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.
