Götti nabs UK ‘Frame of the year’

At this year’s Optician Awards in Birmingham, the DC05 sunglasses from the Götti Perspective collection received the 2018 Frame of the Year Award.

Götti’s rimless frames are minimalistic and elegant and also very progressive from a technical perspective using no glue, screws or soldering. Sven Götti, designer and owner, says at the heart of the frame is a polyamide connector the company has manufactured using 3D printing. The technique enables a stable connection between the lenses and the frame, while providing protection for the glass elements at the same time. Götti says he is very pleased with the award, honouring the long innovation process involved. “For me, rimless glasses are the most prestigious discipline in the design of glasses. Achieving the technical requirements with so few materials took over eight years of development.”
