2024, the young label SKANS won over the expert jury with its sustainable concept. SKANS not only impresses with the use of recycled metal in production without sacrificing functionality, but also commits to using 2% of its turnover for ecological and social initiatives.

The opti BOX AWARD was once again one of the highlights of opti 2024. The competition offers young labels from the frame sector the ideal platform to present their ideas and benefit from opti's international network.   

Together with media partner eyebizz, the expert jury honoured the best design innovation of the year among the participants live at opti.

LARS eyewear scored points with 3D printed frames that focus not only on timelessness but also on sustainability.

The target group is people for whom consumption is more than a quick satisfaction of needs and who value quality over quantity.

Every LARS frame is made 100% in Switzerland. By the time it reaches the customer, it has only traveled around 300 km on average.

Beate Leinz is a passionate eyewear designer and was the radiant winner of the 1st opti BOX AWARD at opti 2022! LEINZ Eyewear combines contrasting components to create an unusual yet harmonious design.
