BALMAIN by AKONI – TITAN – SLV-BLU

ntent on ensuring that this frame design reflected the inherent gravity, strength, and power of a distinguished titan, Olivier Rousteing and AKONI GROUP’s design team melded the house’s familiar Balmain biker and rock styling with imposing architectural lines, drawn directly from the remarkable silhouette of the legendary Villa Balmain. That stunning structure, constructed by Pierre Balmain, is considered a mid-century masterpiece—and its unconventional spirit can be seen reflected in the Titan frame’s unique contrast between the curved front and the strict, straight temples, which intricately weave together the finest acetate and titanium from Japan. Pierre Balmain strongly believed that including architectural elements in his designs helped to set apart Balmain, making each creation timeless—and the Titan frame demonstrates the continuing strength of his belief.

Handmade in Japan.
