Sabine Be Eyewear London Takeover Exhibition

Sabine Be Eyewear – London Takeover Exhibition at The Optical Gallery

18 April 2026 – Limited to 150 Tickets

Parisian creativity is coming to London… and it’s taking over The Optical Gallery.

We’re excited to announce our next major eyewear exhibition:
The Sabine Be Eyewear London Takeover, a one-day celebration of colour, individuality and expressive French design — happening on Saturday 18th April 2026 at our Twickenham gallery.

If you love eyewear, fashion, colour, and unique independent designers, this is an event you do not want to miss.

A One-Day Exhibition of the Full Sabine Be Collection

For the first time in London, we will be showcasing the entire Sabine Be Eyewear collection in one space — including beloved series such as:

  • Be Cat

  • Be Bossy

  • Be Clever

  • Be Fierce

  • Be Gaga

  • Be Gipsy

  • Be Mythic

  • And more…

Sabine Be is known worldwide for her expressive colour palettes, bold shapes and joyful, personality-driven designs. This exhibition is your chance to explore every model and colourway up close.

Worn by Icons

Sabine Be eyewear has long been a favourite among creatives, artists and fashion-forward personalities.
Recent wearers include Elton John, whose love for expressive, colourful eyewear is legendary, as well as filmmaker Spike Lee, known for his bold, statement-making frames.

Their shared appreciation for individuality and fearless design perfectly reflects the Sabine Be philosophy — eyewear that celebrates personality rather than hiding it.

This exhibition brings that same expressive world directly to London, giving you the chance to explore the collection worn by icons.

Meet Nik – Lens Artist & YouTuber

I’ll be in the gallery all day (Nik, if you’re new here — curator, lens artist and creator of The Optical Gallery’s YouTube channel).
I’ll be:

  • answering your eyewear & styling questions

  • helping match Sabine Be frames to your personality and wardrobe

  • guiding you through colour, shape, and fit

  • designing your custom lenses using the Marma Tint Lab

  • showing you how we create OG Lens Art combinations

Whether you want a vibrant everyday tint, Dinamica photochromics, a soft aesthetic wash or a creative custom look — we can design it together.

The Marma London Tint Lab – Live in the Gallery

This is always a crowd favourite.
You’ll be able to explore:

  • bespoke single tints

  • gradients & bi-gradients

  • Dinamica photochromics

  • OG Lens Art combinations

  • glamour coatings

  • and endless custom lens possibilities

Transform your Sabine Be frame into a true one-of-a-kind piece.
