About Us
German-born eyewear designer Klaus Sebök, creator of the Klaus
Sebök Signature Line of original
eyewear, has made his home in Vancouver, BC, Canada for the past
forty years. He's worked tirelessly at bringing his customers
tasteful, hand-crafted eyewear since 1965.
In the world of fashion it used to be the shoes that made the man,
but a Vancouver designer is taking a new outlook on style. To Klaus
Sëbok eyeglass designer and owner of Vancouver's Granville EYELAND,
eyeglasses are the finishing touches of a wardrobe, the image of
the person. If eyes are truly the windows to the soul, why not
dress them accordingly? "Glasses are just like shoes," he
says. "You can't live with just one pair. They are as varied and
as delightful as the expressions of the face."
Sebök has been in the eyeglass industry for over 40 years, starting
as an apprentice in Germany. In order to get his certification he
had to demonstrate the ability to make a frame from scratch. "It
was the first time I had done something well," says Sebök. The rest
is history. Today, Granville EYELAND, located in Vancouver's artsy
Granville Island, sells up-to-the-minute frames to all types of
people. He calls the store the testing ground for designs of the
future and says he's inspired every time he sees new eyeglasses
uplift and brighten a person's personality. Fashion forward
individuals shop at EYELAND, according to Sebök. People with good
taste, who know what they want.
There's over 350 pairs of glasses to try on and an unlimited
potential in one-of-a-kind Sebök designs. There's the option of
rimless glasses, for the weightless, "I'm not wearing glasses"
look. Wedding glasses, with the lace of your dress laminated into
the frames. There's gold, silver, antique tortoise shell, African
water buffalo, and wood frame options, or there's the popular
titanium frame that's screwless and extremely flexible. Great for
kids. The sky is truly the limit on style, but not the price. All
you need is the freedom to stray from the norm, and voilà, a new
you!
You could call Granville EYELAND "the haute couture of the
spectacles industry". In Sebök's years in the eyeglass industry, he
has developed an international following. Customers from
Switzerland, Dallas, France, Japan, Australia and the Caribbean all
want Sebök originals.
Sebök's first customer at Eyeland was Robin Williams, who was in
town filming a movie when he came across the almost-wireless rims
he fashions today. Other famous customers include Elton John, Steve
Martin, Ed Asner, The Lover Boys and Vancouver's media
personalities, Pia Shandel, Alan Fotheringham and Doc Harris.
