SILMO and copenhagen specs Join Forces to Promote Independent Eyewear

Friday, March 15 2019 | 10 h 17 min | News, Partnerships, Press Release

Silmo Association President, Amélie Morel, Silmo director at Comexposium, Eric Lenoir, and Morten Gammelmark, founder/CEO of the copenhagen specs fair concept have announced on February 23rd, 2019, the arrival of two new fairs within the Silmo family.

Launched in 2014 in the Danish capital, copenhagen specs’ goal is to highlight independent eyewear to independent opticians looking forward to offering their customers different products and therefore distinguish themselves from mainstream and mass-produced eyewear.

The sixth edition of copenhagen specs in Denmark just ended with good results: 77 exhibitors, 1076 visitors from 18 different countries.

From October 5th to 6th, Berlin will welcome the second edition of Copenhagen Specs in the German capital.

Together with the Silmo network, copenhagen specs, while its successful concept and unique atmosphere will remain as it is actually, will benefit from an enhanced visibility among eyewear trade fairs but more importantly, will be able to develop other destinations in Europe and around the world at a quicker pace.

A Shady Past: The History of Sunglasses

The earliest known sunglasses were crafted by the Inuit people by carving a slit into a piece of bone and fastening it tightly in front of their eyes using leather strapping. Soot and gunpowder were often rubbed onto the bone to further reduce reflections. This creation both shielded their eyes from the bright sun and the snow’s reflected light and sharpened their vision as they scanned the horizon during hunting.
