New Eyewear from Skaga

“Scandinavian Eyewear’s Skaga brand has a deeply rooted heritage in Sweden that dates back to 1948, notes Midewest Lens. “Over the years, many distinguished Swedish designers have created glasses for Skaga, the most famous of whom were Sigvard Bernadotte, Carl-Anne Breger and Sighsten Herrgard. Today, the design legacy is still very much a part of the company and the aim of the team’s work is to create elegant Scandinavian designs with a contemporary feel – and to continue to write design history.” Read more.

New Eyewear from Skaga

"They have taken their inspiration from the northern regions of their beautiful country, Sweden," goes the Midwest Lens blog. "The Swedish wilderness. The bare and dramatic natural landscapes of the mountains, the deserted moors, the silence, the Northern Lights. Aasa and Addi frames are Skaga’s unique creations for spring. The women’s design has arms deco- rated with Sami tin thread work, while the men’s frames, Addi, have simple, stunning reindeer skin decoration. Genuine Swedish craftsmanship from Norrland which effectively underpins Skaga’s own values – authentic, Scandinavian and conscious." Read more.

Today, they are Carina Mollsjö, Anna Mälstad and Gustav Kristensson. Previously, they were Sigvard Bernadotte, Karl-Arne Breger, Sighsten Herrgård and Erik Ljunquist.
