Design Award for "ROLF spectacles" for wooden glass "OLYMPIA"

With its outstanding and innovative design the Tyrolean glasses designer ROLF spectacles convinced with the model, "OLYMPIA" in one of the most renowned design competitions in the world. As part of the red dot award: product design 2010, ROLF was awarded the quality seal "red dot" for high design quality for the model "OLYMPIA" from a top-class expert jury. The special features of her glasses: a new and innovative hinge and a new lens-system.

The new joint’s high quality and functionality allow for easy and safe handling. Moreover it unites all the mechanical properties of a high-quality spectacle hinge: during opening and closing, an integrated mechanism prevents the temple from closing on its own and holds it in the right position. The hinge is screwless, maintenance-free and is made of consolidated wood – this material is used because for its hardness, stability and low weight. ROLF frames utilize the optimized lens-system which has several advantages. A special stitch, which goes through drilled holes, fixes the lens smoothly without warming and cutting. ROLF’s aesthetic standards do not allow for any defect in material or design and our manufacturing process ensures these standards are met. In addition, the closed frame design provides more stability.


The company is situated in the small Tyrolean village of Lechaschau, where the spectacles are hand-crafted and then shipped to destinations around the globe.

With loving attention to detail and bold use of innovative techniques, ROLF makes each frame a unique, one-of-a-kind, piece of eyewear.

ROLF was founded by Roland Wolf and Marija Iljazovic, who both apply their extensive experience and knowledge of various branches of the optometrist’s field to this project. ROLF‘s team also includes the founder‘s siblings, Christian Wolf, Martin Iljazovic and Bernhard Wolf who further contribute to the developmental process through their knowledge in technology, architecture and design.
