Brand History
Akoni was founded in Switzerland by a diverse team from across the globe, united by a singular vision: to redefine luxury eyewear. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in the meticulous approach: choosing only the finest designs, materials, craftsmanship, technologies, and care. The name “Akoni,” derived from Latin meaning “priceless” and “worthy of admiration,” embodies the rigorous standards and aspirations of the brand.
Reflecting its unwavering commitment to traditional craftsmanship, Akoni collaborates with some of Japan’s most esteemed artisans to create each frame. Using the finest materials and integrating revered techniques from Japan’s rich Arts & Crafts heritage, such as Japanese Joinery, Kiriko Glass, knife-making, and Shodo, Akoni draws inspiration from both historical and innovative practices. This dedication ensures that each frame is a testament to Japan’s storied craftsmanship while continually advancing the art of beauty.
