He joined up with the architect Hans Dissing and designed what is known today the first AIR Titanium, the most durable and lightweight frame ever created. Now thousands of people have the opportunity to enjoy frames such as these. We proudly fit Lindberg frames to our customers everyday using Nidek lens egers.
