A BELLINGER makes you feel great!

BELLINGER is owned by founders Malene and Claus Bellinger Diederichsen - both designers by profession. Their partnership is based the combining of opposites: the masculine and the feminine, colourful and eye-catching Mediterranean inspiration and Danish design, humour and seriousness, success and humility.


Malene and Claus are an exception in the eyewear industry, as neither of them are opticians, but draw their experience from work in a range of industries at home and abroad.

BELLINGER came to be in September 2003, and now sells its signature products in over 40 countries worldwide. BELLINGER produces two BELLINGER and KAMÆLEON collections annually, and is in rapid growth.


"We have a simple vision, which is to make people happy! We want to make a difference and put our heart and soul into everything we do and if we commit to something, we commit 110%. We love designing eyewear as it's fun and inspirational, and as long as we enjoy what we do, we'll be happy. We are very aware of our values at BELLINGER, where we have built a positive spirit with people in focus. We have a very flat corporate structure and encourage job satisfaction and team spirit. We want to continue to grow - but not at any price - as our heart has to be in it and we need to still enjoying doing it in 10 years time," states Claus Bellinger Diederichsen.

The design
Malene and Claus are responsible for every detail of the design process, from shaping the fronts to developing the colours and design of the spectacular cut-outs on the temples. BELLINGER is not your typical Danish design company, as it eschews the streamlined and minimalist, concentrating instead on taking pride in creating eyewear with a sense of fun and a twinkle in the eye.

"We create glasses with an edge, and I reckon that BELLINGER is the essence of new, innovative Danish design. We acknowledge the best of classic Danish design tradition, but our eyewear is stylish and funky! When we design a product, it's like starting to work on a painting. To our minds, BELLINGER glasses are a piece of art or architecture in everyday use - perched on your nose. Our primary sources of inspiration are an interest in and love of design, colour, shape and architecture. I love Verner Panton's designs from the 60s and 70s, but anything and everything can give me inspiration for new ideas. When we insist on creating eyewear which conforms to our own concept of design and fashion, it's a conscious choice we make. We're not afraid to go in new directions to create something which is really eye-catching and expressive. Our glasses must accentuate the wearer's personality and style - they must not be invisible!" says Claus Bellinger Diederichsen.

We also stock and supply frames from the following manufacturers:

TOM DAVIES TD, LINDBERG, PORSCHE DESIGN, PRADA, CHANEL, FLEXON, PAUL SMITH, OLIVER PEOPLES
