KOMONO with Marcel Sommer
- By Editorial Team
KOMONO, the Antwerp based eyewear and accessories brand, launches the second collaboration edition with Marcel Sommer, alumnus of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Following the success of their initial collaboration for Sommer’s graduation collection, this new release sees the transformation of visionary designs into a collection that embraces wider accessibility. In this continuation, KOMONO introduces an interpretation of Marcel Sommer’s master collection sunglasses, infusing them with a more commercial flair. The collaboration marks a celebration of the designer’s evolution beyond the academic realm,
presenting eyewear that is described as “both artistically captivating and readily accessible to a broader audience”.
Marcel Sommer’s “AFTER[MA]TH” collection envisions the evolution of humans into a superhuman species, exploring the idea of brain-chip connections for dominance. It portrays a disrupted world, balancing hardcore and sensitive elements. Inspired by Brutalism and light installations, the sunglasses feature strict lines merging into curves. The harmonious form and colour palette create a sculptural aesthetic, representing the futuristic atmosphere of the collection, the company states.
