Trendsetting Creativity: neubau eyewear
A place where creativity is the driving force. Neubau is a neighborhood where modern design meets tradition and craftsmanship—it is the designers’ choice district in Vienna, Austria.
The neubau eyewear collection celebrates neighborhoods like these all around the world. Although neubau targets a millennial (Gen Y) customer, it also appeals to Gen C, a powerful new force in consumer culture that describes a consumer group that cares deeply about creation, curation, connection, and community. Gen C is not defined by age—it’s defined by attitude and mindset.
“[Neubau is] the first place I take friends on a visit to the city. At Museums-quartier... modern art and design meet imperial architecture. Shops, bars, and clubs coexist around the perfect outdoor hangout.”
