Komono continues to expand its visual and conceptual universe with Mycelium, the second drop within its 2026 “Super Nature” theme, a project that delves into the idea of connection as both a natural phenomenon and a cultural narrative. Rooted in the hidden intelligence of fungal networks, the collection takes inspiration from mycelium—the underground web that links plants and organisms in a silent, symbiotic exchange—and translates this invisible system into a tangible design language.

In this drop, Komono shifts the gaze beneath the surface, away from the immediately visible, toward a deeper layer of interdependence. The reference is not merely aesthetic but philosophical: mycelium becomes a metaphor for contemporary life, where individuality exists within a broader, interconnected framework. The “Super Nature” theme, which underpins the collection, imagines an amplified reality in which nature’s forms are heightened through color and design. Drawing from the psychedelic optimism of the 1960s and ’70s, KOMONO blends retro-futuristic references with contemporary sensibilities. This manifests through rich, earthy tones and unexpected color combinations—Wine Cap, Blue Gill, Rustgill Rouge—paired with sculptural acetate constructions that emphasize tactility and depth.

The collection comprises six sunglasses and four optical frames, each named after fungal species, reinforcing the conceptual thread while giving each piece a distinct personality. Models like Shaggy Spore and Enoki play with proportion and surface, while the Morel and Chanterelle variations explore subtle shifts in color and silhouette. Polarized lenses and carefully considered dimensions underline KOMONO’s commitment to functionality, ensuring that the conceptual narrative does not come at the expense of everyday wearability.
