Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche designed a car that instantaneously catapulted him into the pinnacle of the design world. The Porsche 911 is an icon amongst sports cars. Porsche founded Studio F.A. Porsche, an independent studio for product design in 1972 - which we wrote about in our previous Porsche Design Brand Focus. His philosophy is still maintained by the Porsche Design team today: ‘If you analyze the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious’.
With function at its core, Porsche Design Eyewear remains at the forefront of technological advancements and style innovation. Constantly challenging the status quo, their mission is to break down boundaries in the eyewear industry.
Never following trends, instead creating them - you can see this determination and dedication in the new Porsche Design Sunglass Collection. This new collection features exclusive designs that are created with high-tech materials such as titanium, 18ct gold and mercury. Always providing the best in UV protection, each sunglass design combines masculine elegance, functionality and a sports-luxe feel to your eyewear collection.
