the spring 2020 SPHERE collection by philippe starck features a SPHERE hinge, which has no screws or welds, therefore offering unique multidirectional freedom of movement, a natural evolution of the biolink® collection. thanks to its design, SPHERE allows the starck biotech paris collection to offer an original range of ultra-lightweight frames, that combines slim titanium temples and injected frame fronts made with the gravity evo® high-tech polymer.

including 5 glasses and sunglasses models, the spring 2020 sphere collection comes in complementary shapes that range from the iconic rectangle to the more vintage-inspired designs. each model in the SPHERE collection is presented in an exclusive case covered in an eco-friendly material, 50% of which is derived from apple fibers.
