Arcatura

Gothic architecture inspired eyewear featuring a custom designed articulating hinge

00

Overview

Inspired by the sculpted forms of medieval gothic architecture, the Arcatura concept prioritized mood over minimalism.

Built from a total of 14 individual parts, the custom hinges were designed to deliver an elegant, articulating motion. The hinges appear calm and understated when the glasses are being worn, but quickly transform into a spine-like structure when closed, revealing a hidden personality to the wearer.
