Crafted in Austria during the late 1980s to early 1990s, this original Silhouette MOD 1103 embodies the bold confidence of the era. A striking red front frame meets sleek black temples—each marked with the gold “S” insignia that defined Silhouette’s high-style collections of the time. Unlike their ultra-minimalist rimless styles, this design offers a full-bodied construction that was rarely produced by the brand and is now highly sought after.

Lightweight yet substantial, this frame represents a lesser-seen side of Silhouette’s history—one that leans into fashion-forward expression while maintaining the brand’s legacy of precision and craftsmanship.

Relevance

Silhouette is known worldwide for pioneering rimless eyewear, but collectors recognize that the brand’s foray into bold acetate and color-blocked styles during the ’80s and ’90s produced rare and standout designs. The MOD 1103 is a perfect example—stylish, lightweight, and unlike anything in today’s mainstream market. Deadstock Austrian models in colors like COL 5009 have become increasingly scarce, especially in unworn condition with updated optical-grade lenses.
