THE opti BOX AWARD 2023

THE opti BOX - A STEPPING STONE FOR YOUNG LABELS

CONGRATULATIONS: LARS Brillen WINS THE opti BOX AWARD 2023!

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

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

Every LARS frame is made 100 percent in Switzerland. By the time it reaches the customer, it has travelled an average of only 300 km.

„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
