Direct to consumer and customisable eyewear brand, Pair Eyewear has launched a new collaboration with The Met.
The range features 16 new top frames that are inspired by a selection of iconic works including paintings, sculptures and tapestries, from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
The company has gained a cult following through limited edition licensed designs. In keeping with its successful programme of monthly drops, the 16-piece top frame collection draws inspiration from famed artworks from around the globe including: Monet’s Water Lilies; Cézanne’s Apples & Primroses; Renoir’s Bouquet of Chrysanthemums; and Tiepolo’s Allegory of the Planets.
“At Pair, we are always thinking about how to bring more personality into eyewear,” commented Sophia Edelstein, co-founder and co-ceo at Pair Eyewear. “This collection, which brings some of the world’s most acclaimed art to the eyewear industry, speaks directly to the core of our values as we seek to breathe joy into eyewear.”
Nathan Kondamuri, co-founder and co-ceo of Pair Eyewear, added: “We are honored to be entrusted by The Met to bring this collection, which pays homage to their renowned collection of art, to life.”
The new collaboration with The Met follows the brand’s announcement earlier this year that it has expanded the Pair Eyewear direct to consumer business to the UK and Australia and opened its second manufacturing facility in Irvine, California.
