Akoni Peers Deeper into Space with Interlocking

From its inception, Akoni has been deeply inspired by the breathtaking beauty of celestial phenomena and the pull of peering into the enchanting depths of space. This fascination lies at the core of the Interlocking collection, fresh for Fall/Winter 2024 . Showcasing a groundbreaking blend of materials, the pristine clarity of lines, and the shimmering luxury of finishes, Akoni's latest collection presents bold, innovative designs that elevate each pair into a stunning work of engineered artistry.

All the way through Interlocking, Akoni demonstrates fresh approaches to fusing the sleek strength of titanium with the mesmerizing allure of acetate , resulting in frames that dazzle with their upscale appearance and tactile feel. Through layered structures and dramatic contrasts , the designs are enhanced by Akoni’s custom elements , carefully crafted for both visual appeal and practical function. These new glasses embody everything that defines Akoni, with exquisite detailing and striking examples of handcrafted artistry revealing more with every glance. Available as both eyeglasses and sunglasses, each pair carries a name that nods to its celestial origins, beckoning you to explore the unknown while staying effortlessly stylish in the here and now.

Echoing the moon's arc and the delicate balance of planetary motion, the Eclipse draws inspiration from the celestial choreography of a lunar eclipse. The side cups and nose bridge interlock with the metal frame in a fluid, almost cosmic alignment. Full titanium temple tips , a signature of Akoni’s refined aesthetic, add a polished touch that enhances the frame’s distinctive character. Capturing the ethereal elegance of heavens, the model brings this otherworldly charm into your daily wear.

Available in a range of thoughtfully curated colorways, the Eclipse invites you to explore and express your unique style. Distinctive contrasts between the lenses and the frame create a striking visual impact, while subtle tone-on-tone options offer a more understated elegance. With this equally powerful and soft design, Akoni once again brings the timeless and the contemporary into a harmonious, seamless fusion —a true reflection of the cosmic beauty it represents.

The Newton transforms the classic сlubmaster silhouette with a bold, modern edge that refuses to go unnoticed. Designed as a unisex staple, it blends traditional elegance with a confident, masculine undertone , making it a standout in any eyewear lineup. Thick acetate temples contrast sharply with the eye rims, crafted from solid titanium that’s unusually substantial for a frame of this style. Knurled lines pressed into the titanium and echoed in the acetate cores create a tactile, textured detail that elevates the design.

The model's unmissable personality is highlighted by a prominent acetate browline and sculpted temples, offering a fresh, intriguing appeal without sacrificing its commanding presence. The dual titanium nose bridge —an homage to the widely successful Akoni Copernico—underscores the frame’s architectural precision. For extra durability, the laminated temples are reinforced with a visible metal skeleton core , also providing an assertive visual impact. As reliable as it is striking, the Newton defies the gravity of fleeting trends, orbiting the intersection of engineering and art.

Inspired by the vastness of the cosmos, the Infinity immediately stands out with its innovative, futuristic design . This frame gracefully merges key elements from Akoni’s signature Skymapper and Solis models, delivering a fresh interpretation through an inventive fusion of materials . The front features a striking acetate construction paired with a unique split rim —titanium on one half and acetate on the other—accentuated by Akoni’s intricate detailing. Titanium side shields , extending both forward and backward, add a dynamic, sculptural quality , creating layers of visual intrigue. Geometric dot patterns run throughout, emphasizing the model's exploration of depth and dimension.

The Infinity is more than just a visual statement, though—it’s an engineering marvel. Designed to provide a tailored fit, its adjustable temples ensure optimal comfort for every face shape. The arms glide with effortless precision, thanks to Akoni’s expertly crafted hinge system that resists sticking or loosening. A true showcase of Japanese commitment to perfection, this frame illustrates how timelessness can, in fact, be the ultimate innovation.

• Precision Engineering: From the angles of the frames to the curve of the temples, Akoni ensures all parts fit together seamlessly and function effortlessly. Using ultraslim titanium and the finest Japanese acetate, these glasses offer exceptional durability without creating extra weight. The careful calibration of each element guarantees a whisper-light fit for lasting wear.

• Less is More Aesthetic: Clean, architectural lines define Akoni’s minimalist approach, highlighting the beauty of simplicity. Each frame is designed to draw attention subtly, offering a refined elegance that resonates without the need for excess. It’s the kind of luxury that dazzles softly—just take a closer look, and you’ll see its power.

• Mixed Materials: Masterfully blending contrasting materials, Akoni creates designs that are visually compelling and texturally diverse. Metallic sleekness meets smooth, velvety acetate. Soft finishes are lined with radical black accents. Vibrant lens tints splash against delicate shimmer. Dynamic and distinct from the ordinary, Akoni eyewear intrigues with every gaze.

• Layered Designs: Layering is a hallmark of Akoni’s design philosophy, adding depth and allure to each frame. Multiple materials are stacked or fused, creating a three-dimensional effect that enhances the overall silhouette. Not only does this approach elevate the visual complexity but also contributes to the structural integrity of the frame.

• Intricate Detailing: Knurled edges, engraved temples, and custom hinges are iconic to the brand's eyewear design, weaving a symphony of handcrafted splendor. They aren’t just decorative, though—they add strength, flexibility, and comfort. The result is eyewear where every feature has a purpose and a story to tell.
