Unique Eyewear Hinge Designs from Architect-Founded Brand

Lindberg frames are designed for "the sophisticated minimalist"

"Founded on Danish design principles," Lindberg is an eyewear brand formed by architect Henrik Lindberg and his father Poul-Jørn Lindberg, an optometrist. Since 1986 the brand has prided themselves on producing ultra-lightweight frames with a number of unique, patented hinges.

"You can always tell a LINDBERG frame by the iconic hinge designs," the brand writes. "The patented titanium hinges are made with no screws, rivets, or unnecessary elements."

"Lindberg eyewear is for the sophisticated minimalist, who puts impeccable design and quality above all else."

The company produces an almost bewildering array of rimless frames, half-frames and full-frames in both acetate and titanium. You can browse their collections here.

The original Lindberg-hinge (that spiral-like one) has become such a classic that it is quite often wrongly used in period movies and tv-shows. Eg in an episode of Agents of SHIELD photo's from the forties of an evil genius nazi scientist show a guy with which are clearly Lindberg framed glasses. Made me laugh…
BTW I have owned them, but have no use for them anymore b/c of Lasik.

Have been wearing Lindberg for decades. Absolutely love them. They feel like you're not wearing glasses. I've even had people ask "when did you start wearing glasses?" when they finally noticed.

Most of those look unique, but I'm having trouble believing they can patent a simple coil of wire.
