Since  designer Andreas Licht began to develop his first collection of optical frames some years ago, HERRLICHT has become a synonym for wood glasses. They combine design and craftsmanship with the qualities of the material in a unique way. In every HERRLICHT frame the individual grain of the wood is preserved much like the rings in a tree. By exploring the possibilities of the material Andreas Licht creates elaborate, beautiful frames. More information and images after the jump!

HERRLICHT wood frames consist of 100% wood. Each model is made from either maple, pear or walnut. With their individual shade and structure HERRLICHT glasses are in no way mass-produced. The material is light, warm and sensuous, the design sophisticated and timeless.

Customers can choose from a range of forms that, nonetheless, all possess the genuine character of a HERRLICHT wood frame. Fulfilling his high standards regarding the functionality of his products Andreas Licht has, from the beginning, created refined glasses that are nevertheless easy to handle. The special hinge system, closing the frame with a tiny brace formed like a four-pronged star, makes it even easier to change the lenses.


Part of the HERRLICHT collection is a beautiful case, too, naturally made of wood. Its cylindrical form opens like a seed vessel, in an elegant and fascinating way.
