LINDBERG Introduces Exclusive Bog Oak Frames

LINDBERG has long been a pioneer in crafting exclusive and exquisite wood eyewear designs, giving us frames that never failed to amaze us. This time, the brand has raised the bar even higher. Enter LINDBERG’S Bog Oak glasses , a masterpiece born from one of nature’s rarest treasures. These frames are more than just glasses; they’re a fusion of history, craftsmanship, and luxury in its purest form. Made from a material as unique as it is remarkable, this collection is much in line with the brand’s design philosophy: one of a kind and beyond all expectations.

The story of LINDBERG’s Bog Oak glasses begins on the picturesque Danish island of Møn. Here, in 1950, an ancient oak log was unearthed, its origins traced back over 6,000 years . This outstanding piece of wood, preserved by the unique conditions of the bog, has undergone millennia of transformation. Its dense grain and deep, rich color result from the natural tannins in the oak reacting with the water and minerals in the bog. Who could have predicted that this log, quietly resting in the fen, wasn’t just lying there in vain but was destined to surface and evolve into stunning frames worn by the descendants of those who lived alongside it thousands of years ago?

Recognizing the potential of this incredible ancient material, LINDBERG meticulously developed a limited-edition collection of eyewear that pays homage to both its historical significance and its unique aesthetic. Each pair reflects the deep history embedded in the bog oak, showcasing the beauty shaped by thousands of years. By blending the raw magnificence of the wood with their innovative designs, LINDBERG has created frames that are both timeless and groundbreaking. They carry with them a story of survival—preserved under waterlogged conditions for countless centuries, enduring extreme pressure and environmental challenges. These glasses stand out as rare pieces of art, fusing ancient splendor of the oak with modern elegance that defines the brand.

• Durability and Resilience: Bog oak is exceptionally strong and dense, making it an ideal material for eyewear that stands the test of time. Its centuries-long preservation in the unique conditions of the bog has enhanced its structural integrity, creating a material that resists wear and tear like no other. This strength ensures that your glasses maintain their structure even with frequent use.
• Unique Appearance: The rich, dark hue and intricate wood grain patterns lend each frame an individual character, ensuring no two pairs are alike. Being submerged in mineral-rich waters for millennia, the oak has gained depth and texture no other piece of wood can offer nowadays. This uniqueness adds a layer of personalization, making each pair feel bespoke. The natural variations in texture and color create a timeless aesthetic that is both striking and elegant.

• Lightweight Comfort:Despite its density, bog oak remains surprisingly lightweight, allowing for glasses that are as comfortable as they are stylish. The long-term transformation within the bog creates a material that balances strength with a refined lightness. This ensures prolonged wear without discomfort or pressure on the nose and ears, making LINDBERG's new bog oak glasses an ideal choice for all-day use.
• Hypoallergenic Qualities: The natural properties of bog oak make it a great choice for individuals with sensitive skin. Thousands of years within the bog’s protective environment have resulted in a material with smooth surfaces and low reactivity. Its millennia-perfected finish reduces irritation, providing a gentle touch on the face. For those seeking both comfort and safety, LINDBERG's bog oak line is a perfect solution.
• Eco-Friendly Material: Using reclaimed ancient wood highlights LINDBERG’s commitment to sustainability and preserving natural resources. The bog’s natural preservation process means no additional processing is required to enhance its quality, reducing the environmental impact. By repurposing this rare material, the brand emphasizes environmentally conscious luxury. Each frame is a testament to thoughtful design that respects both history and the planet

The brilliance of the new line doesn't stop at the visual aesthetics, though. Here, LINDBERG's painstaking approach to streamlining and refining the tiniest elements the frame shines at its brightest. The hinges and temples, crafted from ultra-lightweight titanium , provide unmatched flexibility and strength, while their hypoallergenic properties enhance comfort. Adjustable nose pads ensure a tailored fit, offering both practicality and elegance. The bog oak’s natural grain is masterfully accentuated in every frame, creating a tactile experience that’s as satisfying as its visual appeal. From the overall structural integrity to the smallest detail, these glasses embody LINDBERG’s dedication to perfection in every aspect.
