Miga Studio presents its Architecture of Vision collection for the new season. The brand focuses on structure, proportion, and material relationships rather than decorative elements in its new designs. The Taisho Bold Titan Top model stands out in Miga Studio’s new collection, which brings together Eastern and Western design cultures. The design creates a powerful contrast by combining warm-textured Takiron acetate with a titanium top line. The titanium top line, placed on top of the acetate layer reminiscent of the warmth of natural materials in Japanese architecture, defines the character of the frame like a structural beam. The model creates a balanced tension between organic volume and industrial lines through the relationship between warm and cold materials. The design draws inspiration from the Taisho period, when Western technology merged with Japanese culture. The metal core structure used in the model stands out as one of the defining elements of the design. The new handle design, featuring raw cut surfaces, gives the frame a modern and brutalist character. The newly developed duplex hinge system offers a technically precise yet extremely smooth closing motion, enhancing the user experience.

Seraphin has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The new Heirloom Refinement collection introduces classically inspired unisex styles that bridge vintage character and contemporary refinement. Premium acetate frames are polished to reveal deep, nuanced color palettes. Models such as Palmer and Sandell feature rectangular profiles accented by refined metal hardware, reinforcing the frame’s geometry without overwhelming it. Every detail feels intentional, contributing to a sense of permanence rather than decoration. Metal frames step confidently into focus this season. Chatham reinterprets the academic round shape, softened with subtle touches of lustrous color that bring warmth and accessibility to a traditionally formal silhouette. Whether round or angular, acetate or metal, the collection is deliberately inclusive, designed to flatter a wide range of faces and genders. Chief Creative Officer David Duralde approaches eyewear as a form of architecture, and shares: “Seraphin has always lived at the intersection of heritage and modern life.

Kaleos presents its men’s collection for the Spring/Summer 2026 season under the theme Unexpected Twists. The brand’s design philosophy, which is close to architectural thinking, is shaped by refined details and balanced proportions rather than rigid rules. Kaleos’ new men’s styles are understated yet represent a strong sense of confidence. Clean lines, structured silhouettes, and technical sophistication define the series’ overall aesthetic. The meticulous attention to measurement, proportion, and detail in each model gives the collection a modern and timeless character. The use of high-density acetate allows for frames that are lightweight yet feature distinct lines. Some models feature sharp edges and bolder geometries, lending the designs a strong masculine influence. Many models in the collection are offered in two different sizes, aiming to preserve the character of the design while offering flexibility to the user. Technical innovations are also an important part of the collection. Screwless hinge systems, hybrid structures combining acetate with stainless steel, and titanium frames completed with high-density acetate rings showcase Kaleos’ focus on engineering and craftsmanship.
