HISTORY

The story begins with designer Claus Bellinger and his fascination of McLaren's carbon composite MP4-1 body, which rocked the Formula 1 World at Silverstone in 1981. The MP4-1 was the first full carbon Formula 1 body, designed as a molding, rather than the traditional series of flat aluminum panels mechanically fixed together. The reward for challenging conventional thinking was a gigantic leap in strength and sturdiness that would revolutionize racing car design. The characteristics of the carbon fiber and fiberglass composite are its unique woven surface – an unusual lightness combined with great strength.

This event became the starting point for a pioneering marathon that would end up with the first ever-seen carbon fiber frame launched by BLAC in 2008. We are proud to have developed the world's first adjustable carbon frame! One of the key features about BLAC is the adjustable temples! This is why we have been given a patent for the idea of implanting a metal core inside a carbon fiber lamination. In our case we use a titanium core, but the patent is for all metal.

BRAND DNA

This revolutionary designer eyewear is designed and handmade exclusively by our own production team in Bellinger House in Risskov, Denmark. Founder and co-owner Claus Bellinger and industrial designer Peter Wittrock, work with new materials, colors and shapes that can either enhance the carbon or add to the design. Keeping true to the BLAC concept, they design new shapes that are edgy, cool, minimalistic, and that exploit the advantages of the carbon fiber, aiming for a BLAC collection that fits and looks great.

The top secret, novel production process allows each BLAC frame to get special attention and craftsmanship, ensuring that each frame is unique. All frames are custom-made by hand for each individual customer, with hinges, screws and endtips that are tailor specifically for our BLAC frames.

All of the carbon fiber and fiberglass frames in the BLAC line are manufactured using only raw materials in the process. No lacquer is applied, allowing the raw surface of the woven carbon fiber and fiberglass fabrics to stand out.
