Nestled in the picturesque, Italian Alpine town of Agordo, Blackin have been making high quality eyewear since the company was founded by Maria Pramaor in 1971. At a time when most frames were made from ordinary metal or plastic, Maria set out to create something different from their competitors and pioneer the use of titanium, known for it ultra-lightweight, durable and flexible properties.
Everything Blackfin creates is conceived and produced in Italy. A Blackfin model is unique because of how it is made; each one is the fruit of the technical expertise and the creative vocation of generations of men and women dedicated to producing a work of art. A Blackfin model starts life as a concept, which then becomes a sketch, eventually being transformed into a prototype. On the way there are technical tests, colour-matching experiments and endless adjustments until we arrive at an object that is both technically and aesthetically superb.
