EYEWEAR IS LEANING into a more expressive, almost spiritual design language as wearers look for pieces that feel personal, symbolic, and maybe a little magical. Designers are experimenting with mind-expanding color, surreal silhouettes, natural crystals, and psychedelic layered materials to create hypnotic depth and illusion.
Maram Eyewear
The Cocles is a rounded sun style handcrafted in Costa Rica from 100% recycled plastic bottle caps. Swirling blues, greens, and amber tones create a fluid, almost hypnotic marbled acetate — each frame is a one of a kind. COCLES brings expressive color and grounded intention to the board.

Kuboraum
The Pop Grotesque F6 feels like a surreal distortion of classic eyewear. Warped acid yellow and black stripes ripple across sculpted acetate to create a hypnotic, almost illusion-like surface. The exaggerated silhouette and graphic contrast turns the eyewear into a bold expression of color, chaos, and playful rebellion.

Its engraved “Rigato” grosgrain texture is paired with cabochon opal accents, a 1.7mm natural diamond, and intentionally empty settings designed to resemble stones lost over time.
