Art-inspired shades to enhance your everyday look.

MoMA Exclusive: These sunglasses are the result of our collaboration with LA eyewear brand Akila and the estate of Henri Matisse, an artist who has work in MoMA’s collection. This special-edition version of Akila’s chunky Apollo frames features a pattern from 1953’s The Sheaf (La Gerbe) which depicts colorful leaf-like shapes. Each pair is handmade from eco-conscious, biodegradable acetate Matisse’s signature, the Akila logo and the MoMA logo are all engraved onto the temples of this style that was made just for us. Each pair comes with a matching microfiber lens cloth and puff pouch. The Henri Matisse La Gerbe Akila Sunglasses have a frame that measures 1.93h x 5.79”w with temples that measure 6.25”l.

Why We Chose This
We're always looking for ways to bring the work of MoMA artists into your everyday. For these sunglasses, details from some of Henri Matisse's celebrated works create an artful style statement. While the work is composed of simple shapes—Matisse was aware of their "apparent simplicity"—the artist labored exactingly to achieve the "art of balance, of purity and serenity." Matisse's work has been featured in hundred of MoMA exhibitions, including Henri Matisse: A Retrospective (1992–1993) and Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs (2014–2015).
