Lilienthal Berlin's Chillwave collection embraces a classic eyewear design, but it's been skillfully altered in so many ways that it's evolved into a truly distinct look: definitely not mainstream, yet undeniably elegant. With an experimental character and profoundly laid-back. Crafted with a slight touch of nostalgia but unmistakably tailored for the present moment.
The iconic retro style, characterized by circular lenses and a slim frame, has been accented with curved elements made from bio-acetate. The ultra-minimalist stainless steel frame is subtly adorned with fine lines along its outer edge. So, while the sunglasses are undoubtedly a bold choice, they primarily emphasize the wearer's face – because, after all, that's what truly matters.
The Chillwave is meticulously crafted by hand in Italy. The frame components are shaped by precision machines, then manually assembled and polished – ensuring top-notch quality. The glasses are also well-protected: the lenses are fortified with an anti-scratch coating.
Of course, sustainability isn't compromised either: the Chillwave is fully recyclable. And, in partnership with Climate Partner, Lilienthal Berlin offsets all emissions produced during manufacturing, earning the Chillwave the official title of "Climate-Neutral Product."
