The two iconic designs appear in a special edition

For its 50th anniversary this year, Porsche Design has launched a limited 50Y Porsche Design Capsule Collection, bringing its aesthetic heritage to the present day using state-of-the-art materials.

With the new edition of the design classics, new styles have been created with an iconic character recognising and celebrating the past, present and future.

In 1978 Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche created the design icon P‘8478, the first pair of sunglasses with an interchangeable lens mechanism, known as the Exclusive Spectacles.

As a tribute to and in the style of the P‘8478, in 2020 the P‘8928 was created in the squared aviator look, which also has the interchangeable lens mechanism, but has a more edgy and striking design. The design of the characteristic clasp on the nose bridge was adapted to the lens shape of the model and is in line with today’s trends.

The two iconic designs appear in a special edition with a matt black frame, platinum-coloured highlights made of ultralight titanium as well as grey polarisation lenses with olive-coloured interchangeable lenses.

The collection is limited to 1972 pieces in each style and the sunglasses are designed with flat spectacle lenses, which once again highlight the modern oversized look.

The two limited frames come in a box with matching strap and are available in selected retail outlets as well as online at porsche-design.com
