FRAMING VISIONARIES
Inspired by a story that has been told by many visionaries, a story taught to our scholars, and a story that unveiled our intrepid pioneers and astronomers. Akoni turned to the place where it all began. Where our sense of curiosity was born, and our drive to reach the boundary of human capability was discovered to be infinite.
FEATURING SEAN BEAN
Sean Bean
Actor, storyteller, and Yorkshire gentleman, Sean Bean embodies quiet strength, authenticity, and timeless presence. Known for his depth, humility, and commitment to craft, he carries a rare blend of vulnerability and authority that defines both his life and work.
Photographed by Rankin for HUNGER Magazine, he wears Akoni’s Hercules, Perseus, and Iras frames, designs that reflect his quiet authority and understated sophistication. Through his work, both on screen and in life, Bean brings honesty, grounded humour, and quiet insight, leaving a mark on every story he tells.
HERCULES
Hercules is bold and masculine, inspired by the powerful silhouettes of luxury watches and legendary Italian screen icons. Innovative side shields create a subtle play of texture and color, capturing strength and refined taste with effortless authority.
PERSEUS
Evoking strength, courage, and clarity of vision, its modern Caravan silhouette, sculpted temples, and luminous acetate convey confidence and presence. The design reflects precision, depth, and timeless style.
IRAS
Celebrating discovery and fearless style, Iras blends acetate and titanium for lightweight durability. Sculpted front lines, an open bridge, and aerodynamic temples combine technical mastery with elegance, reflecting subtle sophistication and bold energy.
“You don’t have to tell everybody everything at once. You see it develop and you’re captivated by it.”
