SODIUM Eyeglasses
Purposeful, reduced, and a little harder-edged — the optical proof that ic! berlin still thinks like an engineer.

Story & heritage
SODIUM is the optical companion to XENON in the anniversary narrative: Marcolin identifies it as one of the two innovative styles added to the six-frame Iconic Chrome capsule, and The Optical Journal later notes that it carried forward into the broader spring/summer 2026 launch.
That gives SODIUM a distinct role in the canon. Where Leif and Wanda restate heritage, SODIUM shows how ic! berlin wants its next chapter to look — cleaner, slightly more technical, and still rooted in the screwless steel logic the company has used since 1996.
Materials & craft
Official product details list a large-size metal frame with a 54 mm lens width, 21 mm bridge, and 145 mm temples. The Optical Journal adds the defining material notes: a rectangular stainless-steel front with double thickness, acetate temple tips in Transformative Teal, and the brand's unmistakable screwless hinge.
Those details matter because they explain why SODIUM looks firmer and more engineered than the older classics without becoming visually heavy.
How to choose & style
SODIUM suits people who want their optical frame to feel exact. The rectangular front reads intelligent and deliberate, especially with trim tailoring, dense knits, and workwear-adjacent outerwear.
It is less forgiving than Wanda but more striking for it: if you like your eyewear crisp, engineered, and slightly severe, this is the capsule frame to buy.
