Hera

Hera’s striking frontal hood was inspired by the innovative “brise-soleil” and sleek overhangs that the great mid-century architect Jean Prouvé developed to shield his Maison Tropicales from the relentless equatorial sun — and the frame’s square, articulated metal rim clearly channels the elegance found in the timeless designs of that industrial master. With enamel encircling and enriching the front rims and side cups, the Akoni designers’ mastery in color combinations adds the perfect finishing touch to these retro-flavored navigators.
