One more of our “recommended” collections this month from Danish eyewear company, Ørgreen – exploring mono-colour
Launched in 2025 to offer a new direction and a distinctive mono-colour approach, Nyhavn by Ørgreen Optics sees two new styles added into the collection, defined by their clean stainless-steel construction and minimalist palette. Rather than relying on traditional eyewear colours, the frames Seastripe and Tidal are offered in contemporary tones inspired by Copenhagen’s architecture, harbour fronts and the subtle colours shaped by time, weather and light. Above: model Seastripe combines stainless steel, paint, silicone components and multiple finishing processes, all of which react differently to colour
“From the beginning, we wanted NYHAVN to stand apart. Everything is reduced to a single colour expression. That simplicity gives the collection a clarity and confidence that has become central to its character.” Sahra Lysell – Senior Colour Designer at Ørgreen
The balance between simplicity, colour and contemporary design has helped the collection resonate with a broad audience, and particularly those who have a taste for clean design and modern expression – regardless of age.
The release of the two models into the Nyhavn collection this month will be followed by further releases at the Paris trade event, SILMO in September 2026.
As the collection evolves into an increasingly important one in the portfolio, the Danish company said: “What began as a bold exploration of colour and simplicity has become one of Ørgreen’s most distinctive collection concepts. As Nyhavn continues to grow, colour remains at the heart of its identity—quietly contemporary, unmistakably Copenhagen, and always designed to stand apart.” Find out more at www.orgreenoptics.com
