The history of Akoni 

Inspired by a story told by many visionaries, a story taught to our scholars and a story that revealed our fearless pioneers and astronomers. Akoni turned to the place where it all began. Where our sense of curiosity was born, and where we discovered that our will to push the boundaries of human capability was infinite. Each frame takes its name from celestial bodies and space programmes, embodying the fearless spirit of those who pushed the frontiers of exploration. The exceptional quality of AKONI is the result of Japanese artisanal expertise. Crafted in Japan by master artisans, frames are made from the finest materials and time-honoured techniques. Made in Japan is the ultimate guarantee of quality and attention to detail.

Akoni collections 

OPTIMA

Equal parts evolution and revolution, Optima challenges preconceived design philosophies and pushes the limits of contemporary eyewear production. Taking its name from the Latin word for the best, Optima styles are extremely difficult to produce and are often available in extremely limited quantities.

ALTITUDE

Making the dream of flight a reality requires courage, skill and specialised equipment. Named after the measurement of height above the horizon, Altitude styles are modern interpretations of aviation-inspired classics that take their names from the remarkable celestial objects that make up our galaxy. Certain colour combinations are available with polarised solar lenses.

ETERE

Inspired by the mysterious fifth element that the ancients believed held our galaxy in place, Etere styles are crafted from eco-friendly cellulose acetate and bear the names of constellations — impressive celestial compositions that, for millennia, have inspired dreamers to become legends.

HORIZON

Like the majestic union of the horizon between Earth and sky, Horizon artfully combines the slim profile and lightness of titanium with the beauty and substance of eco-friendly cellulose acetate. The styles in the Horizon collection bear the names of the world's most powerful telescopes — meticulously crafted optical instruments revealing new and unimagined worlds.

DELTA

Space travel requires precise calculations with no margin for error, so no mathematical concept is more important than delta (Δ) — representing the change or movement of an object. With each of Delta's wire-frame styles bearing the name of a legendary space flight programme, we are reminded that our dreams of the stars begin on solid ground.
