Mido 2026 preview: Blackfin features new lightweight material

The Italian eyewear brand launches collection featuring VitraCore

Blackfin is launching the innovative Vitra collection featuring the transparent material in combination with titanium. VitraCoreis a proprietary technology based on a state-of-the-art high-performance polymer. The material has been used with a thickness that is greater than the market standard, allowing toughness or resilience and, at the same time, an incredibly lightweight feel in the frames. The material, used for the fronts of the frames is combined with minimal components produced in aerospace-grade titanium. Inspired by aeronautical rivets, a micro-hinge is concealed behind the patented Loop connection, while the temples, as well as the hooks – anchored to the bridge, add stability and comfort.

“Vitra is the transparent evolution of titanium,” says Nicola Del Din, CEO at Blackfin. “Here, the invisible becomes solid, merging the purity of light with the mechanical certainty of Blackfin. Along with Aero and Pacific, this family opens a new, essential segment dedicated to lightness – a vision we firmly believe in and one that inaugurates a new world for the brand, with the conviction that it will further amplify the extraordinary results we are achieving.”

With eight men’s and women’s styles offering timeless shapes, the Blackfin Vitra collection is available either in full-titanium or in versions with silicone nose pads and medical-grade rubber temple tips. The choice of solutions allows for a tailored fit for every face.
