THE STORY SO FAR : RETROSUPERFUTURE

Starting from a classic, clean silhouette, RETROSUPERFUTURE has gradually built up their impressive collection, currently comprising of a long list of timeless yet cutting edge shapes. Silhouettes like the Flat Top, Ciccio, América, W, or distinctly feminine models like the Lucia and Drew, have become staples of RETROSUPERFUTURE’s collections and a continuous source of inspiration and playful interpretation by the brand’s creative team.

THE GOAL

Since its inception, RETROSUPERFUTURE’s goal was to develop high quality eyewear, with a distinctive design at an affordable price. RETROSUPERFUTURE’s founder Daniel Beckerman explains the initial idea that has since guided the brand’s every choice: “All the companies that were in the market were developing boring eyewear. I kept looking at all the experimental independent clothing brands and wondered why no one had yet dared to develop a quirky, bold line of eyewear.

I wanted to design sunglasses that all my friends would love to wear: fresh, hip and stylish, without necessarily compromising the quality. Also, I think the success of a business is never done by a single person but with the collaboration between talented people, and I have been so lucky to be surrounded by many, such as my brother Simon, from which I have learned so much, and the precious collaboration of Sean Beolchini, but also many other great people that believed in my ideas.”

PARTNERSHIPS

In fact, RETROSUPERFUTURE, entirely handmade in Italy, had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the world’s best eyewear manufacturers and experiment with new production techniques, finishings, materials and detailing, while also adding a layer of quality eye-protection by teaming up with the exclusive German lens company ZEISS. Currently, each new RETROSUPERFUTURE collection, consists of a selection and interpretation of their classic silhouettes, developed through constant research of new atmospheres, references, materials, finishings, colors, textures and shapes. RETROSUPERFUTURE’s roster also includes the groundbreaking Visiva collection, a series of seasonal and collectable sunglasses with experimental and printed acetates, also developed in collaboration with renowned artists; as well as a young and growing Optical, a line of classy but ultimately comfortable glasses for an all-day everyday use.
