Design meets performance: Porsche Design rolls out new eyewear line

Porsche Design Eyewear Brand Ambassador Patrick Dempsey sports one of the latest models from the Carbon Fibre range for a lifestyle campaign

Porsche Design Eyewear has introduced new frames across its Carbon Fibre, Liquid Titanium and Cyber Tec collections, which are available online and at key travel retail locations.

In the Carbon Fibre range, which takes inspiration from the brand’s motorsport heritage, the models are made of carbon fibres, stainless steel and rubber. Red, blue, grey or black highlights on the inside of the temple and the temple tip emphasise the different material structures used.

The woven carbon fibre detail in the Carbon Fibre frames reflects the brand’s racetrack legacy

Carbon fibre is a popular material in the automotive industry as it is lightweight, stable and corrosion resistant – properties that also enhance the durability of eyewear. Woven carbon fibres are used as design element in the frames, while the combination of carbon fibres, stainless steel and rubber at the temple balances stability and flexibility.

New aviator-style sunglasses have been introduced to this range, as well as two prescription frames, each available in four colour combinations.

Dempsey also sported a frame from the Liquid Titanium range – round sunglasses featuring a double bridge
The Liquid Titanium frames are made of 100% titanium and feature a three-dimensional temple

The frame designs in the Liquid Titanium range are inspired by the flyline of the Porsche 911. Made of 100% titanium, the frames are lightweight and comfortable. The three-dimensional temples create a contrast between light and shadow, which is evocative of ‘flowing metal’. The latest additions to this range are the Squared Aviator sunglasses and round sunglasses with a double bridge, as well as two prescription frames: square and nylor.

The designs in the Cyber Tec range highlight functionality and comfort for extended wear

The design concept of the Cyber Tec range is inspired by the outline of a futuristic automobile, while the temple elements of the frames are reminiscent of the rear lights of Porsche 911. It combines RXP plastic with stainless steel to ensure stability and lightness.

The functional three-dimensional temple has a stainless-steel core, ensuring flexibility and comfort. The square stainless-steel jaw in contrasting colour links to the temple. Porsche Design has added two new sunglasses and two prescription frames to this range. ✈
