da Sangallo

Inspired by architect Giuliano Giamberti da Sangallo, an eminent figure of the early Renaissance, as well as a fortification engineer, sculptor, woodworker, modeller, surveyor, and scholar of antiquities. An ideal successor to Brunelleschi and Alberti, he played a pivotal role in the innovative introduction themes that would prove critical to the works of Bramante, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Palladio. He was responsible for designing the Villa of Poggio a Caiano as commissioned by Lorenzo the Magnificent. There, he first introduced the typical pediment of ancient temples on the facade of a civil building, profoundly influencing classicist architecture in the centuries to come. He is the progenitor of a prolific dynasty of architects and builders who, with his nephew, Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, played a decisive role in the construction of St. Peter’s Basilica and, among other works, the Farnese Palace in Rome.

Bio-acetate: the frame is made of bio acetate M49 Mazzucchelli , fully recyclable and biodegradable, without chemical agglomerates to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. Its natural origin is also apparent to the touch thanks to its pleasant, warm, and silky effect.
Front frame: the compact design, with a softened and gently lowered shape at the top, gives the front the pleasant, composed allure of timeless classics.
Temples: the oar-style temples owe their name to the shape that resembles a rowing oar. The earpiece temple tip is pierced with an “O” inspired by Good’s logo.
