Founded in Switzerland in 2020, Akoni Eyewear was born from the vision of an international team united by a shared ambition: to redefine the concept of luxury eyewear through a rigorous and contemporary approach. The name Akoni, derived from Latin and meaning “priceless” and “worthy of admiration,” encapsulates the essence of the brand, which is built on a constant pursuit of excellence. Each Akoni creation is the result of a perfect balance between intelligent design and honest luxury, expressed through the dialogue between Swiss Precision and Japanese Artistry.

Japanese craftsmanship and a culture of detail
Production takes place in Japan, in collaboration with world-renowned master artisans who preserve and elevate time-honored techniques rooted in the country’s rich Arts & Crafts heritage, from joinery and Kiriko glasswork to an uncompromising attention to detail that transforms each frame into a timeless object.
A natural affinity with the Chalet’s alpine lifestyle
This same dedication to quality, performance, and beauty creates a natural affinity with Chalet Franz Kraler – Club Moritzino, an iconic destination that embodies a refined alpine lifestyle where elegance, sport, and experiential culture seamlessly converge.
Altitude Series: performance and lifestyle, from slopes to après-ski
The connection between Akoni and the Chalet finds its most emblematic expression in the Altitude Series, a capsule inspired by the mountains, the Olympic spirit, and a dynamic yet sophisticated way of life, designed to accompany those who experience high altitude with ease, from on-slope performance to après-ski moments. The collection merges iconic design with advanced technology through high-performance lenses developed in Switzerland, engineered to meet the visual demands of extreme alpine conditions while maintaining a refined and contemporary aesthetic.
A partnership that celebrates authentic experiences
The partnership between Akoni and Chalet Franz Kraler thus represents the meeting of like-minded worlds that speak to connoisseurs of excellence, lovers of beauty, and individuals in search of authentic experiences beyond the product itself. Through curated events and activations in iconic locations such as Cortina, this collaboration celebrates a conscious vision of exclusivity rooted in craftsmanship, innovation, and passion, where every detail becomes an expression of style and every experience a lasting memory.
