Brand Doubleice- the history.

Established in 2005 by Raffaella Lizambi.

She was an architect with worldwide experience in the fashion and industrial design fields.

A passion for eyeglasses of which she has an important collection.

In the 80`s Raffaella met Rinaldo, the son of Osalco Montaban.

He was an Italian fighter plane pilot.

Founder of the biggest Italian producer of eyeglass components.

And so technology merged with fashion and Raffaella married Rinaldo.

Over the time it was noticed that the reading glasses worn were always the same.

She saw this as a surprising trend in an area neglected by the big manufacturers.

Because of this she saw it was a territory to be explored and set out in order to find new solutions.

Raffaella thus produced her first collections.

Inspired by her archives, a treasure chest of styles, eras and models emerged.

The female part of the Monalban family took over and as a result brand Doubleice was born.

This company run by women was now led by daughter Matilde because she had a vision for the future.

Because of this she encapsulated perfectly the past, present and future of an enterprise that boasts unique traditions and know how.

Fashion Reading Glasses

Fashion Reading Glasses should be a marriage of style and quality. As reading glasses are a necessity the designs often tend to be dull and boring.

We believe in making a luxury item out of a necessity and stamping them with modernity. Giorgio Armani famously said ” The difference between style and fashion is quality”.

Eye Eye Design believe that IZIPIZI Doubleice and Sempre Art have achieved this with their collection of fashion reading glasses. But what is the history behind fashion reading glasses….read on

History of Reading Glasses

The first reading glasses were invented by a monk called Salvino degli Armati in the middle ages.

These were rivet spectacles and must have been purgatory to wear.

The monks spent many hours a day writing and reading lengthy manuscripts, much like our modern day computer users.

The first sunglasses go back to the prehistoric times.

It is said that an Eskimo blinded by the sun`s reflection on the ice carved an aperture in a piece of bone and strapped it over his eyes.

Fashion reading glasses did not truly come to the fore until the 1960s.

“Fashion eye wear”was largely undefined and its creators could and would try anything.

In this era optical companies threw caution to the wind and designed amazing pieces.

Mass market brands such as Foster Grant, Opti-Ray and Samco set the tone for fashion reading glasses.

The market grew bigger than ever.

Foster Grant retained the Geer DuBois advertising agency to devise a campaign.

Ad Age magazine would cite this as one of the best of the 20th Century.

The ads featured popular celebrities such as Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, Julie Christie, Raquel Welch and others.

Moving forward into the early 2000’s off the shelf reading glasses became uninteresting affairs especially in the United Kingdom.

Where we began

In 2013 My wife Judith and I were on holiday in Siena in Italy and Judith purchased a pair of velvet fashion reading glasses.

No one was selling fashion reading glasses like these in the United Kingdom.

Our next task was to trace the supplier in Milan and to start a fashion reading glasses company.

Sunnyreaders Ltd was formed later that year.

We established our 2 websites Funkyreaders.co.uk and eyeeyedesign.com.

Our brands of fashion reading glasses are now sold across the world.

Ciao for now
