Parasite x Factory900: A Franco-Japanese Collaboration Redefining Avant-Garde Eyewear

Factory900 has always excelled at carving out unconventional frame silhouettes, blending layered, dimensional structures with dynamic, fluid lines. On the other side, Parasite—founded in 2002 by French designer Hugo Martin—is renowned for its sci-fi, futuristic designs paired with innovative French eyewear craftsmanship that delivers a lightweight wearing experience, winning consecutive grand prizes at the International Optical Fair Tokyo (iOFT) from 2017 to 2019. This year, the two brands have joined forces to launch a brand-new collaborative collection, combining their bold innovation and exquisite craftsmanship to present an avant-garde masterpiece brimming with experimental spirit.

Titled “Parasite900,” the collaborative creation fuses Factory900’s signature sculpture-like, substantial dimensionality with Parasite’s hollowed-out structures and floating design aesthetics, shattering the traditional image of classic browline frames. The playful yet architecturally inspired acetate upper rim is paired with a delicate, intricately crafted metal lower semi-rim, delivering a striking visual impact.
