RIGARDS RG2020WO: nominated for SILMO d’OR 2017, category design sunglasses
A pairing of tradition (think artisanal skills, Inuit visor) and science-fiction machine-age aesthetics (B-2 stealth bomber, Boba Fett, and Terminator), RIGARDS’s foray into wood frames is an innovative structure that is sure to stand out on any planet.
As an organic evolution of the aviator anatomy, RG2020WO distinguishes itself with an ultra-thin visor lens fabricated from a single piece of polyamide. Strong and light, large but not absurd, the shield construction has a gentle mirror coating and takes the heat flawlessly whether it be from sunrays or flashbulbs.
The frame’s most powerful identity is perhaps the beautifully-grained solid wood top bar—a reference to the infinity symbol and the elegant flying buttresses of Gothic architecture.
Sleek beta-titanium temples and adjustable horn nose pads ensure a great fit and comfort. A cross between cool sophistication and badass renegade, dedicated to devotees of all things bold and bodacious.
