Silhouette pays homage to it's famous Futura with the limited edition Futura Dot.

Thanks to its extraordinary design qualities, Silhouette’s Futura Collection became a global bestseller when it first hit the scene back in 1973. With the launch of the limited edition Futura Dot, the company is showing that it still maintains the highest levels of creativity and craftsmanship that helped it make its name all those years ago. The Futura Dot Collection forms a bridge between the world of the 1970s and the future. Wearers of this design can embody the creative flair that underpinned Silhouette’s original success, while sporting a trendy, futuristic look. Futura Dot are the kind of sunglasses that everyone aspires to own, but only 1,964 pairs of this exclusive limited edition design will be available to buy. This number was chosen because it is the year the Austrian premium eyewear brand was founded.

Ultra-light, comfortable and unique
Futura Dot combines all the fantastic features of Silhouette’s rimless eyewear. The innovative polyamide shield, specially developed for Silhouette, offers ultra-lightweight comfort, while the delicate cut-outs in the cheek area create a truly head-turning look. The premium-quality titanium temples can be trimmed and adjusted to provide a perfect fit for each and every customer. Like any Silhouette sunglasses, all Futura Dot models are also available with prescription lenses. Each pair of Futura Dot glasses is unique, bearing its own serial number on the inside of the shield. To accentuate the exclusive character of the glasses, each pair comes with a certificate and a specially designed cleaning cloth.

Style and hand-craftsmanship, “Made in Austria”
Each pair of Futura Dot sunglasses is created almost exclusively by hand by Silhouette. This includes milling and coloring the distinctive signature dot and milling the edges of each model with the utmost care and precision. The special edition is available in four retro-inspired colors: Black and White, Olive Grove, Nostalgic Brown and Atlantic Blue.
