SPHERE TITANIUM (STARCK BIOTECH PARIS)

SPRING/SUMMER 2021 COLLECTION: TITANIUM – SOLVING THE PARADOX BETWEEN ULTIMATE STRENGTH AND EXTREME LIGHTNESS


“In the longterm design will join one of the most fundamental lines of our evolution, which is dematerialization” PH.S


At the heart of Starck Biotech Paris's philosophy is Bionism: the intersection of technology and humanity, technology and nature, as the concept of taking inspiration from the organic to create technologies better suited for the human being, because “the closer you get to the human body, the less you can lie, the less matter we can use. We can only go to the minimum to reach the elegance of intelligence.” Ph.S

 

The Titanium Collection (SS 2021), the brand’s aim is to elevate its two already successful patented articulations, the BIOLINK® and the SPHERE®. The goal is to transmit the thinnest and lightest expression of a high-tech material: Titanium. A central and unifying theme between the two technologies that wants, not only to raise the product’s quality, but also to be a vehicle of the pivotal Starck’s message where the most is given by the least.


Launched in November 2019, SPHERE® is a new revolutionary and exclusive articulation, composed of 0,07g steel ball connecting ultrathin titanium temples and injected front in exclusive High-Tech polymer Gravity Evo®. Thanks to its minimalistic conception, without screws nor soldering, the Sphere technology allows an organic freedom of movement and a unique lightness – each frame only weights less than 15 grams.

 

For this new collection, the innovation lies in the articulation placed on the temples, thus being able to open up new perspectives in terms of lightness allowing the use of an ultrathin titanium structure.
