Orgreen Optics


Orgreen Optics is a Danish eyewear company based in Copenhagen. They are most commonly known for their colour combinations, Danish design and high quality titanium frames, due to their frames being handcrafted in Japanese factories[1][2]

History

Orgreen was founded in 1997 by Henrik Orgreen, Tobias Wandrup and Gregers Fastrup and was originally a sunglasses brand. In 2002 the brand launched their first collection of prescription frames and today, Orgreen produces both optical frames, sunglasses and snow goggles. The company has retailers in more than 50 countries worldwide with HQ situated in Copenhagen [1][2][3]

They currently have one flagship store located in Copenhagen, where customers will be able to buy the entire Orgreen collection along with other high end brands.[4][5][6]

Collabs

In 2011 Orgreen launched a special edition of the Arne Jacobsen Swan chair in collaboration with the furniture brand Republic of Fritz Hansen; named The Skyline Edition. The Swan chair, initially designed by the legendary Danish architect Arne Jacobsen in 1958, was restyled and given en new dynamic dimension by Orgreen featuring the embroidered Copenhagen skyline on the front.[7]

In 2014, Orgreen launched a limited edition collaboration with Danish menswear designer Asger Juel Larsen.[6][8]
