Blackfin introduces Aero Loop, finalist at Silmo d’Or 2024, a true revolution in the world of rimless eyewear. Lightweight, cutting-edge technology and an entirely modernized aesthetic flow together in total harmony, redefining contemporary minimalism. Forged from a single block of titanium, the sophisticated design of these frames ensures they are incredibly strong and at the same time so light as to be almost imperceptible.
Aero Loop embodies minimalism in its purest form – almost invisible, they are the first rimless frames to incorporate a titanium micro-hinge (inspired by rivets used in the aeronautical industry) hidden behind a patented lens fastener and dual circular lens holes, not visible from the side. This innovative design eliminates any protrusion on the front, making them almost disappear on the face while delivering a sophisticated, modern aesthetic and at the same time guaranteeing strength and lasting durability. Underlying their apparent simplicity is an extremely complex development process in which every detail undergoes meticulous research.
The Blackfin Aero Loop collection offers countless possibilities for personalization. With 40 different lens shapes, two bridge sizes and four temple designs available in 40 colorways, more than 50,000 combinations are possible, perfect for every face type and personality.
The Aero Loop color lineup is a true masterpiece of unique, elegant shades, the result of decades of research and experience. Some colors are applied by hand with artisan precision, others leverage Nano-Plating technology for an impeccable finish, while anodization lends bright, polished hues. Thanks to their state-of-the-art adjustability, the soft medical-grade silicone LitePads nose pads, and the easily adaptable inclination and length of the temples, the Aero Loop styles guarantee perfect fit and wearability on any face.
The innovation embodied in the Blackfin Aero Loop design was recognized by the Silmo d’Or jury that named the eyewear as one of the finalists in the "Technological Innovation in Eyewear" category. With this nomination, the jury highlighted the company’s focus on creativity, innovation and commitment to excellence.
All Blackfin products are made in-house in Italy at the Black Shelter Sustainable Factory, based on neomadeinitaly values.
