The pioneer optician Poul-Journ Lindberg used to run his optician workshop along his wife in Aarhus, Denmark. Surely he was not supportive of the bulky frames that ruled over the market at that time. Poul-Journ was quite frustrated by this trend. And in his pursuit to create lightweight frames, he collaborated with architect Hans Dissing. This is how they invented a new product – ‘Air Titanium’ eyewear.

Air Titanium was a revolutionary product for Lindberg. Basically, it was this design that led them to launch and establish their own design house ‘Lindberg’ in 1984. The ‘Air Titanium’ product launched under the brand’s name was a world’s first of its kind.

After two years, in 1986, Lindberg launched the Air Titanium for the public, making the company popular. Since then, Lindberg has put Aarhus and Denmark on the map of top luxury eyewear.

The Era of Air Titanium

Known as Lindberg highly innovative product, Air Titanium changed the mainstream fashion of the time for eyewear. This was when trendy glasses were heavy, uncomfortable to wear, and came filled with screws and welded parts. Contrary to this, Air Titanium was introduced with a unique modular building system and pioneering work with titanium.

It was created with Poul-Journ and architect Hans Dissing’s collaboration that led on to win numerous prestigious design awards. This product was the world’s first rimless glasses made of titanium, and this design changed the eyewear industry completely. The history of Lindberg is diverse because of the revolution it bought in the industry. Undeniably the rimless frame provided the handiness in all likelihood. In addition to its classic design, the brand used a special type of titanium as the only material.

The first generation of the product required a high level of knowledge for the opticians. To fit lenses into the frames it was necessary to own great opticianry skills. But still, people loved these frames because they proved to be lightweight, flexible and strong. To be sure, innovation never ends. To demonstrate, to this date, designers and engineers are still working on how to master the titanium material. And that is still true for the Air Titanium collection. This is to make the design always new and more innovative.

The wearer can easily notice the hinge in Lindberg eyewear ‘Air Titanium’ collection. The brand intended to focus on function instead of hiding it in the frame’s interior. The engineers at Lindberg never used a single screw in the frames as they could easily fall out.

Lindberg ensures that the design they made is that which people can comfortably wear all day. The opticians of the company individually adjusted the glasses based on the shape of customers’ faces. Something that makes Lindberg truly unique is that they allow their customers to select their shapes and colours.

In an interview by VOGUE in 2020, Henrik Lindberg said that the company has been pioneering its innovative titanium frames for more than 35 years. Lindberg has reached new heights also with the contribution of Poul-Journ Lindberg. The latter never made a compromise in the choices of material they used for making each pair of glasses. He used to wear glasses himself but was unsatisfied with what they were offering.

Poul-Journ invested more time and money to create glasses that will be unique, something with a Danish touch that will provide all-day comfort to its customers. Henrik Lindberg assisted his father in his vision. And he continued the idea of delivering the eyewear with utmost perfection.

The fact that Lindberg is unique lies in its creation. Lindberg used titanium without resorting to welding from the very beginning. With the introduction of their latest collection, Lindberg promises to deliver absolute comfort, class and clarity in their eyewear.
