Anne et Valentin’s new Bakkélite series is a celebration of material intelligence, graphic strength, and timeless design. Drawing inspiration from early industrial materials, this collection reinterprets the spirit of Bakkélite through a modern lens, resulting in frames that feel both nostalgic and unmistakably contemporary.

The Bakkélite series is defined by its confident shapes and sculptural presence. These frames feature bold contours, rich depth, and a satisfying sense of structure that makes them instantly recognizable. There’s a quiet authority to the designs, a refined confidence that doesn’t rely on excess but instead lets form and proportion do the talking.

Color plays a crucial role in this collection. Anne et Valentin uses deep, saturated tones alongside softened neutrals, creating frames that feel grounded yet expressive. The finishes evoke warmth and substance, giving each model a tactile quality that invites closer inspection. This is eyewear designed to be noticed, not shouted.

Despite their architectural appearance, Bakkélite frames are surprisingly comfortable. Every detail is carefully engineered to balance visual weight with day-long wearability. The result is eyewear that feels solid without heaviness, bold without compromise. These frames sit beautifully on the face, enhancing features while maintaining harmony and ease.

As always, craftsmanship is at the heart of the collection. Produced in trusted workshops using high-quality materials, the Bakkélite series reflects Anne et Valentin’s commitment to precision, durability, and thoughtful production. Each frame is made to age gracefully, developing character over time.

At Matador Eyeworks, we’re excited to showcase the Anne et Valentin Bakkélite series for those who appreciate design with substance. This collection is ideal for individuals drawn to strong silhouettes, intelligent design, and eyewear that feels as meaningful as it looks. With Bakkélite, Anne et Valentin proves once again that great design is built from the inside out.
