STYLE & DESIGN SIGNIFICANCE:

An authentic artifact of West German optical engineering, the Menrad MOD.391 showcases the sleek, utilitarian luxury of the late 1970s. The stand-out feature — a cutout floating bridge — reflects the industrial design values of the time, merging form and function. This sculpted aviator, with its structured lines and rare bridge architecture, remains as wearable as it is collectible. Outfitted with solid custom lavender lenses, it’s ready for the street, studio, or sun.

Comparable to frames by Neostyle, Swank, and SolarSpecs, this is a standout piece of precision vintage eyewear with a distinct identity.
