Lunor wooden cases - as much in demand as vintage Lunor spectacles themselves

At Lunor, the passion for detail and the claim of timeless perfection and functionality did not stop with the actual product. Lunor went one step further and produced beautifully elaborate cases from various types of wood which were coordinated with millimetre accuracy to their matching model of spectacles. These precious cases were an immediate unique selling point in the optical industry and quickly became sought-after collectors' pieces.

Today, the vintage Lunor wooden cases are harder to find than Lunor spectacles from the 1990s themselves.

Folding cases for telescopic glasses and Sliding cases for all other Lunor spectacles

Lunor developed two different types of case for its unique spectacles so as to establish the best possible symbiosis between the case and the glasses inside.

For the very small Lunor telescopic and folding glasses, there were equally small hinged cases that fit into any trouser pocket.
All other Lunor spectacles, including the models in the "II", "V", "X-Bridge", "Club", "Swing" and "Cigar" series, were supplied with a tailor-made pocket case.

Lunor cases from various woods and in different colours

As if the amount of work that went into the custom-made spectacle cases wasn't enough, Lunor also made the valuable wooden cases in various colours to cater to every taste.

The pocket cases in wood came in black, walnut and wenge. Walnut wood is one of the most previous European noble woods and is hugely popular because of its interesting appearance. The grey-brown colouring, with a reddish shimmer in some places, makes the wood highly decorative. Wenge is an African precious wood with a dark structure and is very tough and weather-proof.

The hinged cases were extended with yet another version in cherry. The yellow-white to yellow-red colouring of the cherry wood added the finishing touch to the range of Lunor wooden cases.

The different wood grain patterns make each case unique, epitomising complete individuality!

Custom-made case sizes that differ only by millimetres

As already mentioned, a custom-made case was created for each Lunor model. It is therefore accordingly difficult to find the right-sized case for pair of vintage Lunor glasses.

Essentially, both the sliding cases and the hinged cases were produced in four different sizes. These were sizes A, B, C and D.

Unfortunately, however, this categorisation is not enough to be able to safely say which vintage pair of Lunor glasses will fit into a sliding case of size A, for example - since the shape of the spectacles is what determines the right size of the case.

An example: all models in the "II" series have solid metal frames with a temple length of 138 mm. The metal frames, however, all differ in terms of their height. The Lunor "II 08" has a frame height of 27 mm and fits beautifully into a size A sliding case. The Lunor "II 03" is just 3 mm higher but will not fit into the same case.

Please ask us if you'd like to find the right Lunor wooden case!

The example illustrates that even small differences in the shape of the glasses can make a significant change to the size of case required. So we would like to ask anyone who is looking for a case to contact us before buying, so as to avoid any mistakes.

We are already trying to clearly point out in our product descriptions which Lunor model the wooden case being offered is for.
However unfortunately even we do not have all sizes in stock, since it has become exceedingly difficult to find these rare, vintage, original cases at all any more.

When in doubt, choose a larger alternative!

Essentially, we recommend going for a slightly larger case if you are not sure.

Alongside the legendary wooden cases, there are also exceptionally high-quality leather cases from Lunor. These are ideal for storing both the frame and the matching cleaning cloth. We are offering the leather cases in limited-edition gift boxes, but only while stocks last.
