Skarp: Contemporary Refinement

At Öga, design and functionality are the two founding principles of the men’s collection. With Skarp, the designer has chosen to focus on sensory design. Combining volume and elegant use of materials, this aluminum ultra-light frame adopts a creative approach to eyewear.

Available in a monoblock version, the aluminum front defines the eyes while the temple, also in aluminum, is imposingly simple. It reveals a microfused flex-hinge encased in coloured, openwork polyurethane rubber which is an integral part of the product’s beauty. Matt or brushed anodized aluminum allows deep colour finishes and also offers additional protection against corrosion.
