SOLARA

Built for looking at the light

Edge on

SOLARA is the widest frame in the 2024 eyewear set and the only one designed around reflection rather than absorption. The lenses are mirrored and graded, so instead of hiding the eye behind black they hand the sun back to it, what you see from the outside is the sky, not the wearer.

SOLARA turned three quarters, one lens catching the light and the arm sweeping back

The rims are deliberately heavy: a soft, rounded volume that wraps past the temple and holds the lens like a seal rather than a rim. That mass is what makes it read as equipment, closer to something you'd wear at altitude than to a fashion frame.

The inner face

One of the concept roster developed alongside NIGHTWING, MERCURY, FLUX and BS2, five frames exploring how much of a face a pair of glasses can take.
