ic! Berlin

Book Appointment

Founded in 1996, ic! berlin makes the very finest, hand-made eyewear for people who dare to see the world through their own eyes.

Each eyewear piece is made by hand in Berlin.  Their frames are worn by the world’s curious, creative individuals. People who see and think with their own eyes–from entrepreneurs, architects, and musicians to artists, political leaders, and scientists.  Designs combine the original, no-screw hinge with stainless steel, titanium, synthetic, and natural materials. 

At DVC, we love ic! berlin for the feather-light frames with subtle, clean lines.  Each model utilizes a screw-less hinge, making the eyewear frames virtually indestructible.  Come by, see and try on the newest pieces in this collection.
