Belgian-based innovative accessories brand Komono has unveiled its Zero Gravity collection, a bold exploration of design that defies the limits of gravity. This collection reimagines classic eyewear frames, drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing, fluid movements of water in space.

With Zero Gravity, Komono not only introduces an aesthetic experiment but also challenges conventional design perspectives. Further enhancing its fluid and universal theme, each frame in the collection is named after the word “water” in different languages from around the world. Yoruba, Turkish, Japanese, and Maltese names highlight Komono’s vision of blending global and cosmic elements into a seamless harmony. Deeply rooted in Antwerp’s distinctive fashion scene, Komono stands out with a diverse product range, including sunglasses, optical frames, watches, and even ski masks. By embracing experimentation and pushing creative boundaries, the brand offers a glimpse into the future of design. With an avant-garde yet accessible approach, Komono continues to redefine eyewear with innovation and originality.
