Vasuma Eyewear has just unveiled a game-changing collaboration that brings together design, architecture, and eyewear in a truly unique way.
Teaming up with the legendary architect Gert Wingårdh, his son Rasmus, and their visionary company Wingårdh & Wingårdh, Vasuma presents three striking eyewear models that blend architectural finesse with modern fashion.
“Gert’s persona is strongly associated with his distinctive glasses, and that became the starting point for this collection. Creating a new ‘Gert frame’ felt natural.”
But this collection is not just about one frame – it’s a trio of architectural masterpieces. Each model reflects Gert’s architectural genius, balancing the contrast between sharp lines and soft curves. The matte fronts paired with sleek, polished temples give the frames a modern edge, while the subtle engraved project logo adds a touch of exclusivity.
“We’ve focused intensely on perfecting every detail – from the feel of the frames to the use of high-end components like 5-barrel hinges and eco-friendly Mazzucchelli M49 acetate.”
This collaboration was destined to happen. When Gert and Rasmus launched Wingårdh & Wingårdh two years ago, eyewear was one of the first product lines they wanted to explore – after all, Gert Wingårdh is practically synonymous with standout glasses. A chance meeting between Rasmus and Jan Vana, who happened to be neighbors, sealed the deal. Sometimes, the stars align perfectly to create something extraordinary, and this collaboration is a testament to that magic.
These aren’t just glasses – they’re architectural statements, designed for those who appreciate bold design and meticulous craftsmanship. Get ready to see the world through a new lens, courtesy of Vasuma and the Wingårdh legacy.
Vasuma // Wingårdh & Wingårdh Model 1
The Vasuma x Wingårdh & Wingårdh collection takes eyewear to a whole new level with two sleek and stylish color options: classic black and sophisticated smokey ash. Handcrafted with precision in Italy, these frames are made from Mazzucchelli’s eco-friendly M49 acetate, blending sustainability with cutting-edge design. Durability is guaranteed, thanks to the robust 5-barrel hinges that ensure long-lasting quality.

The black frames feature an elegant matte finish, extending seamlessly from the front to the temples, offering a bold yet understated look. Both colorways are elevated with intricate details, including the exclusive project logo engraved on the top of the frame and Vasuma’s iconic 3D Cobra symbol on the temple tips, adding a distinctive signature touch to each pair.

To complete the experience, every pair comes with a premium protective case and a polishing cloth, ensuring your eyewear stays in pristine condition. These frames are more than just accessories—they’re a statement of style, craftsmanship, and innovation.
”To me, Vasuma is one of the best contemporary independent eyewear brands, with an exceptional sense of quality and craftsmanship, and a high standard for sustainability. It was really obvious to me who we should work with.”
