Presenting the RG1941ZC ‘Z-Goggle’ by RIGARDS x Ziggy Chen. Resurrecting the spirit of 80s alpine goggles, RG1941ZC has a directional yet easy edge. This titanium frame features ‘staircasing’ stepped curves, a signature architectural element that demonstrates evolutionary continuity to the preceding instalment in the collaborative series. The stepped profiles fan out onto the side shields, their slight undulation further articulating the geometric presence and creating subtle shadow-play. Double-sided guilloché flourish on the temples enhances grip and lessens slipping from desired positions, the characteristic texture again circling back to the overarching imagery of nāgas and serpents. Distinguished by their unapologetic yet never-overpowering aesthetic and tangible joie de vivre and united by their privileging of nature-derived materials and comfort-focused technical approach, these works together reflect the foundations of authenticity undergirding the art of RIGARDS and Ziggy Chen. Every pair is as unique as your fingerprint.
