Nirvan Javan

NIRVAN JAVAN

Intersection of Cultures

Nirvan Javan’s brand Dna is based on maximizing the language of form and placing the natural beauty of the user at the center. This focus on the essentials is not limiting for the designer, but rather liberating.

Intersection of Cultures
The Nirvan Javan brand was launched in 2015 by the Iranian-born Swiss designer of the same name, based in Switzerland. While earning his master’s degree as an optician, Nirvan Javan discovered his talent for design sketches and product development and focused on developing his skills in this field. His eponymous brand quickly made an impact in the eyewear industry with its minimalist and simple designs. Nirvan Javan has become a global success story with a brand Dna inspired by cosmopolitan influences that resonates in German-speaking countries.

Purist Designs
Nirvan Javan is inspired by cities, artists, cinema, different cultures and people in general. The designer also closely follows the biggest hits of eyewear design and reinterprets them in a contemporary form language. Nirvan Javan defines the ideal user for his eyewear as an elegant, cosmopolitan individual who wants to experience the world in all its facets.

So far, many cosmopolitan cities such as Tokyo and London have inspired Nirvan Javan’s highly acclaimed collections. As an optician and eyewear designer, Nirvan Javan has carved a niche for himself in the world of optics, but as a modern-day traveler, he travels to countless destinations around the world to explore cultures and cities. Through these travels, the designer learns to look at the world, cultures, art and artists from different perspectives, feeding his collections with all his experiences. Nirvan Javan’s design language is all about luxury materials. For instance, for many years the brand used only the highest quality acetate, which is hand-processed in Japan. Finding the quality level of the material exceptional, Nirvan Javan did not consider switching to different materials for a long time. However, in 2020, Nirvan Javan presented his Tokyo collection of frames using high quality titanium for the first time. Although the choice of titanium was a technological innovation, Nirvan Javan’s designs were as pure and classically inspired as ever, with new interpretations of double bridge structures and classic aviator forms. With the Tokyo collection, Nirvan Javan rapidly increased his brand recognition in the optical world and became known as a passionate designer who could envision the future of eyewear.

Futuristic Traditionalism
Nirvan Javan’s brand Dna is based on maximizing the language of form and placing the natural beauty of the user at the center. This focus on the basics is not limiting for the designer, but rather liberating. Nirvan Javan, who prefers to open up completely new opportunities in his designs, carries the mission of helping individuals in a cosmopolitan lifestyle to remember the existence of new horizons, dimensions and diversity through his collections. Especially in the last few years, Nirvan Javan has built a growing international fan base with his simple and contemporary designs. An uncompromising focus on craftsmanship and quality plays a major role in creating collections that have endured over the years. Aiming to evoke a pleasant sense of coherence and calm in an overstressed world, Nirvan Javan invites users to see the world through his collections.

Started 2023 with a New Monogram
In the first months of 2023, Nirvan Javan created a brand new monogram for his brand, meaning a motif that blends fonts and patterns. The Iranian-born Swiss designer first used his new monogram in the Marrakech collection, which he presented in the winter season. The new monogram, which he placed as a pattern on the temples of the frames in the Marrakech collection, was highly appreciated in the optical design world. This new monogram, which is one of the products of Nirvan Javan’s endless design journey, inspired by the great metropolises of the world and presenting eyewear collections with a relentless evolution and passionate creativity, also includes N.J., the initials of the brand. These two letters, which melt into each other and become a single whole in the monogram, ideally represent the brand’s pure design philosophy. The new pattern with classic elements sums up the embodiment of the modern world. The monogram symbolizing Nirvan Javan’s new brand identity adds new details and historical texture to the frames in the Marrakech collection. Inspired by the colorful bazaars and oriental architecture of Marrakech, one of the most culturally vibrant metropolises of the North African, Nirvan Javan only included optical frames in the Marrakech collection.

The frames in the collection, which are also made of high quality Japanese acetate, are equipped with a magnificent color palette based on the special geometry of Arab architecture. The details of the frames in the Marrakech collection, the new monogram engraved on the temples, uniquely symbolize the modern world that is intertwined, open and in constant change.

Javan’s Newest: The Stockholm
Nirvan Javan’s new Stockholm collection is inspired by the purity and simplicity of Sweden and captures the functional spirit of the North. The journey of experiencing the elegance of the modern world, a cosmopolitan belief to which the designer is dedicated, guides the designs in the brand’s new collection. After touching metropolises such as Toronto, Marrakech and Tokyo, Nirvan Javan finds himself in Northern Europe this time. In the designer’s hands, the North transforms into Stockholm, his new collection. Inspired by the purity and simplicity of Sweden, the designer transforms the Scandinavian metropolis into another universe in his new collection with the brand’s purist design approach and lines. In everyday frames completely stripped of excess, Swedish design philosophy comes to life and shapes full of simplicity and clarity with universal appeal. Thus, matte frames made of acetate kept in earthy colors capture the functional spirit of the North. Sweden, thanks to Nirvan Javan, is almost fit into an eyeglass frame.

Attention If You See Double When Looking Away!

Eye Diseases Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Halil Hüseyin Çağatay said that double vision when looking away may be a harbinger of a serious health problem, medical help may be needed, so it should not be neglected.

Eye Diseases Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Halil Hüseyin Çağatay gave important information about double vision when looking away, scientifically known as ‘diplopia’. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Halil Hüseyin Çağatay emphasized that double vision, which can be experienced by many people and is usually a temporary condition, may be a symptom of a serious health problem, may require medical assistance, so it should not be neglected.

THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF IT IS EYE SLIPPAGE AND STRABISMUS
Stating that the most common cause of double vision is slippage and strabismus in the eye, Dr. Çağatay said, “Double vision increases over the years in cases where the inward shift increases when looking away. Our patients most frequently state that the lanes on the roads are intertwined. Double vision can also occur temporarily as a side effect due to trauma and some medications. For example; in recent years, patients have been presenting with temporary double vision problems after Botox applications. The double vision here typically occurs in side gaze. Other important and common causes of double vision are diseases of the brain and cerebral vessels. The most important thing to remember is that all newly emerging double vision problems require urgent medical examination and research without neglect.  Some problems that cause double vision may also be due to neurological causes. Diseases such as stroke, brain tumor, aneurysm in the brain vessels, multiple sclerosis can cause double vision problems when looking away.”

A DETAILED EYE EXAMINATION IS IMPORTANT IN THIS PROBLEM
People who have double vision problems when looking far away should urgently consult an ophthalmologist. With a detailed eye examination, the strabismus problem, if any, is detected by measuring the slip angles in far, near and side gaze; the diagnosis of strabismus can also be confirmed with binocular vision tests, which we call binocular vision tests. If no problem is detected, the underlying cause can be investigated with more detailed neurological examinations. Double vision is usually treatable; however, the treatment method depends on the source of the problem. It is very important to solve the underlying problem, if any. In addition, double vision can be eliminated with prismatic glasses that control double vision, neurotoxin applications and surgical interventions on the eye muscles. In conclusion, if you experience double vision when looking away, you should not ignore this condition and seek help from a health professional. This will help protect both your comfort of life and your overall health.
