Result of the collaboration between Ray-Ban and Meta, Ray-Ban Stories are the first generation of smart glasses. They include a dual integrated 5MP camera to take photo and video; discreet open-ear speakers to listen, and a three-microphone audio array to deliver rich voice and sound transmission for calls and videos.

SPHERE® by Starck Biotech Paris

SPHERE® by Starck Biotech Paris received the Red Dot award for outstanding design quality. The Sphere hinge is designed on the idea of getting inspiration from Nature’s infinite intelligence and elegance in order to create high technologies.

The SPHERE® hinge is a revolutionary articulation, a minimalistic way to imagine eyewear thanks to its simplified structure, designed as a sphere. Made without screws or welding, SPHERE® technology offers unparalleled freedom of movement and unique lightness, with each frame weighting less than just 15 grams.
