Akoni Eyewear: Japanese Finesse And Mastery

Explore our curated collection of Akoni eyewear. A Swiss-based independent eyewear brand, Akoni started in 2019 with production out of Fukui, Japan. Their mission is to create an entirely new type of luxury eyewear company, one that honestly delivers exceptional products by relying on only the best designs, materials, craftsmanship, technologies and care. Inspiration stems from the finest visionaries within the realms of design, art and beauty. Their designs speak for themselves, free from ostentatious branding, and the quality standard lies within their name; Akoni, Latin for “priceless; worthy of admiration”.

Akoni Eyewear: Understated Luxury

Rosaria Toscano, the co-founder of Akoni, has this to say about the brand: “Akoni rests on the twin pillars of intelligent design and honest luxury.” The independent eyewear brand is renowned for their high-quality frames, and they draw design and manufacturing inspiration from the golden ratio and Shokunin, the Japanese philosophy grounded in the idea of working to perfect every handcrafted detail. As such, Akoni eyewear is unique in that every frame holds intricate details that can be noticed and truly appreciated upon closer inspection.

To guarantee such a high level of quality, Akoni has established strong connections with master artisans in Fukui, Japan, long considered to be the home of luxury eyewear production. The brand also exclusively uses premium Japanese acetate (Zyl) and Japanese titanium. Crafted from wood and cotton, Zyl is considered to be world class because of its unmatched strength, luster, and ability to maintain its shape even after years of use. And Japanese titanium is impeccably crafted to be lightweight and incredibly durable. Titanium Akoni eyewear is fitted with lightweight and hypoallergenic ceramic nose pads with ribbed lines to provide a non-slip, comfortable fit.
