and personality.
For those who want their glasses to have more presence, Strip Titanium uses thin strips of titanium to create stronger frame shapes while retaining LINDBERG’s characteristic lightness.
The result is clean and contemporary, but more noticeable than the delicate Air or Spirit collections. It demonstrates that lightweight eyewear doesn’t necessarily have to look invisible.
LINDBERG doesn’t need an oversized logo to tell people what it is. The quality is in the details. The hinge. The titanium. The weight. The fit. The finishing. And the simplicity of the design.
It’s eyewear for someone who appreciates engineering and craftsmanship rather than obvious branding.
Beautiful frames deserve the right lenses, and a proper fit.
Choosing a premium frame is only half of creating an exceptional pair of glasses. The lenses matter just as much. At Farmilo, we’ll consider your prescription, visual requirements and chosen LINDBERG frame before recommending appropriate lenses. Options can include:
For rimless LINDBERG frames in particular, lens material, thickness, shape and finishing become an important part of the overall appearance. We’ll consider the frame and lenses together, rather than treating them as two separate decisions.
LINDBERG offers an enormous amount of choice. But choice only becomes useful when somebody helps you navigate it. At Farmilo, we’ll help you consider:
We’ll then professionally fit and adjust your finished glasses when they arrive.
LINDBERG is particularly worth trying if you:
But specifications only tell you so much. The easiest way to understand LINDBERG is to put a pair on.
