Monokel Eyewear

Monokel Eyewear is an independent unisex brand based in Stockholm, created out of a desire to offer simple and functional eyewear frames. The brand combines Scandinavian minimalist design with uncompromising craftsmanship, with each pair of glasses taking approximately three months to produce. With frames made from plant-based acetate and high-quality lenses from Carl Zeiss Vision, Monokel Eyewear offers timeless sunglasses for men and women that complement any style.

Origins and Design Philosophy

Monokel Eyewear was founded in Stockholm with a vision to create timeless eyewear that strikes a balance between classic elegance and a modern, functional aesthetic. The brand approaches eyewear with a unisex perspective, where clean lines, understated proportions, and carefully considered color combinations make the sunglasses versatile across genders and personal styles.

Plant-based acetate, optics, and craftsmanship

At the heart of Monokel Eyewear’s production is a meticulous approach to raw materials and precision in manufacturing:

Plant-based acetate: The frames are crafted from premium acetate made with organic, plant-based plasticizers. The material ensures high durability, a comfortable weight, and a soft, tactile surface against the skin.

Lenses from Carl Zeiss Vision: All sunglasses are equipped with high-quality lenses from the renowned optics specialist Carl Zeiss Vision, guaranteeing maximum UV protection and optimal clarity without optical distortion.

3-month production time: Each frame undergoes a slow and meticulous manufacturing process spanning approximately three months, during which manual grinding, polishing, and assembly ensure a finish in a class of its own.
