History

Three years of inspiration from Norwegian polar explorer heroes

In 2021, when we started the journey with Specula, our vision was clear - we wanted to create sunglasses that not only protected the eyes, but also carried the story of Norway's tireless polar heroes. Inspired by their courage and willingness to explore the most remote parts of our planet, we took on our own challenge: to create the world's best eyewear for an active lifestyle. Made by athletes - for athletes!

Our history is short, but our heritage is deep. We draw inspiration from legendary explorers such as Roald Amundsen, Fridtjof Nansen and Thor Heyerdahl. Their adventures and discoveries have been our guides, and their values ​​have been our compass. From the very beginning, we've committed to creating eyewear that not only reflects their courage, but also empowers people to embrace their inner adventurer.

Every pair of glasses we design and manufacture carries a touch of this heritage. From the ground-breaking polar research to the brave expeditions across the world's oceans, we have captured the essence of Norwegian polar heroes. Every detail, from the choice of materials to the design, has been carefully considered to honor their memory.

Since our inception, we have built a strong community culture around our brand, the Specula Collective. We've seen our sunglasses on adventures all over the world, worn by people who share our passion for exploration and togetherness. It's been amazing to see our customers share their own stories about how our sunglasses have become part of their own adventures.

But our journey is not over. As a young brand, we look forward to many more years of growth and challenges. We will continue to develop innovative products that meet the needs of our customers, while maintaining our commitment to quality and sustainability. Our brief history is just the beginning of our journey towards becoming a significant player in the sunglasses industry, and we are grateful that you are part of this journey with us.

Together we will continue to explore, inspire and celebrate the adventurers.
