Cubitts Launches First Collection of Rimless Frames

22 January, 2026: British spectacle maker, Cubitts is bringing rimless eyewear back into focus with the launch of its first ever rimless frames collection — refined, modern, and deliberately understated.

Stripping eyewear back to its essentials, the collection plays with near-invisible construction, ultra-light metalwork, and precise detailing to create frames that feel effortless yet intentional. Designed to frame the face without overpowering it, these are styles that work seamlessly across wardrobes.

Nodding to early 2000s aesthetics, rimless glasses capture the era’s obsession with sleek minimalism, futurism, and barely-there design. Popularised in the late ’90s and early 2000s, and now resurfacing on celebrities and runways alike, rimless frames signal a return to confident understatement, clean lines, exposed structure, and a focus on form rather than embellishment. This collection captures a look that feels both nostalgic and sharply contemporary.

"Our new collection is a celebration of materiality, design and the wearer. Rimless frames have been around for almost a century, and have often been the most pioneering format. They behave more like jewellery than a mask; premium materials used sparingly, clean geometry, and lens shapes that define the mood. Without a visible rim, the focus shifts to deliberate detail: the architecture of the titanium components, the lustre of the finish, the fit on the face, and the precision of the ZEISS lens itself. We're seeing a renewed appetite for pared-back silhouettes and geometric forms that nod to the early 2000s, while still feeling distinctly modern. For us, rimless is not less; it is the purest expression of design." - Tom Broughton, CEO, Cubitts
