N° 04 — Goliath — Toronto, 1990

Heavyweight
optical.

Built in Toronto from solid blocks of Italian acetate, Goliath frames are architectural objects you happen to wear on your face. The naming convention — Goliath I, II, XLV, XLIX, Hercules — is deliberate: each piece is a numbered entry in a single catalog that has run, mostly unchanged, since 1990.

No fashion-cycle releases. No collaborations. The same Roman-numeral system, the same Toronto workshop, the same overbuilt hinges. Hand-finished, not stamped.
