Brand New: Porsche Design Sunglasses

Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche designed a car that instantaneously catapulted him into the pinnacle of the design world. The Porsche 911 is an icon amongst sports cars. Porsche founded Studio F.A. Porsche, an independent studio for product design in 1972 - which we wrote about in our previous Porsche Design Brand Focus. His philosophy is still maintained by the Porsche Design team today: ‘If you analyze the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious’.

With function at its core, Porsche Design Eyewear remains at the forefront of technological advancements and style innovation. Constantly challenging the status quo, their mission is to break down boundaries in the eyewear industry.

Never following trends, instead creating them - you can see this determination and dedication in the new Porsche Design Sunglass Collection. This new collection features exclusive designs that are created with high-tech materials such as titanium, 18ct gold and mercury. Always providing the best in UV protection, each sunglass design combines masculine elegance, functionality and a sports-luxe feel to your eyewear collection.

This new striking design presents a new and more “engineered” take on the original, instead of the continuous shield, the 8693 sunglasses are a more hybrid design in cooperation aviator shaping. Staying true to the original design, they are still rimless with visible screws and stainless steel detailing holding the mirrored lenses in place. A minimalist frame designed for maximum impact.
With a similar inspiration to the 8693s, the Porsche Design 8694s is a take on that legendary Yoko Ono 8479 shield design. Only, these have been remodelled and constructed in a more masculine design for those with an active lifestyle. Lightweight, sporty and dynamic: the metal beams of this frame are connected by a technical screw on either temple.
