MATERIALS
The frames of our glasses are made of non-allergic coloured plastic. Some models have the soft touch (rubber effect) finish or the flocked (velvet effect) finish. The metal collections have a protective coating against the release of nickel.
The frames are glazed with polycarbonate lenses suitable for helping with simple presbyopia in the following strengths: +1.00 +1.50 +2.00 +2.50 +3.00 +3.50
DOUBLEICE GLASSES CERTIFICATION
All our glasses are subjected to quality standard tests set by Certottica (Italian Institute for the Certification of Optical Products) which guarantees the conformity of the lens and the resistance of the frame, essential requirements for issuing the CE mark stamped on all our models. They conform to ISO 16034:2002 Standard.
DOUBLEICE SPA was established in 2005 by Raffaella Lizambri, an architect with worldwide experience in the fashion and industrial design fields, who has a passion for eyeglasses, of which she has an important collection.
In the ’80s Raffaella met Rinaldo, the son of Osalco Montalban, Italian air force fighter plane pilot and founder of the biggest Italian producer of eyeglass components.
And so technology merged with fashion and Raffaella married Rinaldo. Over time she noticed that the reading glasses people wore were always the same, a surprising trend in an area neglected by the big manufacturers. It was a territory to be explored in order to find new solutions and Raffaella produced her first collections inspired by her archives, a treasure chest of styles, eras and models.
Since then the female part of the Montalban family has been dedicated to Doubleice, a company run by women, now led by daughter Matilde, who encapsulates perfectly the past, present and future of an enterprise that boasts unique traditions and know-how.
