Winners of the SILMO d’Or 2024

The SILMO d’Or awards, the ultimate accolade for the optics and eyewear sector, were presented to the winners from an impressive list of nominees!

Opchat’s editor was invited to be a member of the Jury at SILMO 2024 for the second year where he was confronted with around 40 products selected to be nominated for this year’s Silmo d’ Or awards.
And the Jury decided on the following winners:
Children
Lafont – “Roudoudou”
Lafont, a specialist in pediatric eyewear, presents its first model specifically designed for premature infants. Roudoudou has been developed specifically for premature babies, with dimensions and geometry adapted to their needs. The frame is injection-molded and made from a bio-based material derived from castor oil. The optical and morphological challenges of premature infants led us to start from scratch. The frame is intended to be worn permanently from the very first months.

Acuity is able to correct an extremely wide range of visual disorders, offering unprecedented clarity of vision without sacrificing weight or field of view.

CENSUR is the result of an internal design session where rules were set aside, allowing creativity to push the limits of traditional eyewear design. Born from free-flowing ideas and the playful exploration of geometrical shapes and clean lines, CENSUR is a testament to unbounded creativity. A thin sheet construction is cleverly seen throughout the design, adding depth and dimension to this sculptural eyewear. CENSUR proves that design doesn’t have to know any boundaries.
