Manti Manti with its 3D Collection
The 3D collection for children combines sustainable PA11 made from castor beans with advanced 3D printing. The faces and arms are printed separately, then assembled into ultra-lightweight, flexible, and durable frames. This process reduces waste, offers greater design freedom, and ensures a perfect fit for children’s active lifestyles – unlike traditional acetate or injection-molded frames, it combines innovation with playful design.

VANNI with Extra
An Extra collection in every sense of the word. More than just an accessory, it’s a bold style statement: the frames feature unique contours and a distinctive design, adding a touch of personality without compromising on comfort. The frames are cut from 8 mm acetate and feature continuous nose pads. The faceted profile visually softens the frontal impact of the thick frames, maintaining a solid structure and lightness.
Category: Special Jury Prize
Sapiens with ER-1813 M
The idea was to create a pair of sunglasses frames similar to a mask, but with the option of inserting prescription lenses. ER-1813 M is part of the Sapiens collection, which is based on a free design exercise inspired by certain skulls from human evolution. This particular model is based on a Homo habilis skull, code KNM ER1813, which is why the model is named ER1813-M.
