NOXA builds sunglasses the way a lab builds instruments. Every frame is specified, measured and tested in direct sun before it carries our name. Bold shapes, no decoration, nothing that does not do a job.

Material

10mm

Single-block Mazzucchelli acetate, milled rather than laminated. Thick enough that the edge shows the full depth of colour.

Optics

2.2mm

Mineral glass lenses with a polarizing film. Scratch resistant and optically flat, with no wobble at the edge of vision.

Finish

48h

Tumbled and hand polished in Cadore, Italy. The finisher's initials are stamped inside the left temple.

Six frames. Three colourways each.

SS27 is a closed set. Each silhouette is drawn once, measured once and produced in limited runs.

Same sun. Four filters.

Drag across the plate to compare the naked eye with each NOXA lens. The curve shows how much of each wavelength gets through.

Naked eye Smoke

Transmission, 380 to 780 nm

Built heavy, on purpose.

Thirty percent more material than a typical acetate frame, so the shape holds its line on the face.
