Porsche Design, a product design studio owned by luxury automaker Porsche, has officially added two new slick sunglasses to its 'Hexagon Series.' According to the company, the chic new shades draw inspiration from the design of Porsche's 911 GT3 engine block. This is even where the series gets its name, as the sunglasses feature the same hexagonal screws as the luxury vehicle.
The two new styles include the P’8937 and the P’8938. both of which offer contemporary takes on the classic aviator silhouette. The P’8937 comes with more square-like lenses than traditional aviators; it is also being offered in a wide range of colorways. Meanwhile, the P’8938 delivers a more classic aviator look, leaning into the original's signature tear-drop design.
