Anna-Karin Karlsson Chain Nest Sun sunglasses
There are glasses you wear to protect yourself from the sun, and then there are those you wear to assert who you are. The Anna-Karin Karlsson Chain Nest Sun sunglasses clearly belong to the second category. Created by Swedish designer Anna-Karin Karlsson, these glasses are the fruit of a bold, demanding and profoundly singular artistic universe. Every pair is conceived as a statement piece, far removed from fleeting trends, and designed for women who have something to say without opening their mouths.
A frame like no other
The Chain Nest Sun frame stands out for its assertive geometric shape, designed for those who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd. The pierced structure brings a surprising visual lightness, contrasting with the boldness of the overall form. Titanium, a truly noble material, gives this frame remarkable durability while remaining incredibly light to wear. It is no coincidence that Anna-Karin Karlsson chooses titanium for her creations: this material allows a precision of craftsmanship that few others can match, and it ages beautifully over time.
The name Chain Nest evokes interlocking, the gentle complexity of a woven nest, a pattern that coils in on itself. This is exactly what this frame conveys: a sense of considered construction, an object crafted down to the finest detail. This is far from mass production. Here, every line has a purpose.
Lenses worthy of the frame
The solar lenses of the Chain Nest Sun offer effective sun protection, filtered to meet the demands of outdoor use. Depending on the version chosen, you can opt for mirrored, gradient or polarised lenses, each bringing a different visual experience and its own aesthetic. Polarised lenses in particular are highly valued for driving or very bright environments, as they eliminate unwanted glare and deliver superior visual comfort. These glasses are also prescription-adaptable: our opticians can fit your corrective lenses while preserving the spirit of the frame, so you never have to choose between correction and style.

Frequently asked questions about Anna-Karin Karlsson Chain Nest Sun glasses
Can these glasses be adapted for a visual prescription?
Yes, absolutely. The Chain Nest Sun frame is prescription-adaptable. Our qualified opticians can fit your corrective lenses while respecting the shape and spirit of the frame. Book an appointment in store for a prescription assessment and a personalised fitting.
Is the frame lightweight enough for everyday wear?
Titanium is one of the lightest materials used in luxury eyewear. Despite its structured appearance and strong visual presence, the Chain Nest Sun virtually disappears on the face. This is one of titanium's greatest assets: strength and lightness go hand in hand.
Is Anna-Karin Karlsson a brand that is hard to find in France?
The distribution of the Anna-Karin Karlsson brand is deliberately limited. Céline Roland Opticien Lunetier is one of the rare French stockists to carry this collection. This is a deliberate choice on our part, to offer our clients exclusive pieces that you won't find just anywhere.
