Made from a 6000-year-old oak trunk: Bog Oak special edition from LINDBERG
The Danish eyewear brand, known for its innovative designs and high-quality materials, is launching its Bog Oak special edition in December 2024. This limited collection, of which only 500 pieces will be produced worldwide, comprises four different models that embody both luxury and tradition.
The Bog Oak collection contains eyewear meticulously handcrafted from a 6000-year-old oak trunk discovered in Denmark. The dark color of the wood is the result of centuries of natural preservation in a bog.
LINDBERG combines this ancient material with modern design, supporting the fine wood with buffalo horn and titanium to create visually appealing and comfortable eyewear. Artisans select the finest wood sections, mill them precisely to highlight the unique grain and color, and incorporate multi-layered buffalo horn for added strength and aesthetics.
The process culminates in the addition of screwless titanium temples, known for their ultra-light weight and flexibility. Which results in eyewear that combines historical significance with modern technology. The four models in the collection - 1821, 1828, 1849 and 1854 - are contemporary classics.
The bog oak tree trunk, which was recovered in 1950 and checked for age by the National Museum of Denmark, was dried until 1973. Subsequent research and extensive C-14 dating tests by the National Museum of Denmark confirmed its age and historical significance. The rarity of this material and LINDBERG's innovative design make the collection one of the brand's most exclusive. Available in selected stores from December 2024, it offers the opportunity to own a piece of history in the form of luxury eyewear.
