"Throughline" 1980s Metzler Light Sunglasses

Metzler Oversized Gradient Sunglasses – Germany, 1980s
Soft power, sculpted in acetate.

A pristine example of 1980s Metzler craftsmanship, this oversized square frame blends utility and elegance. The softly beveled acetate in a warm chestnut swirl offers subtle dimension, while the original gradient lenses fade gently from espresso to clear—perfect for indoor/outdoor wear or high-low styling.

Known for engineering excellence, Metzler glasses were favored across Europe for their balance of form and function. This frame is no exception—timeless, tailored, and quietly commanding.
