Brand heritage

Porsche Design was founded in 1972 by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, designer of the Porsche 911. From 1978 its eyewear was made under licence by the Austrian maker Carrera, and the Carrera Porsche Design frames of the late 1970s and 1980s, with their clean engineered lines, are now sought-after collector pieces.
