read on, a Swiss reading glasses design company, has launched ‘read on light’ – ultra-thin, lightweight, and highly flexible reading glasses, made from a high-quality TR90 and available in colourful, contemporary eye-catching styles. At only three millimetres, the company claims ‘read on light’ is one of the thinnest reading glasses on the market.
read on the company, 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 prestigious 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’. “
Monika Fink, design artist and ‘read on’ co-founder, said the minimalist colour-blocked hard case was designed to be “easy to carry around and keep track of; the readers come in a selection of five, bright fashionable colours (red, violet, jade, blue, black and yellow) that have instant appeal”. A convenient, neck/shoulder strap accessory is available in matching colours. The strap features a silicone holder for ease of wear.
read on light glasses were launched at the MIDO fair, Milan in February 2024.
