Unique Optical Boutique, Jewel in Vienna
1st May 2012 Centuries of history; Imperial families; the home to many famous musicians; fabulous winter balls; Lipizzaner horses; and Art Nouveau architecture are just a few of Vienna’s incredible treasures. I found another – just around the corner from the Stephansdom, Austria’s finest Gothic edifice – a gem of an eyewear boutique called Schau Schau. In this superb little shop, customers can select eyewear styles of their choice, which are then crafted by hand, just a few kilometers from the centre of Vienna. The creative force behind Schau Schau (German for Look Look) is owner and designer Peter Kozich, with his knowledge and understanding of colour and shape, and more importantly, translating the design process into a luxurious bespoke product. Schau Schau is the haute couture of eyewear – the acetate is beautiful and the colour selections amazing. Each frame is custom created – every detail from nose bridge size to the width of the temple to the ear is carefully measured – ensuring that each pair of glasses is one of a kind. Customers from all over the globe wear Schau Schau, including artists and entertainers, sporting figures and professionals. For the ultimate in bespoke sunglasses and ophthalmic frames, Schau Schau is a memorable eyewear experience for exquisite frames. www.schau-schau.at JG
