ic! berlin x Barberini
Mineralic Lenses!
Love at first sight between
ic! berlin and Barberini
“It was a natural match, pushing the game of premium eyewear to a new level. ic! berlin’s precision-crafted, lightweight frames, rooted in Berlin’s industrial design ethos, pair seamlessly with Barberini’s Italian-made mineral glass lenses, renowned for their exceptional clarity and durability.”
– Davide Lunghi, General Manager of ic! berlin.
A story with a crystal-clear future
Whether stylish accessories or leisure companions, eyewear from this new ic! berlin collection is made with high-quality Barberini® lenses designed for everyday use.
The purity of ultra-clear glass and the innovative enhancement technology of the Barberini® lenses are based on rare earth chemistry to improve contrast and color perception by adjusting the color of the glass.
These optical properties ensure a superior outdoor experience, whether during a mountain adventure, a fishing trip, or other light sportive activities.
Quality that makes the difference
Three sporty styles feature mineral glass lenses from the “Leisure” line with Rare Earth Contrast Enhancement technology that offers a crystal-clear visual experience thanks to the extreme optical sharpness, minimal distortion, and definition of the highest quality.
Lens polarization reduces glare and improves visual comfort, while mineral glass treatments ensure high resistance to scratches and mechanical stress, offering long-lasting performance over time.
The collection is available in four refined lens options, addressing different visual needs and style preferences: Black Polarized, Green Polarized, Smoke Mirrored and Dark Brown Polarized.
Additional Models of the SS26 Collection
Complementing the Mineralic! capsule collection, the Spring/Summer 2026 launch includes a broader range of models across the core lines. Sodium and Xenon, both previously introduced as part of the 30 Years Anniversary collection, are joined by Argon with brushed metal rings. Fin as a soft aviator shape, Yui as a versatile panto frame, and Oke and Ila, which introduce thin acetate rings along with the Silk 2.5 hinge for the first time, add a new sense of lightness to the collection. In addition, the launch includes three new models each for the Mercedes-Benz and AMG collections, which will be presented separately.
COLLECTION OVERVIEW BARBERINI MINERALIC LENSES
Versatile, performance-driven and effortlessly sophisticated. Gamma extends the design language of the Alpha and Zeta family with a distinctly sporty and dynamic character. Defined by clean lines and a balanced, timeless shape, the frame combines functionality with a smart, contemporary attitude.
This iconic sporty design, winner of the Silmo d’Or 2011, returns with a refined update. The distinctive rough acetate surface is now paired with a polished finish on the reverse, creating a sophisticated contrast of texture and depth. The Mineralic! engraving adds its unmistakable imprint on the lenses, adding a subtle yet recognizable detail.
Introduced in 2025, this style quickly established itself as one of our best sellers. It completes the triad of sporty frames, designed for a man who embodies elegance, confidence and independence. Defined by a strong yet refined presence, it reflects a personality that moves to its own rhythm.
