The Oliver Peoples Gio Ponti collection is a lineup of eyewear styles created to pay homage to the late namesake architect in a bold, fashion-forward way. The collection includes both sunglasses and eyeglasses that are each characterized by their bold, angular aesthetic that calls to mind the work of the prolific Italian architect. The glasses come in the form of the G. Ponti-1, 2 and 3, which are each crafted with premium materials like titanium.
The Oliver Peoples Gio Ponti collection was created in collaboration with the Gio Ponti archives and are available now for purchase at a starting price point of $625. The glasses put a focus on rounded lenses with angular accents for a sense of dualism.
