Why Choose Akoni?
-
Innovative Designs: Akoni blends Swiss precision with Japanese artistry, offering frames that are as visually striking as they are functional. Each Akoni frame is thoughtfully designed, featuring bold lines and elegant details that cater to both contemporary and classic tastes.
-
Akoni Acetate: Akoni’s commitment to environmentally friendly materials underlies its use of cellulose acetate (zyl) from Japan. Unlike plastic—a petroleum-based product— zyl is made from renewable wood and cotton-based materials. Akoni’s Japanese zyl is universally regarded as the world’s finest because of its unmatched density, strength, beauty, luster, and ability to maintain its shape/resist shrinkage over time. Even after years of use, Akoni’s zyl frames can be re-polished to look and feel like new.
-
Akoni Titanium: Titanium eyewear was little more than a dream until the 1980’s when Japan pioneered the technology necessary to craft titanium into super-strong, featherweight frames. Hypoallergenic, similar in weight to aluminum but twice as strong, and stronger than steel at about half its weight—titanium is the ideal material for crafting high-end eyewear. But not all titanium is created equal and the world’s finest is still available exclusively in Japan. Designed for a lifetime of use, Akoni’s titanium frames are virtually indestructible.
