Viennaline Vintage The brand Viennaline it was created by Wilhelm Anger in the 1950s as a subsidiary of Anger OHG, which had already been active for a decade in the production of protective glasses for welders and created acetate frames with a retro, elegant and unmistakable style between the 1960s and 1990s. The particular and colorful lines and already the vintage taste of the framesViennaline, were made famous thanks to the skill of designer Udo Proksch, also famous for having caused the explosion of a boat in 1977 to obtain insurance money and being imprisoned for life for the subsequent killing of 6 people. At the time, Vienna was considered a hot spot on the European map; its excellent reputation as a city of culture, music and art was added to its strategic position because it was close to the Soviet Union, and therefore a site of espionage and intrigue; this climate of mystery and adventure was a great launching pad for the brand's models. At the beginning of the 1950s, therefore, Anger and Proksch managed to transform an eyewear factory for workers into a production house of some of the most elegant and luxurious eyewear of the time. The Gigi models, of which around 15 million units have been sold, and the Alt-Wien are among the company's most popular. In this case, as in many in the history of fashion, it was the commercial campaign that made the difference: the posters in which the glassesViennaline appearing alongside dramatic images of showbiz dancers made the eyewear line very popular at the time. Another feature to consider typical of the glamorous style ofViennaline it is the Cat Eye, made famous by the company even before the American catchphrase broke out in the mid-1950s. The Cat Eye shape appeared timidly already in the first creations with light tips pointing upwards at the external corners and the thicker front part separated by a delicate bridge that avoided a marked mono-linear effect. As the years went by, the timid "cat's eye" shape transformed into the so-called "butterfly wing", which differed from the British and American models in force at the time in that it was less elongated and wider in order to dampen the tension formed by the tips of the noses. The front remained thicker than the rest of the frame but developed into a sinuous shape that was wider towards the outside and narrower and lower on the nose pad; a style device that produced a bold, flirty, but always elegant look perfect for women of the time. Even the house Viennaline, like many of the period, experimented with techniques and materials to design his frames. It was Wilhelm Anger, thanks to his research laboratory, who introduced Optyl: a plastic material that was strong and rigid enough to allow the use of metal supports, but which at the same time was lighter than Zyl. The same material was used in the revolutionary Carrera models, being Mr. Anger is also the founder of this brand. Udo Proksch was in fact also the chief designer of Carrera at the time, while for Vienna a Line he designed a particularly bold and futuristic line of sunglasses called "Serge Kirchhofer" which remained his official designer name to sign the creations of the Porsche Design models. The great elegance and sinuosity of the shapes Viennaline it was sometimes enriched with delicate decorations: silver filigree, small stones and metal details which sometimes resulted in baroque or more often referred to the delicate curves of art nouveu. The manner Viennaline, looking to the past, therefore managed to create a timeless style, whose refined references capture the synthesis of a glamorous trend with a retro taste of which these vintage models, representing one of the many facets of a great optical genius, are testimony to. The term “VINTAGE” derives from the French "l'age du vin", or the vintage of the wine, originally referring to the harvest of the finest wines, as the passage of time (aging) led the product to be richer, better and consequently more valuable. In fact, the main characteristic of the vintage style is to enhance not quantity, but quality. Likewise, eyewear defined as "vintage" is a product that has accumulated at least twenty years of life since its creation, more precisely, an object produced in the past that has acquired value and importance thanks to its qualities of elegance and unrepeatability. Precisely for this reason the vintage glasses that we offer have very high quality standards and are difficult to find elsewhere.
Scrolling through the list of brands that we market, you will discover their history, their technical characteristics and the belief that these brands have embraced over the years, resulting in the creation of objects that, unfortunately, we believe cannot be reproduced at the same quality level. In line with the vintage philosophy, our goal is to offer the customer an unrepeatable service by combining quality, uniqueness and enhancement of the products.
