Design story

The spectacles feature softly undulating lines and gentle asymmetry, designed to feel “more organic, as if shaped by natural forces”, says Stuart Wood, Executive Partner at Heatherwick Studio.

The collection includes resin frames in colours evocative of mist, amber stone, aquatic plants and volcanic rock.

Two titanium frames, in brushed and polished metal, have rippling surfaces that subtly reflect light.

Working closely with JINS’ eyewear specialists, the studio developed frames with a strong focus on comfort, balance and durability, alongside visual expression.

"Too often, frames feel generic and detached from the individuality of the face,” says Wood. “We wanted to create glasses that sit more naturally on each face, revealing character, and making every wearer feel a little more special.”
