Description

The Stepper SI-97019 F018 is a lightweight premium rimless optical frame from Stepper’s German-engineered comfort eyewear collection, developed around the brand’s philosophy of ultra-light wearability, ergonomic balance, and understated minimalist styling. This model is designed primarily for users who prioritize long-term comfort, refined professional aesthetics, and pressure-free daily wear over bold fashion-oriented eyewear.

The SI-97019 features a soft rectangular rimless silhouette with clean geometric contours and a lightweight drill-mounted structure that creates a subtle floating-lens appearance. The rimless architecture minimizes both visual and physical weight while maintaining a modern and professional profile suitable for office, executive, and everyday use. The softly contoured rectangular geometry also helps balance facial proportions without appearing overly sharp or aggressive.

The “F018” color code is associated with a satin brown metallic finish, often described as a warm brown / bronze tone with understated earthy undertones. Compared to traditional black or silver rimless frames, the F018 finish offers a softer and more elegant appearance while preserving a highly professional identity.

Build & Materials

The SI-97019 F018 is primarily constructed using ultra-light titanium, one of the core materials within Stepper’s comfort-focused engineering philosophy. Titanium construction provides:

Extremely lightweight all-day wear comfort
Excellent structural durability with flexibility
Corrosion-resistant performance
Hypoallergenic properties suitable for sensitive skin
Reduced facial pressure during prolonged wear

The rimless drill-mounted construction further reduces total frame weight, contributing to a nearly weightless wearing experience. Some retailers list the frame weight around 5.2 grams, highlighting Stepper’s emphasis on ultra-light comfort engineering.

Design & Comfort Features

This model incorporates several ergonomic comfort-oriented details:

Rimless rectangular 3-piece compression frame structure
Adjustable silicone nose pads for personalized fit
Slim lightweight titanium skull temples
Balanced frame weight distribution for prolonged comfort
Minimalist German comfort-engineered styling
Flexible regular hinge construction for everyday durability

The SI-97019 is especially suitable for office environments, reading, and prolonged screen use due to its low-pressure ergonomic fit and ultra-light titanium structure.
