Some decades never lose their power. The 1970s, with its fearless shapes, architectural volumes, and unshakable confidence, continue to define what boldness looks like. Today, that spirit returns. Reimagined. Refined. And lighter than ever.
Silhouette’s new Iconic Shades collection channels the energy of that era and fuses it with the clarity, comfort, and precision of modern design. These are not frames that demand attention – they command it. Their presence is quiet yet unmistakable, defined by depth, sculpted light, and a confidence that doesn’t need to shout.
At the core of this collection is a name that shaped Silhouette’s design identity: Dora Dammel. In the 1970s, her fearless approach to proportion and volume set the tone for a new design language: expressive, architectural, and instantly recognizable. Today, her influence resonates stronger than ever. In tribute, the collection introduces four reimagined artifacts – DORA ONE to DORA FOUR – each a modern reinterpretation of her signature aesthetic. Bold geometry, softened by refined restraint. Design that honors the past while moving unmistakably forward.
The result is a collection that carries presence without heaviness. Each design translates Dora’s bold vocabulary into contemporary clarity. DORA ONE introduces a strong, architectural square defined by its distinctive low temple line.
