The winners of this year's Silmo d’Or awards were revealed at the optical trade show, which took place in Paris (6–9 October).
It was the 24th ceremony of the awards, which celebrates the leaders in the optical industry for their creativity and innovation.
Among the winners were Marchon in the trend category for optical frames, Essilor in the glass category for vision and Fleye Copenhagen, who took home the Premiere Classe award for its ‘Fox’ frame.
Founder and head of design for Fleye Copenhagen, Annete Esto, said: "We are investing a lot of time and effort in the whole process of creating every single frame – from the first inspiration, technical drawings, and innovative solutions to the creation of the overall aesthetics in product and marketing."
