Blackfin introduces AirGlass, the revolutionary Barberini polarized lens in ultra-thin glass that redefines the balance between weight and optical quality. The two Italian companies have combined their expertise to introduce a design product that pushes beyond the limits of weight, achieving the perfect balance between lightness and quality. Weighing just 9 grams more than the corresponding plastic lenses, the new Blackfin AirGlass are a distillation of artisan mastery and innovation. Blackfin Ceo Nicola Del Din stated: “Blackfin is extremely proud of its partnership with Barberini, global leader in the mineral glass lens sector. Titanium is well-known for its excellent qualities, including its light weight; glass is the material that ensures optimum optical performance but is typically perceived as heavy. Both Blackfin and Barberini have set themselves apart in terms of state-of-the-art processing of these two materials. By combining our respective skill sets, we aim to show that it is possible to offer a new visual experience in a product of excellence that is surprisingly lightweight.”
