Design History:
Luigi Colani was known as the godfather of “biodesign”—and these frames embody his philosophy to the core. The sweeping scroll temples and organic curves mimic nature’s own engineering, creating a pair of glasses that are part sculpture, part spectacle. Unlike anything produced before or since, Colani’s work redefined the boundaries between eyewear and art.

Fit Description: Best suited for medium faces. Lightweight yet sturdy, with temple arms that curve to cradle the head like a tailored piece of jewelry.
