Hall of Frames

Independent Designer Event Launches in Stuttgart

3rd August 2012  “We love glasses – we can honestly say that we are passionate about glasses, so in some ways, it’s a hobby for us,” says Dirk Geissmann (above left) and Nathanael Wenger, (right) organisers of Hall of Frames. “We started Hall of Frames five years ago in a designer hotel in Zurich. A year later, other brands wanted to join, so it grew quite fast.” Indeed, HOF has a waiting list to participate in the event, that takes place this year in Zurich on October 14th and 15th. Due to the success of the show, and the great interest from German companies, HOF is delighted to announce a Stuttgart show this autumn – to be held on October 21st and 22nd. In addition, The Hall of  Frames Newcomer Award will be launched – in partnership with Eyestylist.com – (watch this space for exciting details and more news!) – and the winner will be announced at the Stuttgart show.

To add even more interest to the event, Dirk and Nath have found unusual spaces for the exhibitors and their presentations. “A suitable location is very important to the success of HOF. In Zurich, HOF is in the Papiersaal, an historic industrial building surrounded by modern architecture. For Stuttgart, the location is great, completely dedicated to cars. The Meilenwerk is a hot spot for car fanatics. From antique models to modern cars, everything is on show. So our slogan for the event in Stuttgart could be cars and frames”!
