Serge Kirchhofer was created by industrial magnate, design genius and ‘enfant terrible’ of eyewear, Udo Proksch, while he was working with Optyl in Austria.
Celebrated as a creative maverick, Proksch’s personal story was made into a documentary, titled Out of Control which portrays a catalogue of scandal, twisted genius and hedonistic opulence. His personal archive, which includes more than 6,000 eyewear designs and 1,000 prototypes, has been held in a private museum in Vienna.
Brando Eyewear, distributor of Serge Kirchhofer, acquired ownership of the archive in 2015.
