The charismatic entrepreneur Ralph Anderl founded IC Berlin in 1997. Using an innovative screwless-spring-hinge-insert-system and acid-cut from ultra-light, ultra-thin sheet stainless steel, the frames created by his company offer something totally modern and totally different.

A constant stream of new design talent and immense pride in their in-house manufacturing techniques (their frames are made from scratch in Berlin, then hand-finished) has given spectacle wearers something special. To quote from Ralph himself, "IC Berlin is a platform for the realisation of exciting ideas, simplicity, clarity and brilliant ingenuity". Enough said.

Iris Optical began carrying IC Berlin glasses in February 2006. For customers outside of London England, these frames can also be ordered by phone. For customers in the UK, these frames are stocked in our London SE1 (Tower Bridge), Richmond TW9 and London E1 (City, close to Spitalfields Market) stores.
