Rigards, the Swedish eyewear atelier, releases a limited edition iteration of its enduring Mad Scientist collection, crafted in collaboration with Optika Oculto. Since its introduction in 2018, the collection has evolved through seasonal variations, each marking a distinct moment in the brand’s exploration of form, proportion and material.
This particular edition carries the hallmarks that define Rigards’ fifteen years of refinement: a rounded lens profile rendered in soft grey tones, metal temples that extend into slender cable arms finished in oxidised silver, and an architectural balance between boldness and restraint. The frames rest with quiet authority, their geometry speaking to the meticulous attention that characterises every piece from the house.
The collaboration with Optika Oculto, located in Croatia, reflects Rigards’ commitment to working with selected partners who share its values of craft and considered design. Each seasonal evolution of the Mad Scientist collection has introduced its own vocabulary while maintaining the collection’s core identity, a discipline that separates serious eyewear design from the ephemeral.
Those drawn to the collection may visit Optika Oculto to examine the frames in person and discuss the specifics of this release with their knowledgeable team.
