Andy Wolf expands Its AWearness collection with metal frames that redefine craft, function, and responsibility
In the world of eyewear, design often walks a fine line between aesthetics and engineering. But in the hands of Andy Wolf, it becomes something more: a statement of values. With the launch of its new AWearness metal collection, the Austrian brand takes a bold step forward—merging high-end design with sustainable innovation in a way that feels both natural and necessary.
AWearness, first introduced in 2021 with its acetate line, was never just about style. It was a manifesto. A commitment to thoughtful materials, modular construction, and circular design. Now, that vision expands—literally and philosophically—into the realm of metal. The new metal frames and clip-ons are more than accessories. They are precision-engineered objects, crafted from recycled monel and high-quality acetate renew, with every component designed to be replaceable, repairable, and ultimately recyclable. No glue. No permanent bonds. Just pure, considered design—down to the last screw.
The aesthetic is unmistakably Andy Wolf: minimalist yet expressive, classic yet progressive. While the acetate frames echo the silhouettes and colorways of the brand’s origins—a subtle homage to its roots—the metal additions bring a modern edge. Faceted surfaces, embossed patterns, and a striking attention to technical detail transform each piece into a tactile, three-dimensional object.
Nothing is hidden. On the contrary, hinges, temple inserts, and screws are celebrated as part of the visual identity. Each component is designed exclusively for this collection and sourced entirely in Europe—except for the titanium nose pads, precision-made in Japan. A signature pattern derived from the initials A and W subtly runs through the line, making an AWearness frame instantly recognizable—even without a logo. Available in four refined shades—rose gold, gold, black-silver, and gun matte—each model comes with a tailored clip-on sun lens that transforms the optical frame into a pair of elegant sunglasses in seconds. .
With AWearness, Andy Wolf doesn’t just offer a product—it offers a new standard. One where every detail matters, every material has a story, and every decision reflects a deep respect for the wearer and the world they inhabit.
