OUR STORY · VELBURG, BAVARIA
One road.
One idea.
Your glasses.
b8 wasn’t born on a drawing board. It started with a visit to the optician.
SCROLL TO GET TO KNOW US“We could do that too.”
Sascha actually just needed new glasses. At the optician, he and Oli saw additively manufactured frames for the first time. The idea came at once: our own glasses, high quality, special and from the region.
The first attempts, however, were far from what we had imagined. We had to understand material, construction, surfaces and the fit of a pair of glasses from scratch. Every attempt led to a better one.
THE NAME IS NO COINCIDENCE
The connection was always there.
Sascha is from Velburg, Oli from Undorf. On the way to school in Parsberg, the B8 federal road connected their home towns and later their idea, too. Today our models carry the names of places along this road and in its surroundings.
PERSONAL SINCE 2023
Oli & Sascha.
For a long time Oli had wanted to build something of his own alongside his job. Sascha shared his passion for design and technology. Today Oli looks after direct contact with opticians. Sascha works on b8 behind the scenes. Raphael and our designer bring their perspectives to the team.
We develop in Velburg, produce with a partner in Bavaria and finish every frame by hand in Velburg. That keeps distances short and us close to the product.
WHAT DRIVES US
We want to make glasses you’ll love wearing for a long time.
Light on the nose. Distinctive in expression. Carefully made and personally adjustable. No grand gesture, just a good product that keeps up with you every day.
