To mark the 60th anniversary of the Porsche 911, German lifestyle brand Porsche Design has announced a new capsule collection of eyewear, accompanied by new releases for travelling shoppers.
As an extension of the Flowing Titanium series that’s inspired by the silhouette of the Porsche 911, Porsche Design is presenting a special edition of just 911 pieces, available in the same colours as the anniversary edition of the car: black and Shore blue, an exclusive grey-blue hue. The collection includes the P'8369 optical frame and the P'8966 sunglasses style, with lenses featuring innovative Vision Drive technology.

The styles are said to optimise the function, reducing the form to its essentials thanks to high-quality details such as the three-dimensional temples and the use of 100% Beta Titanium. This creates soft lines and an eye-catching contrast between light and shadow that translates into a strong and distinctive look.
Also new for Autumn 2023 is the Motion collection, characterised by modern and linear shapes, emphasised by a play of chromatic contrasts. The hinge with an air space is inspired by the wheel rim of the Porsche 911 Turbo and embodies its lightness in terms of the materials. The combination of RXP high-performance plastic with stainless steel allows for maximum comfort, the company said.
The Motion series comprises two aviator-shaped optical frames and two sunglasses models – P'8963 and P'8968. All frames are available in four colour combinations.
With a sporty and dynamic design, the Blade series is a combination of high-quality stainless steel and RXP high-performance plastic, guaranteeing comfort owing to the light and stable materials. There are two new prescription frames and the P'8943 sunglasses model with a flat, oversized front piece featuring an angular design.
Meanwhile, the Air Spring collection has a clean and linear design with distinctive functional details, from its minimalist design language to the innovative Flex-Zone, which is described as a structure with an apparently simple aesthetic that allows for the superior flexibility of the temple and guarantees lightness, comfort and fit. The new P'8967 Squared Aviator sunglasses are available in four colour variants each and feature Vision Drive technology lenses.
