The VANNI Extra model has won the prestigious 2025 Silmo d'Or award in the “Eyewear Brand” category, recognizing the excellence of Italian design and the uncompromising creativity of the Turin-based brand. This award crowns a bold and sculptural eyewear piece that reflects exceptional craftsmanship.
VANNI Extra stands out with a bold design: a thick frame sculpted from a single 8 mm acetate block, featuring integrated nose pads. The faceted cuts reduce the visual mass from the front while preserving a strong structure and lightweight feel. This unisex shape speaks to a generation looking for bold yet wearable styles.
VANNI Extra embodies the brand’s signature fusion of Italian craftsmanship and contemporary language. Its architectural lines, deliberate thickness, and refined finishes reveal a durable and aesthetic vision of eyewear, far beyond seasonal trends.
The frame is cut from a single piece of acetate, ensuring formal continuity from the front to the temples. Faceted edges lighten the visual impact while maintaining a sculptural presence. The palette includes transparent, desaturated tones with subtle hints of classic havana, balancing modernity and timelessness.
The Silmo d'Or rewards innovation, creativity, and boldness in eyewear. VANNI Extra perfectly embodies these qualities with a striking design, real comfort, technical rigor, and a strong visual identity. It is both a statement piece and a testament to Italian optical excellence.
Winning the Silmo d'Or in the “Eyewear Brand” category highlights not just product excellence, but also a broader creative vision. This recognition reinforces VANNI’s central role in the independent eyewear scene and its commitment to a proudly Made in Italy approach.
Because it marks a turning point: international recognition of a bold Italian-made eyewear piece that merges innovation, aesthetic strength, and generational relevance. VANNI Extra isn’t just an accessory—it’s a design statement.
