About Ricardo
Ricardo is an independent supplier that has been delivering Swedish-designed eyeglass frames at competitive prices since 1994. Our goal is to continue to fight for the independent optician to be able to compete with the big chains with both price and above all quality – always with good support.
Our Brands
Metro reflects the contemporary, inspired by our hometown, we have created a brand that stands out and helps customers find their expression.
With a strong dedication to diversity, our goal is for everyone to find a People frame that fits, both in style and price.
Peo/Sun is the sunny version of People, created as a complement but now standing on its own feet.
Classic timeless frames designed with Scandinavian design tradition. Its simplicity makes it easy to embrace no matter who you are.
Frames for Tweens. Young teenagers do not want children’s frames, and do not fit in adult frames. 5% of all sales go directly to the Friends foundation.
The French word for Secret Garden is “Jardin Secret”, an expression that describes your innermost room, where you go for rest, dreams and passion”.

The story behind the frames
Ricardo Nordica was founded in 1994 by two curious young entrepreneurs with big visions. As a kind of pioneers in the industry, the first frames were purchased from Asia. They were packed in a small cellar in Kungsbacka, and then sent out to their customers. The years passed and in 2001 one of the founders, Per Lundberg, became CEO of Ricardo Nordica. The company was now well established throughout the Nordic region with an experienced sales force, a creative and responsive purchasing team, dedicated support and a CEO who steered the company in the right direction.
In 2018 Ola Törnell was appointed as CEO, Ola has worked many years at Ricardo and was previously product manager. With clear goals, a digitization process, and focus on both product and brand development, the company has grown steadily since then.
Ricardo wants to offer the independent optician a security in both product and support, our divis has always been that we should make it easy, easy to be an independent optician.
