The AKARI frame’s distinctive spirit builds directly upon the lessons of the master of modern Italian design, Gio Ponti who is perhaps best known today for one of the most important European skyscrapers: Milan’s Pirelli Tower. That impressive tower’s masculine, mid-century vibe and its elegant, tapered lines are clearly echoed in the Akari silhouette. Structural details are also celebrated in the Akari design, with the elevated and curved brow bar commanding attention as it floats above bold acetate rims. And, just as Ponti did, Akoni’s designers rely on just the perfect touch of embellishment, pressing intriguing pressed lines into titanium surfaces, and enhancing the familiar Akoni temples, with the brand’s tactile knurling surface decoration.
