The designers have created a 3D printed collaboration collection
Developed to mark the 10th anniversary of the brand, NIRVAN JAVAN, this new collaboration collection pays homage to the two designers’ shared home city, Zurich. The frames are described as following a strictly defined formal language, drawing on essential elements. Typographic principles and urban geometry serve as references: five geometric base shapes are varied, with that are proportions finely adjusted, and details providing interesting accents. Much like font design or typesetting, “the magic” of the frames is described by Nirvan Javan as “lying in the nuances”.
Designed, developed, and produced in Switzerland, these 3D printed models aim to marry technical consistency with creative finesse. Clean lines in 3D printing, seamless transitions, and a coherent materiality define the aesthetic while titanium temples merge with the organic fronts. Above: Nirvan Javan and Alfredo Häberli
Swiss-Argentinian designer, Alfredo Häberli is renowned in the design world for his wide-ranging work, which includes furniture and lighting as well as everyday objects. As a designer he follows a clear aesthetic rooted in his personal credo: “Observing is the most beautiful form of thinking.” With his first eyewear designs, created in close collaboration with Nirvan Javan, a long-held passion project found its expression.
The collaboration between Nirvan Javan and Alfredo Häberli embodies an understanding of design as a cultural practice and exchange, locally rooted, yet internationally resonant. Find out more at www.nirvanjavan.com
