Black Glasses

Black glasses are one of the few eyewear styles that never go out of fashion. Their clear contrast, defined silhouette, and exceptional versatility make them a daily companion for anyone seeking a stylish, modern, yet understated look.
Black appears structured, confident, and precise – whether worn by women or men. At the same time, the color complements virtually every outfit and setting, from professional to casual to creative.

At VIU, we design black glasses with a focus that goes beyond style alone: we combine understated Swiss design with long-lasting materials, precise craftsmanship, and refined details that make the look timeless – and simultaneously fresh.

Every face is unique. That’s why the shape of a black frame plays a decisive role. At VIU, you’ll find models that highlight different personalities:

• Round: soft, harmonious, retro-inspired – ideal for more angular features
• Square: modern and clean, adds structure
• Oval: versatile and gentle, suitable for almost all face shapes
• Bold frames: expressive and confident

Because black is a neutral and defined color, each shape reveals its full effect. Whether a delicate metal frame or a bold acetate design – black glasses bring clarity to the face and highlight your best features.

The color black functions almost like a design principle in itself.
It shapes the face, frames the eyes, and creates a defined appearance that is often perceived as particularly modern.

Benefits of black glasses:

• match any outfit and personal style
• work equally well as women’s or men’s glasses
• can look professional, minimalistic, or expressive depending on the frame
• pair perfectly with a variety of lenses

Black is more than classic – it’s the color that transforms glasses into true design objects.

All VIU frames are designed in our Design Lab in Zurich, where clarity, functionality, and understated aesthetics come together.
Each frame is developed and repeatedly tested by a team of designers, creatives, and opticians before being approved for production.

What makes black VIU glasses special:

• precise, clean lines inspired by Swiss design
• well-balanced proportions
• reduced, timeless silhouettes
• frames that allow room for personality

Each year, up to 250 prototypes are created in the design lab – only a carefully curated selection becomes part of the final collection.

A black frame only looks elegant when the material is of high quality. This is why VIU collaborates exclusively with selected manufacturers in Italy, Japan, and South Korea.

Materials used:

• Acetate: durable, color-stable, warm on the skin
• Titanium: lightweight, flexible, premium
• Beta-titanium: extremely flexible, ultra-light, comfortable
• 3D-printed frames: innovative, matte, and featherlight

Thanks to meticulous craftsmanship, the black color remains rich, deep, and even – without fading or losing its refined surface.

A pair of black glasses only truly excels when the lenses meet the highest quality standards.
All VIU lenses are produced in Swiss and German manufacturing facilities.

Benefits include:

• precise correction (single vision or progressive)
• modern coatings for lasting clarity
• anti-reflective and protective finishes
• optional sun lenses, tints, or blue-light filters

This ensures your black glasses are not only stylish but also perfectly suited to your everyday needs.

Black glasses are among the few designs that work brilliantly across all genders.

For women, black appears:

• elegant
• either delicate or bold, depending on the frame
• timeless and refined

For men, black appears:

• modern
• structured and defined
• professional or fashion-forward

Whether in the office or in everyday life, black enhances the natural contours of the face.

At VIU, you can easily order your black glasses online: choose your model, enter your prescription, and your glasses will be crafted individually for you.

Ideal for online purchase:

• single-vision glasses
• reading glasses

Some lens types require a precise in-store measurement, such as:

• progressive lenses
• relax lenses
• workplace lenses
• prism corrections

For these options, you can simply book an appointment at a VIU store.

In every VIU store, experienced opticians help you find not just any black glasses – but your black glasses.

Our services include:

• professional eye tests
• style consultation for frame shape, color, and fit
• detailed lens recommendations
• precise adjustments and fitting
• cleaning and minor repairs

With real materials, a calm atmosphere, and a curated display of styles, VIU stores are designed to provide focus rather than overwhelm.

Timeless styles should also be long-lasting. That’s why VIU is committed to:

• durable, high-quality materials
• a transparent production process
• long-term partnerships with selected manufacturers
• innovative materials such as Acetate Renew (96% sustainable components)
• considerate design instead of fast trends
• repair culture instead of disposal culture
