Bio Designs
Koali's latest collection takes wearers to the watery depths of the Atlantic Ocean with new optical models inspired by the axinella: a colorful sea sponge. Available in five eye shapes—four rimmed frames and one semi-rimless front—Axinelle draws on contrasts. It is offered in a range of colors, and the injected plastic temples have a plant-like appearance with a velvet-textured colored elastomer that hugs the temples, imitating the form of an axinella sea sponge.
