Astronaut Glasses

We’ve always strived to bring you the very best in eyewear, and today, I’m thrilled to share something truly special with you.

At Prouse & Co, we’ve recently introduced Silhouette frames to our collection and here is a little story on them…

They’re an Austrian company with a legacy stretching back to 1964, when they first reimagined what glasses could be—not just functional, but a statement of elegance.

What truly sets Silhouette apart is their reputation for innovation and quality. Did you know that Silhouette frames have been chosen by astronauts for use in space? When you’re floating in zero gravity, every gram counts, and Silhouette’s ultra-lightweight design proved to be the perfect choice. It’s not just their weight, though—their durability and bespoke fit make them ideal for environments where nothing but the best will do.

Here on Earth, Silhouette’s frames offer the same remarkable qualities. They’re designed to almost disappear when you wear them. You’ll barely feel them on your face, but their craftsmanship speaks volumes. Every frame is minimalistic yet sophisticated, and each one is handmade in Austria to exacting standards.

Silhouette also offers a level of personalisation that’s truly unique. Imagine choosing the perfect colour for the sides and pairing it with any lens shape that suits your style. Every element can be tailored to fit you perfectly, from the size to the exact curve of the bridge. These aren’t just glasses; they’re uniquely yours.

If you’re excited to see what Silhouette frames could look like on you, why not book an appointment to try them? We’d love to help you design your own bespoke pair and experience the innovation and elegance of Silhouette—the eyewear trusted by astronauts!
