Metropolitan. Urban. Living. – Urban heroes.

They buy clothes at vintage shops. They love their mother's old clutch-purse from the 50’or their pop's retro scarf. They are heroes of individual style, masterfully combining custom-tailored attire with old finds to create the perfect ensemble.

We meet them on the streets of the big city and add the final touch, the icing on the proverbial cake – a sleek and distinguished Metropolitan frame.

These new models are both old-school and cutting-edge, combining retro style with new plastics specifically designed for Metropolitan’s frames.

Metropolitan. Urban. Living.

Individuality. Character. Personality. Distinctive style.

They like going against the grain, they prefer the unique, and, above all, possess a strong sense of fashion. The esoteric is better than the trend and style is more important than brands. They are open to all things new and this defines them – the heroes of the big city!

We provide them with their latest accessory – glasses which look retro but are made out of the latest acetate. The Metropolitan collection now includes four new styles and three existing styles in new colours.

As always, various specialty materials havebeen used for the different styles which have been developed and manufactured especially for Metropolitan.
Be bold and show colour!

Metropolitan. Urban. Living. New glasses for the heroes of the big city.

On a sunny day, a gentle breeze blows, and it seems like the streets of New York, Paris and Milan have turned into the catwalk.

These urban heroes adore their granny bags and boots, hailing directly from the 1960s. A blend of flea-market chic and retro elegance is the hallmark of today's vintage street style.

We provide these trendsetters with their newest accessory: four new models to enhance the current Metropolitan collection.

Metropolitan has won the 2011 Red Dot Award for product design.

Red Dot, one of the most renowned international product competitions, has awarded the 2011 Red Dot seal of quality to Metropolitan by OWP.
Designers and companies from 60 countries entered 4,433 products in the product design category for this year's Red Dot award. Over 1,000 guests in the design industry, society and media celebrated the winners of this prestigious award.

Dr. Peter Zec, the initiator of the Red Dot design award, says of this honor: "As always, our jury cast a very careful eye over the products submitted. Design quality has asserted itself clearly in the judging process, with genuine and new creative solutions also being rewarded. Both of these criteria are not just yardsticks for good design, but also for the potential for success on the market. This potential is increased several times over by the targeted use of our renowned design award."

Our Metropolitan collection evokes urban design with cool, lightweight steel and sleek plastic. Influenced by modern architecture, Metropolitan frames are the new companions for the city spaces in which we live. As the pulse of time beats ever faster, the Metropolitan collection introduces our exclusive Quick Lock technology (patent pending). This new feature allows one-click glazing: elegant yet simple.

OWP is always looking for ways to reinvent the world in which we live -- this is what motivates us. Metropolitan was created for those who live life to the fullest; who do not need to ask what is beautiful, what is right, or what is high quality: they just know it.
