Clear-cut details, aerodynamic shapes, and flawless execution ensure a sophisticated and elegant appearance of the eyewear without extra decoration. Another advantage of the brand is that many of the designs are based on the features of the famous sports cars produced by Porsche, taking lines, components, and aerodynamics from a car to make state-of-the-art modern eyeglasses.

The use of advanced materials plays a significant role in the design of PORSCHE DESIGN eyeglasses. Titanium is commonly used in manufacturing for its properties of strength, durability, and low weight, while the RXP® high-performance material allows the brand to produce light and flexible parts of the frame. Use of stainless steel and premium acetate provides excellent opportunities in terms of design, with frames reflecting a great variety of shapes and structures. Many optical frames are made from two or more materials which allows their designers to find the right stability-comfort balance. A variety of perfectly engineered hinges, adjustable temple parts, and nose pads enhance comfort of the eyeglasses.
