WHITEOUT & GLARE

some facts

our name:

the name whiteout & glare stands for both cause and effect.
the first part of our name refers to a meteorological phenomenon in which high humidity combines with cold, leading to the formation of light-amplifying microcrystals and a uniform, direction less reflection of the air. glare, on the other hand, refers to glowing, blinding light or dazzling shine ... that is, a brightness which outshines everything.

our company philosophy 'form is function':

according to the company philosophy 'form is function' (with reference to 'form always follows function'), the particular focus is on an athletic, active target group which, along with fashion, also know how to appreciate the practical aspect of our spectacles.
what end customers really love about whiteout & glare spectacles is their unique look. there are mill ions of different glass shapes in the world, but that alone does not make spectacles into good spectacles. it is the overall appearance, the combination of colors, shapes and materials. the play of varying opaque and transparent materials runs through every product series.
all the parts used in our spectacles are developed in-house in terms of design and function. materials are selected and used according to their properties. thus, we find technical solutions, based on the idea of serving a purpose, which satisfy our own understanding of problem solVing. the mostly patented components we develop give opticians and end customers the feeling they are purchasing something beyond the ordinary. here, the focus is on the overall concept, but not the definition of the brand over a given material or hinge.
