Only the necessary remains

The Titan Minimal Art has no rim, no screws and no hinges. What remains is what holds the lens and what goes behind the ear - nothing in between.

Around eighty percent of the work on metal frames is done by hand. The Titan Minimal Art has won eighteen design awards for its appearance.

Worn in space as well

Since 2000 the Titan Minimal Art has been certified for spaceflight and has flown on more than seventy missions. The reason is not publicity but that it has no parts that can come away and drift around a cabin.
