The Austrian brand introduces a new creative addition to its design team: in early 2024, accomplished eyewear designer Michael Hueyng joined the Neubau Eyewear team. Partnering creatively with designer Gabriel Kirschner, they now form the dynamic design duo at the core of this independent eyewear brand.
Both designers have already made their mark in the lifestyle eyewear industry, producing pioneering collections, developing patented technologies, and earning recognition for their award-winning designs.
Kirschner, part of the team since 2020, has been shaping Neubau's design language from early on, securing honors. As part of the Neubau design duo, Michael Hueyng brings impressive 12-year portfolio of experience at renowned eyewear brands, as well as a deep understanding of design language and a fascination for minimalist aesthetics. His focus on holistic aesthetics and design language, especially in material use, will also be incorporated into the upcoming collections: "For me, functionality is also crucial to the success of a design. Ultimately, a design is made up of these two elements - aesthetics and functionality," says Hueyng. " I see Neubau as a fashion brand with a high level of technical sophistication. Together with Gabriel, we have the vision of taking Neubau to the next level, staying true to our roots and evolving the brand's identity.”
Kirschner and Hueyng are excited to lay the groundwork for an exhilarating phase in Neubau's creative development: "New developments in technologies also mean new dimensions in design," says Kirschner.
For company, the collaboration between the two designers promises to push the boundaries of design and crafting unique designs that seamlessly blend innovation and aesthetics.
