read on, a Swiss reading glasses design company at the forefront of eyewear innovation, has announced the launch of its latest innovation: ‘read on light’ – ultra-thin, lightweight, flexible reading glasses, made of a quality, skin-friendly eyewear material (TR90). At only three millimetres, ‘read on light’ is described as one of the thinnest reading glasses on the market and offers the most colourful, contemporary eye-catching style – and practical, functional design.
‘read on’ was founded by Sandra Kaufmann and Monika Fink, eyewear innovators who established the fashionable Swiss eyewear brand ‘Sol Sol Ito’ and have won a number of design awards, including the German Design Award, the Good Design Award and most recently, the Red Dot Design Award. Three years ago, the team launched their first reading glasses product: slim, foldable reading glasses which fit neatly inside a smartphone case.
“read on light, our latest innovation, has been developed as the ultimate lightweight reading glasses product, with a fresh design, an ultra-convenient hard case and benefits such as skin-friendly materials,” said Sandra Kaufmann, industrial designer and co-founder of ‘read on’. “At Mido, where we have shown the product for the first time, the feedback we received was overwhelming. Opticians, distributors and eyewear enthusiasts from all over the world are very interested in ‘read on light’.”
