MELCHIOR col.Vanta

"MELCHIOR" is the result of a collaboration between Jacques Marie Mage and global designer Haider Ackermann. These sunglasses combine a horizontally elongated square shape, evocative of Bob Dylan's iconic style, with Ackermann's sophisticated sensibility and rebellious spirit.

The front features a wide silhouette, with a shortened vertical height relative to its 54mm lens width. The upper brow line is finished with bold, beveled cuts, creating three-dimensional shadows along its linear contours.

The front, crafted from 10mm thick acetate, is characterized by a polished luster and substantial volume. Sculptural cuts are also applied to the temples, creating a taut, cohesive form that flows from the front to the sides.

The outer temples feature polished black metal accents inspired by a "voyage" theme. The inner side reveals a custom-made silver palladium-finished core wire with delicate engravings, complemented by black 7-barrel hinges featuring a hairline finish. Furthermore, the design is packed with details unique to this collaboration, such as Haider Ackermann’s signature foil-stamped in silver on the inside of the temples.

The "VANTA" colorway features a glossy black front, with a layered design of clear gray on the outer side and black on the inner side. While rooted in a deep black base, light reveals the transparency of the clear gray and the silver core wire, creating a depth not found in a solid monochromatic black.

The lenses utilize "ULTRA BLACK MIRROR," featuring an intense black hue with a mirror-like sheen. These 2-base Armorlite lenses are treated with an anti-reflective coating on the back, and their deep tint with 6% visible light transmission further accentuates the sharp architecture of the frame.

This is a special, limited-edition piece of 450 units worldwide, where Haider Ackermann's modern aesthetic intersects with the exquisite craftsmanship of JMM.
