Framing visionaries
Inspired by a story that has been told by many visionaries, a story taught to our scholars, and a story that unveiled our intrepid pioneers and astronomers. Akoni turned to the place where it all began. Where our sense of curiosity was born, and our drive to reach the boundary of human capability was discovered to be infinite.
Akoni’s resilient frames are designed for a lifetime of use. Beginning with the finest materials—including a uniquely lightweight and hypoallergenic ceramic used for nose pads as well as two key ingredients from Japan, Japanese Cellulose Acetate (Zyl) and titanium—and created with a single-minded dedication to quality and craft, at every stage Akoni makes clear its unwavering commitment to true excellence and its guiding belief in the singular importance of a well-designed frame.
Great design never needs to clamor for attention. That’s why Akoni frames avoid unnecessary logos and monograms—allowing the eye to focus instead on our sleek silhouettes and the many references to the type of finely crafted details traditionally associated with the world’s finest luxury accessories.
Deceptively elegant, close examination of every Akoni style reveals intricate and distinctive detailing that is the hallmark of the brand.Inspired by luxury wristwatches, writing instruments, and other precious heirlooms that are handed down from generation to generation, the Akoni collection incorporates the latest advances in materials, craftsmanship, and technology to ensure the recognizable presence of Akoni’s intelligent luxury DNA.
“Akoni rests on the twin pillars of intelligent design and honest luxury. Our goal is to accelerate the evolution of eyewear, by melding together the best in finesse and innovation. In every area—design, materials, finishes and functionality—we will always be the one pushing the envelope, to deliver the type of quality and design that our customers are searching for.”
