ic! berlin x Mercedes-Benz Spring/Summer 2026 Eyewear Collection: German Innovation Redefines Modern Luxury

The collaboration between ic! berlin and Mercedes-Benz has been showcasing that outstanding engineering goes beyond cars for a number of seasons. Instead of creating glasses with a logo of the car manufacturer, they have been working on applying the unique Mercedes style into wearing products. The frames produced within the collection embody the philosophy of "Sensual Purity" of the luxurious car brand and stick to the quality of ic! berlin and its innovative lightweight glasses made in Germany. The Spring/Summer 2026 collection continues to promote the collaboration of two brands and brings new shapes and technologies that are inherent in the design of the latest models from Mercedes. This is the outcome of collaboration of the top car design engineering and the famous screwless spectacles production by ic! berlin that made this brand successful internationally. After some time of being a part of the Marcolin family since 2023, ic! berlin enlarges its presence all over the globe holding to the principal features.

A notable innovation of the Spring/Summer 2026 collection is that hybrid metal and acetate frames have appeared. While ic! berlin has mostly gained its fame by producing ultra-light stainless steel frames and inventing screwless hinge technology, the recent collection adds a new material done by mixing high-quality acetate with metal components that have been manufactured based on precise calculations. Such a solution allows people to see the depth of view and keep the feeling of lightness that ic! berlin is known for. The acetate front gives warmth and texture while the metal temples provide durability and flexibility along with a good technical design. The different finishes of the materials used in the collection refer to Mercedes-Benz automotive legacy. The engraved front part and artfully sculptured temples resemble the smooth design of luxurious automobiles.

Apart from style considerations, the focus remains on functionality in the ic! berlin x Mercedes-Benz collection. The brand's iconic screwless hinge system enables extraordinary durability while getting rid of one of the main points of failure associated with traditional spectacles. Thanks to an ultra-lightweight construction, the frames guarantee long-lasting comfort suitable for everyday use. Some eyeglasses styles are available as photochromic lenses that automatically adapt to changing light conditions. This high-tech lens solution allows wearers to change between indoor and outdoor locations with no risk of missing out any detail in their vision and the hassles of separate prescription sunglasses. The use of premium materials and practical innovations represents the philosophy that luxury items should be not only visually impressive but also practical.

Among the highlights of the SS2026 capsule collection is the launch of three brand-new eyewear styles, which show evidence of expansion in the shapes of sunglasses and eyeglasses. Each model captures the unique design style of the brand, while providing a new outlook on the principles of the collection. Color is another way in which the SS2026 line differs from previous collections. With two different variants of colors, the new capsule achieves a distinctive identity, tied to Mercedes-Benz design principles.The first tone is called Sea Pine, which is a beautiful green color, with subtle hints of blue in it. This means that the acetate frames have richness and depth, so they appear interesting and attractive. The second color - Verdesilber - represents the exclusive, unique Mercedes-Benz finish used on this grayish shade of silver. Verdesilber provides a fresh interpretation of metallic glasses while preserving luxury associated with the Mercedes-Benz. As such, consumers can appreciate all the beauty of these colors.

ic! berlin MB25 is a daring evolution of the square optical shape with a fusion of clean lines and some automotive details. The model is intended for those who have a sense of elegance. MB25 is a combination of a strong bridge, finely crafted front parts of the frame, and elegant temples that have lessons learned from the design of current Mercedes-Benz cars. The eyeglass frame is produced by ic! berlin based on the technological principle of lightweight and durable eyewear made for the daily use. What is important, the proportions suit all types of faces and the minimalist design leaves the option for the long-term and attractive model for different reasons.

For the Mercedes-Benz eyewear series, the MB26 gives new definition to their name thanks to a bold all-metal construction that combines precision with contemporary features. Completing the trilogy including the MB21 and MB22, this frame offers an elegant hexagonal design featuring a unique top bar that enriches its appearance. Made of an ultra-light stainless steel, the MB26 is very comfortable while remaining strong and long-lasting. The MB26 features straight lines, engraved elements and well-designed temples that reflect the Mercedes-Benz views on “Sensual Purity” having a glamorous look due to its modern design. This geometric model suits many face shapes to bring a functional design to its wearer.
