Three iF Design Awards for Silhouette

The iF Design Award is presented by the independent iF Design Foundation in Germany and is one of the most prestigious design awards in the world. In 2026, an international jury of 129 independent experts evaluated more than 10,000 submissions from 68 countries. The three Silhouette collections came out on top in the product design category, underlining the brand's leading role in premium eyewear design.

Design excellence from Austria

Each of the award-winning collections embodies Silhouette's philosophy of combining innovation, lightness and emotional design.

The Refined transforms high-performance titanium into architecturally clear forms that combine precision, clarity and exceptional wearing comfort.

Pure Visionary sums up the brand's minimalist design DNA - ultra-thin titanium structures form flowing, almost weightless silhouettes.

The highlight of this year's award is Iconic Shades. Inspired by the self-confident design of the 1970s and the visionary aesthetics of Dora Demmel, the collection reinterprets geometric shapes - with modern lightness and sculptural clarity. Made from the innovative SilhoPure 3D print material, combined with titanium details and Austrian craftsmanship, the design impressed the jury with its unmistakable character and precision down to the smallest detail.

„This recognition from the iF Design Award is a strong endorsement of our design philosophy,“ says Roland Keplinger, Design Director at Silhouette. „Our aim is to develop eyewear that feels effortless and at the same time has a clear design identity - a combination of technological innovation and emotional impact.“

This success underlines the strength of Silhouette's design approach and the expertise of the teams behind each individual collection. At the same time, it reaffirms the brand's commitment to actively shaping the future of high-quality premium eyewear through innovation, craftsmanship and design excellence.
