Rodenstock launches travel retail-exclusive Porsche Design eyewear range

German eyewear manufacturer Rodenstock has launched new travel-retail exclusive sunglasses from Porsche Design.

The P’8927T range pays homage to four of the brand’s best-selling Porsche Design eyewear silhouettes.

The slightly square sunglasses are the latest interpretation of Porsche Design’s  signature Squared Aviator Shape, which features a slightly flatter and wider form to create a universal fit.

Porsche Design incorporates a soft double bridge that symbolises balance between modern and classic for a dramatic effect, despite the filigree stainless steel frame.

The revamped sunglasses also boast a minimalist stainless-steel frame. The almost straight Base-2 lenses create a very modern oversize look, with the sophisticated black matte shade lending a sleek finish.

Aesthetic and comfort are combined in the new pieces, thanks to lightweight temples made of high-performance material RXP.

Deploying Vision Drive lens technology, the sunglasses feature high-quality polarised lenses that optimise vision on wet and slippery surfaces by reducing reflections and glare.

Rodenstock Director Global Retail Lucas Gestin said:  ‘A new take on one of Porsche Design’s most popular and classic models, the P’8927T meets the needs of customers who are seeking something truly standout and unique in the travel retail market, while also delivering the highest standards of design, style and materials.’

The P’8927T range is available exclusively in selected duty free stores from this month.
