Markus Temming has brought something completely new to the optical world. His driving principle is to bring together the minimalist ideal of 'reduction to its essence' with state-of-the-art technology. Roughly translated from German, "This has been achieved when aesthetics, functionality and longevity sit in perfect harmony."

Manufactured in Gutersloh, Germany, all components of Markus T glasses are bound to one another without screws. A square hinge joint ensures long life and durability of the frames; developed in the mid-1990s, this hinge is the trademark of the Markus T collections.

Iris Optical first introduced Markus T frames in our London City UK store in June 2007. 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 E1 (City, close to Spitalfields Market) store.
