Scandi sustainability on display

Opportunities for optical practice teams to get hands on with eyewear have been limited since the start of the pandemic. Selecting eyewear is a tangible experience for patients and practices, and one that has been missed. As international travel becomes less restricted, the possibility of speaking to numerous brands all under one roof is more of a reality than a pre-pandemic memory. Copenhagen Specs, in the Danish capital, offered the chance to feel the frame materials and get a true sense of the colours once again.

Near the picturesque waterfronts and charming cobbled streets of Copenhagen was Lokomotivværkstedet, the architecturally attractive venue for the two-day event. Occupying its light and vast hall space was 53 eyewear exhibitors that showcased more than 85 brands. A total of 608 visitors from 16 different countries attended.
