Black Heavy Square Acetate Stepped Temple Sunglasses
A heavy angular square moulded in acetate at full thickness, squared at the outer corner, on temples that step down in thickness behind the hinge.
Five colourways, each moulded in a small quantity.
By the pool, where nobody is dressed
On a pool deck there is almost nothing to read a person by. No coat, no bag, no shoes — which leaves the frame doing all of it, at the distance of the next lounger. An oversized square, cut wide enough to cover past the outer corner of the eye, is the one deliberate thing in view.
That is why eyewear carries further here than anywhere else. The step in the temple shows when you lie back and the arm catches the light along its edge, and the small metal marker is the detail somebody works out on a second pass. Nobody says anything about a frame by a pool. They simply revise what they had assumed about the rest of your week.
Lifted off for a swim, they are the thing left on the towel.
Stepped temples, squared corners
The front is moulded in acetate at full thickness, squared at the outer corner and stepped where the front meets the bridge. Every edge is a flat plane rather than a rolled one, so the outline stays hard instead of softening in bright light.
Each temple is a wide acetate arm that steps down in thickness behind the hinge, with a small metal marker set into the outer face. The step is what keeps the weight forward rather than at the ear, and it is the ridge your thumb finds as you fold them. The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and carry full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB.

Full thickness, and a second operation
Stepping a temple down in thickness is a second operation after the arm is cut, which slows the run and keeps each colourway small. The graduated lenses go out before the solid ones, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Pick a colourway above and add it to the bag. Fourteen days is enough to wear them in strong light and send them back.
