The first collection was presented in our own showroom in lucerne in 1997. Interest in it among other specialty shops grew steadily until we were able to open the götti office along the shores of lake zurich in 1998. Since taking this step, I have dedicated myself entirely to the development of götti Switzerland and our collection. Even after 14 years of dedication, I am still enthusiastic about this exciting work and continue to be astonished by what is possible when it comes to eyeglasses and people. I like to compare the creative process from the idea to new eyeglasses with the composing of new melodies. Even with a fixed number of notes, new songs are continuously being composed. I design eyeglasses like a composer - variations in shape are my notes and only the perfect form has the right sound. sven götti, designer
