It's a jungle out there
The No Monkey Business collection is inspired by the '90s music scene and celebrates being dead serious about the arts. The house also describes it as a statement on an increasingly harsh environment and shrinking space. The Archipelagan Sky lens takes the colour of the sky reflected in the sea near Anna-Karin Karlsson's home in the Stockholm archipelago.
„We carry it in Gold, a gold frame with a gradient grey lens.“

Anna-Karin Karlsson
A Swedish house led by the designer and artist whose name it carries. After art school Anna-Karin Karlsson moved to London and learned the trade from the owners of Meyrowitz, one of the oldest optical houses; back in Sweden, she began making frames as pieces of jewellery. She works with 24-karat gold, white and rose gold, titanium, pearls, emeralds and hand-set crystals.
