The popular independent eyewear event, Hall of Frames (HOF), which is held annually in Lucerne, Switzerland, is back in September
Independent eyewear event, Hall of Frames will take place on 14th September at the Museum of Transport in Lucerne. Returning exhibitors include Coblens, Ørgreen Optics, Didier Voirol, J.F. Rey, Nirvan Javan, MOSCOT, ROLF and YOUMAWO, among others. Nikon will be supporting the event as its main partner. Dynoptic, Beck Optikhandel, Studio Arenas and Contedi will also contribute as partners. Known for its successful showcase of independent eyewear, by well established and young emerging creative eyewear labels, the event offers an attractive atmosphere for independent opticians that is relaxed, welcoming and ideal for networking, conversation and discovering new ideas. The organisers of the show put special emphasis on providing an authentic platform where discovering high-quality eyewear is both pleasurable and informative with plenty of inspirational design, sustainable collections, luxury editions, 3D printed frames and artisanal frames produced in exclusive materials.
Exhibiting for the first time is the French luxury brand, PONTET, one of the most desirable emerging luxury collections to come out of France for some time.

“The Hall of Frames is more than just a trade fair – it’s a statement for independent opticians. The large number of early sign-ups has proven that our industry is vibrant, creative, and open to fresh inspiration.” Nathanaël Wenger, founder and organiser of HOF
