Collaboration

VIU Eyewear | Closed

"Italian craftsmanship, transparent production, and the high standards for design and quality unite Closed and VIU."
Gordon Giers, Managing Director of Closed.

We share common values, passions, and goals: an ambitious outlook toward the future, a deep respect for design history, and an appreciation for high-quality standards. Through this collaboration, Closed and VIU fused their deep love for the finer details, their high demands for design and quality, and their strong passion for realizing bold ideas, resulting in two extraordinary sunglasses.

In THE IDEALISTE, stainless steel and colored cotton acetate share delicate attention. The created frame, THE OPTIMISTE, reflects the shared design vision and distinctive style of both brands, offering a sunny outlook on the world. Both models were available in classic brown tones as well as in colorful variations.

Closed is a German fashion brand founded in 1978, known for its combination of modern design, high quality, and craftsmanship. Originally starting as a denim label, Closed has evolved over the years into a comprehensive lifestyle brand, offering a wide range of clothing for both men and women, including jeans, jackets, shirts, sweaters, and accessories.

A hallmark of Closed is its attention to detail and focus on sustainable production. The brand places great emphasis on eco-friendly materials and ethical manufacturing processes. A significant portion of production takes place in Europe, particularly in Italy, to ensure that both the quality and working conditions meet high standards.

Closed combines a stylish aesthetic with a responsible approach to resources and people. The brand appeals to fashion-conscious individuals who value quality and durability as much as they appreciate clean, understated design.
