SILMO Paris: Let’s Enjoy Real Contact Again

Last Thursday, April 29, the French government announced a plan to progressively release the country’s lock-down measures. This officially confirms what we have been anticipating: that trade fairs, conferences and exhibitions will be able to open.

Beginning on June 30th, there will be no maximal capacity for such events, as long as the health measures still in force are observed. The benefits of worldwide vaccination campaigns and their widespread acceleration, the loosening of international travel conditions, the establishment of a European health pass, and the obvious eagerness of professionals to reunite enable us today to confirm that SILMO Paris 2021 will take place.

“After two years without any major international assemblies, the reunion of optical and eyewear industry professionals will only be more intense. The whole team of SILMO Paris is hard at work to prepare this recovery edition, and we are looking forward to seeing you! We can’t wait to enjoy the delight of discovery, the opportunity for encounters and the conviviality of discussions. It is clear that all the technology in the world will never replace the power and emotion of a physical event…” Amélie Morel, Chairwoman of SILMO Paris

SILMO Paris will be held at Paris Nord Villepinte, September 24 to 27, 2021.

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.
