Folding sunglasses

Sports goggles are wonderful: visual quality, protection from sun and wind... But they are also very bulky!

Brief

Starting from an extraordinary insight of this American customer of ours, we designed a range of Made in Italy sports glasses that can fold and fit in the front pocket of jeans.

Solution

We designed Popticals glasses to ensure portability and quality, allowing the wearer to experience adventure in style. The patent allows the curved lenses to be stored inside a small hard case. The brilliant folding mechanism imposed major design constraints, but we are pleased with the look of these innovative, colorful frames.
