Porsche Design creates the Pā8951 glasses as a part of its Iconic Machined Series. The sunglasses are made from a solid block of aluminum materials and as a result, create a futuristic design language. Every pair is defined by an outline-style frame that supports a single-piece lens that rests in between, connecting from both eyes and over the nose bridge.
Additionally, the Pā8951 is a limited-edition design as there are only 911 units, priced at $1,600 CAD. This is the first of the Porsche Design Iconic Machined series. It is made with inspiration from the Cybertruck as it has a nude metallic finish and is framed with tinted glass. The angular shapes are also reminiscent of the automobile.
