„We traveled to opti to learn: we wanted to present our collection and get feedback on our patented hinge and our models. The fact that we received so much wonderful feedback on our collection over the three days, had many interesting conversations with potential customers, were able to discuss technical issues with other product designers and exchange ideas about the latest technologies – and even got to travel back to Bern with the opti BOX Award in our pocket, exceeds all our expectations!“

Silvia Nadenbousch and Simon Krähenbühl, Co-Founder LARS Brillen
