👓 Vanni Eyewear - Giovanni Vitaloni - SILMO d’Or 2025 winner
Recognised in the Optical Frame Design category, Vanni’s winning frame blends striking geometry with subtle craftsmanship. From afar it appears light and minimalist — up close, it reveals intricate details and deep technical precision. A perfect balance of design, comfort and timeless style.
🎨 Yiannis Makridis / For Art’s Sake × The National Gallery
A collaboration where art literally meets eyewear. Two iconic paintings — Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and Monet’s Water Lilies — are fused into transparent acetate, turning each pair into wearable art. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, beautifully packaged and designed to be kept, not discarded.
⛵ Pierre Maruzzi / Grain de Sail Logistics – at Le Spot RSE
Sustainability with the wind behind it. Cargo sailboats transporting goods — including optical products — across the Atlantic with zero emissions. A poetic and practical step towards a cleaner, more responsible supply chain.
💡 David McLaughlin / EverySight – at Le Village Tech
Creators of the world’s lightest, slimmest AR and AI glasses. Combining high-performance technology with genuine wearability, their “glasses-first” approach makes smart eyewear truly functional — from live translation to real-time data displays.
An episode full of innovation, artistry and imagination — recorded live from SILMO Paris 2025, where creativity and technology meet to shape the eyewear of tomorrow.
