It references the 14 highest peaks in the world, with an altitude greater than 8000 meters above sea level. These peaks are also known as the eight-thousanders or "gli Ottomila". The collection “8000 METRI” is inspired by the mountaineers of the 1930’s, pioneers on expeditions towards unexplored frontiers. With eyewear crafted by hand using the highest quality flat glass lens and function broken down to the essentials, they dared the sun and its reflections.
