Nexø is a dynamic, developing town. This is due not least to the many start-ups and entrepreneurs, but also to local residents who still believe in the uniqueness of Nexø. And it truly is unique. The town is perhaps best known for its speciality shops, one of which is Brillehûzet. Brillehûzet is what is known as an independent optician. They get to decide which spectacle frames and lenses they wish to sell, and they take pride in selling models that are not found anywhere else. The glasses at Brillehûzet come from all over the world and are carefully selected. The shop particularly sells products made by small companies, such as funky glasses from the Belgian company Theo, sustainable sunglasses from James Ay , or handmade glasses from MYKITA in Berlin. You’re sure to find a pair of glasses that will fit your look and personality.
Brillehûzet’s staff specialise in just about everything to do with vision: from difficulty seeing, dry eyes and vision training to fancy sunglasses. You are always welcome in the shop, even if all you need is to have a screw tightened or are looking to be inspired for your next glasses purchase. Even if you don’t wear glasses, there are other goods reason to drop by Brillehûzet, because it also sells jewellery and watches, hosts events and exhibits artwork.
Glasses are not just a piece of equipment that helps you see better. They also accentuate your personality. Some prefer neutral spectacles, while others prefer the truly remarkable kind. Brillehûzet’s staff are adept at finding glasses that actually enhance the look of the wearer. It can almost become a sport, which is why it comes as no surprise that Brillehûzet’s hashtag is #kjærlighedtilbriller (fondness for glasses). At Brillehûzet they’re fond of both glasses and people.
Brillehûzet is a shop out of the ordinary. It is run by an independent optician, so it is not confined to having to sell a specific product range. They sell the models they themselves feel are unique, and they take pride in featuring products not found anywhere else. The shop is fitted out with a blend of the latest technology, lovely pieces of old furniture and splendid colours. The shop exudes the wish to incorporate sustainability and quality into selecting glasses – and they are also happy to give old frames a new lease of life with new lenses. Brillehûzet is an optician in a league of its own – not just because it is independent, but because it actually puts its customers’ individual wishes and needs first.
