Article One: for an active lifestyle

16th April 2025

A tribute to movement and modern design

Debuting new sports-oriented ophthalmic and sun designs for Spring/Summer 2025, Article One continues to propose a new look for sports eyewear, merging athletic sensibility with contemporary design. The frames are designed for individuals who “view style as an active expression of identity” and those who wish to wear attractive finely-tuned, design-oriented eyewear with heightened functionality for sports. Above: Article One frames are made for activities such as golf, yoga, running and cycling

“Spring brings a sharp mix of performance and polish from Article One ophthalmic frames and sunglasses—stylish double bridges, rich geometric shapes, and grip fit technology, built for active wearers who won’t compromise on aesthetics,” explains David Duralde, Chief Creative Officer, Ogi Eyewear, the parent company of Article One.

Reflecting the seasonal shift to sunnier days, the new colour palette delivers freshness and balance—supporting Article One’s continued focus on intentional living and enduring design.

Described as the “cutest” addition to the sunglasses line at Article One, the Meadow sunglasses have a round shape combined with a slightly upswept end piece to create a subtle feminine elegance. The frame features a variety of special details including the brand’s signature adjustable nosepads.

All Article One frames are handmade in Japan, where traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation come together to ensure exceptional quality and detail. For more information visit www.articleoneeyewear.com

Matteo Cibic work at Punto Ottico Humaneyes

About Matteo Cibic / Matteo Cibic (b. 1983, Parma, Italy) is a groundbreaking trans media creator who uses his craft to explore the world and imagine utopian futures. Through his sculptural practice, he imbues everyday objects with a soul and personality, treating them as personas that bridge the gap between the animate and inanimate. For over a decade, he has conducted “a sociological research about colours and objects,” investigating how they shape our daily lives. One of his most iconic projects, VasoNaso, exemplifies his fusion of humour, creativity, and rigorous experimentation with ceramics. For Cibic, even the slightest shift in form can suggest an entirely new species, sparking a playful yet meaningful exploration of evolution and diversity.

Look : Rigato men’s series

10th April 2025

Part of Look’s modern MODA collection, the Rigato style 4680 features a grooved decoration in the acetate material

Adding to its already colourful collection, the new Rigato optical styles feature a particularly eye-catching detail on parts of the design. Very narrow grooved lines on the edges of the front – like reeding on the edge of a coin – decorate the frame and add a visible contrast to the smooth surfaces of the translucent frame fronts. In this series, the shapes reinterpret the iconic styles of the past with a contemporary twist. The small 4680 style features 1950s-inspired squared lines that makes it soft and rounded. Above:the new entry at Look – Rigato contemporary designs for men – the Italian word ‘rigato’ translates lined or scored

Close-up: Rigato features a linear decoration – adding texture

Colours in this collection further highlight the details and contrasts between polished, matt and ridged surfaces and draw from both tradition and modern design trends to create something unique: as well as havana hues and solid natural shades like orange-infused rust, the blue and green accents, combined with natural brown temples, offer men an alternative more energised eyewear style with a brightly coloured finish.
