AKONI introduces the ALTITUDE SERIES, an Olympic capsule collection conceived to celebrate sport, performance, and the distinctive elegance of mountain life.
Designed for seamless transitions from the slopes to après-ski moments, the collection has been designed to embody AKONI’s philosophy of precision, innovation, and refined design.
The capsule was created in collaboration with EYETECH, a lenses hub renowned for its cutting-edge optical technology. Together, AKONI and EYETECH developed ultra-high-performance, prescription-grade lenses, made in Switzerland and hand-mounted to ensure optimal fit, durability, and visual precision. All three styles feature polarized lenses, while two are enhanced with a mirror finish, offering superior visual performance in alpine conditions and a contemporary aesthetic.
The collection reinterprets three of AKONI’s iconic frames—Hercules, Phoenix, and Spitzer—adapting them to a winter and mountain-driven context. Ideal for après-ski, these styles combine technical functionality with effortless sophistication, the company says.
Inspired by the purity of ice and the reflective power of mirrors, the ALTITUDE SERIES plays on contrasts between crystal-clear acetate and strong, expressive lenses. The colour palette includes AKONI’s deep emerald green alongside mirror polar blue and mirror polar brown lenses, evoking snow-covered landscapes, sharp light, and the dynamic energy of the mountains.
