Design History:
This silhouette revives the industrial-era mountaineering frames of the 1930s and 1940s—when functionality met elegance in eyewear. The metal top bar and keyhole bridge reflect a design lineage built for endurance, while the geometric lens shape hints at retro-futurism reimagined in the 1990s. A thoughtful blend of eras that still feels forward.
