Material and Shapes – Blackfin One Sun SS26

For the Spring/Summer 2026 season, Blackfin expands its One Sun line with three styles that interpret sunwear as an authentic titanium architecture – frames that express the brand’s character and portray an assertive, sophisticated mood.

Iron Harbor, Coronado and Sandy Hook are the product of a clear design vision: begin with the material to arrive at the form. Every frame is cut from a single block of titanium and takes shape through a painstaking process that creates sculpted geometries and three-dimensional configurations. Delicate milling allows the contours to emerge naturally from the material, along with complex textures, finishes and hand-fashioned gradient colourways that convey an aesthetic language in which technology and design dialogue in perfect harmony.

Three Frames, Three Personalities

In both Iron Harbor and Coronado, the front extends across dual planes to produce a striking shape-within-a-shape effect – the former more squared and the latter more rounded. The bridge introduces a distinct shift, as if a mask were overlaid on the structure creating a deep, almost spatial, perceptible dimension. Artisan craftsmanship intensifies the interplay between solids and voids, and the gradient lenses transform the frame into a visually striking design object.

Sandy Hook, on the other hand, interprets this exploration with a softer, more feminine elegance. Colour nuances radiate from the bridge toward the edges of the front, defined by an elegant round shape, lending visual lightness to the structure and creating a refined effect of brightness. The result is a frame with a strong material presence that, however, conveys a sense of ethereal fluidity.

All Blackfin models are conceived and produced inside the Black Shelter, the company’s sustainable headquarters in the heart of the Dolomites, where every phase of the process takes place internally, following an ethical approach that combines technological innovation, social responsibility, and a deep cultural connection to the area.
