What happens when Sukezane's "circle" concept meets Alain Mikli?

Sukezane, who has always been drawn to rounded forms, envisioned a "circle" that is "without sharp corners" and "ever-turning." This concept also connects to the beauty of Japanese harmony.

The Latest Eyewear: A Fantasy Journey to the Kingdom of Prince Sassoon

Alain Mikli's latest collection, the "Prince Sassoon Collection," incorporates technology, expertise, and craftsmanship into its design. Moving beyond his signature acetate, Mikli has focused on metal frames for this series.

Born in the Republic of Armenia, Alain Mikli encountered French animation illustrator Alban Gilmour and writer Yvon Bertorello during a journey tracing his roots. They were reportedly researching the legend of "Prince David Sassoon."

Reference product

Alain Mikli recalls, "We bonded over the idea for this collaboration while sharing Armenian coffee around a table." This led to the design of glasses that meticulously incorporate dynamic strokes, colors, details, and narrative.

The "Prince Sassoon Collection" frames feature elegant contours, captivating wearers with their skillful relief work, three-dimensional depth, delicate color palettes, and exceptional comfort.

Furthermore, the "NEW TITANIUM COLLECTION" merges Japan's renowned titanium processing technology with Alain Mikli's design. The integration of Amflex (patented spring hinge), developed for optimal comfort, results in enhanced lightness and an even more comfortable fit.
