The Archetype Gallery: Shop by Persona

Forget scrolling through endless grids of generic frames- at Obsidian, we’ve redesigned the digital boutique to mirror the intentionality of an in-person styling session. By filtering our world-class collection into four distinct archetypes, we move beyond simple “shapes and sizes” to match your eyewear with your specific lifestyle, professional identity, and aesthetic ambition.

The Architect

You value structural integrity and intentional lines, seeking eyewear where minimalist form meets high-performance function.

The Maverick

You’re constantly in motion and demand gear that cuts through the noise, matching your high-speed, high-stakes lifestyle.

The Artist

You view the world as a canvas and your frames as a signature, gravitating toward bold colors and expressive silhouettes.

The Collector

You appreciate the heritage of the craft and seek out rare, limited pieces that tell a story of exclusivity and timeless quality.

Frames for The Architect

For the architect of their own reality. You demand eyewear that performs as beautifully as it looks. No excess, no logos- just the cold precision of Japanese titanium and the perfect tension of a well-engineered hinge. These are frames for those who understand that true luxury is mechanical perfection.

The Architect’s Palette

In design, clarity is everything. While gray lenses simply dim the light, Amber and Brown tints act as a “high-definition” filter for the eyes.

Layering a gradient amber tint over amber transitions offers a “best of both worlds” performance: the permanent tint provides an “always-on” aesthetic that kills office glare and sharpens digital contrast indoors, while the transition technology kicks in for high-impact UV protection on-site. Stylistically, it ensures your frames never look “blank” or medicinal, maintaining a sophisticated, cinematic warmth that seamlessly adapts from the drafting table to the sun.

A retro-futuristic fortress of Japanese acetate and titanium mesh, designed to offer architectural sanctuary for the visionary who looks beyond the horizon.

Akoni: Stargazer Sun

$950.00

Perfectly harmonizing classic and modern, Akoni’s Sprint-A builds upon inspirations from some of the 20th-Century’s greatest luxury designers. The sleek silhouette and sophisticated construction channel the distinctive spirit of Gérald Genta’s luxury watch designs. Perforated mini side shields riff on the impressive interiors that set apart the finest vintage sports cars. The frame’s adjustable temple system ensures a precision fit, while making very clear Akoni’s commitment to technical innovation.

Frames for The Maverick

For the untamed spirit. You don’t hide behind your lenses; you project through them. A collection defined by bold lines, heavy-gauge acetate, and a reverence for the golden age of rock & roll. Wear them with a leather jacket or a tuxedo- the attitude remains the same.

Why Polarization is Non-Negotiable

For “The Maverick,” life happens at high speed and high stakes- whether that’s navigating a glare-heavy commute, scouting a coastal build site, or losing yourself in a weekend drive. While standard tints just dim the light, polarized lenses act as a precision filter, cutting through the blinding horizontal reflections that bounce off asphalt, water, and glass.

For this persona, it’s not just about comfort; it’s about tactical clarity. Polarization eliminates the “visual noise” of the environment, allowing for sharper depth perception and saturated colors that a normal lens simply can’t reproduce. It’s the ultimate upgrade for the individual who demands a clear view of the road ahead, regardless of the conditions.

The definitive standard for the purist: 200 steps of American craftsmanship, finished in a silence-inducing matte silver.

Randolph: Satin Aviator

$349.00

The Randolph Aviator in Satin is the definition of understated authority. Unlike its high-polish counterparts, this matte, brushed finish is designed for pure utility, staying true to its cockpit roots where eliminating reflection and glare is a safety necessity. The jewelry-quality satin plating offers a sleek, industrial aesthetic that feels more like a precision instrument than a fashion accessory. It is the ultimate “stealth” look—hiding fingerprints, resisting wear, and delivering a raw, authentic vibe that speaks to those who prefer their luxury without the shine.

Frames for The Artist

For the visionary who refuses to live in monochrome. To you, eyewear is not a shield, but a signal. It is a stroke of paint on a blank canvas; a declaration of intent.

We have curated a collection where engineering meets emotion- frames forged from Italian acetates that mimic stained glass, hand-painted rims that catch the light, and silhouettes that defy convention. Do not just see the world; color it.

The Icon’s Filter: The Power of the Fashion Tint

Jeff Goldblum
Yara Shahidi
Bad Bunny
Jennifer Aniston
Pedro Pascal

A fashion tint serves as the ultimate cosmetic enhancer, acting like a permanent filter that adds depth and intention to your overall look. Beyond the frame itself, a subtle wash of color- whether a vintage yellow, cool lilac, or sophisticated rose- softens the face and brightens the eyes, masking fatigue while providing a polished, “finished” aesthetic even in indoor settings.

A study in shadow and form, the Denina captures the Obsidian ethos in its purest state: sleek, structural, and unapologetically distinct.

Midnight: Denina

Price range: $100.00 through $500.00

Introducing the Denina from the Midnight collection, a perfect blend of classic sophistication and modern detail. This elegant eyewear features an oversized, soft-square silhouette crafted from glossy black acetate, offering a bold and versatile look. The dark front is beautifully contrasted by slender, gold-toned metal temples, which are finished with a chic, geometric black and white triangle accent for a contemporary touch. The Denina is a statement piece that effortlessly elevates any style.

Frames for The Collector

For The Collector, eyewear is an investment in legacy and rare artistry, not just a functional necessity. This archetype seeks the extraordinary, finding their match in the intricate, jewelry-like opulence of Sospiri and the architectural, Swiss-Japanese mastery of Akoni. It is a pursuit of the limited-run masterpiece-frames defined by technical perfection, exclusive materials, and the knowledge that they are wearing something truly unique.

Material Provenance

Collectors look for the “origin story” of the components- whether it’s Japanese acetate that has been cured for decades to prevent warping, or hypoallergenic titanium sourced from the same suppliers as high-end watchmakers.

Micro-Engineering & Construction

They obsess over the tactile mechanics, such as Akoni’s knurled coin-edge detailing or OVVO’s screwless hinge mechanisms that feel substantial and smooth, signaling durability and precision.
