Das Model - A tribute to the synth-pop German band, Kraftwerk (1978) considered pioneers of electronic music, these unique sunglasses are simultaneously glam and romantic, fashion and delicate.

In PORTRAIT ® we care about creating the best quality handmade eyewear with original design. All our frames are the result of the experimentation of form, materials, craftsmanship and Art-driven inspiration.

The Art-Fakt series to which this specific eyewear belongs have been inspired in retro futurism. The vision of a post industrial future that, in different art fields, permeated aesthetics and functionality.

The future is often conceived by a limited yet provocative technological illusion, it arrives where our mind does, a challenging place that’s feasible but most probably inaccurate. In such exercise art is born, and so is poetry, philosophy, utopia and dystopia.

For PORTRAIT this means minimalistic shapes, clean geometries, flat colours and mechanic joints that express function. The search for ergonomicisy and the intentional aesthetic only relatable to innovation.
