A Study In Timeless Design

Archive No.1 — Olive is the founding frame of the 1971 Studio collection.

Designed around proportion, balance, and restraint, it reflects our belief that the best eyewear doesn't demand attention—it earns it over time.

Finished in a deep Olive tone with dark lenses, Archive No.1 combines vintage inspiration with contemporary minimalism. The result is a versatile everyday frame that feels equally at home in the city, by the coast, or years from now.

No oversized logos.

No seasonal trends.

Just thoughtful design, built to last.

Limited to 100 pieces worldwide, this release will not be restocked. Once sold out, Archive No.1 becomes part of the permanent 1971 Studio archive.

Why Archive No.1?

Its balanced proportions and refined detailing make it a frame you'll reach for every day—not because it's loud, but because it works effortlessly with everything.

Designed for daily wear.

Built for years of use.

Made to become familiar.
