Franz Ruzicka 326 21 – rare tortoiseshell sculptural eyewear, NOS
A true collectible gem from the vaults of European eyewear history — the Franz Ruzicka 326 21 is a rare vintage model handcrafted in Germany. This pair is in NOS condition (new old stock), with non-original lenses and no original case.
The tortoiseshell acetate frame features a sculptural double-bridge cutout design that blurs the line between eyewear and art object. The architectural inspiration is evident in the dynamic contours and the almost organic flow of the front - a signature trait of mid-century Austrian and German experimental design.
Franz Ruzicka, a lesser-known but highly respected designer from Central Europe, was known for his avant-garde approach to frame geometry and material contrast. While his name never became global, his pieces are now sought-after by collectors for their uncompromising style and rarity. This model, in particular, rarely surfaces on the vintage market.
Specifications:
Frame: Acetate, tortoiseshell color
Size: 120 mm front width / 140 mm temple length / 38 mm lens height
Shape: Oval with sculpted cutout bridge
Lenses: Non-original brown lenses
Made in: Germany

A striking example of Central European design minimalism with a twist — ideal for collectors or bold stylists who want something truly off the radar. One of those rare finds that only surfaces once in a while, if at all.
