The Optical Foundry introduces its refreshed Seraphin brand identity and new spring 2026 collection. The release includes unisex styles that continue the independent brand’s tradition of lush palettes and curated craftsmanship. Crafted with Japanese precision, frames are inspired by the lavish country estates of England and the contemporary townhomes of New York City to create finely tailored and uniquely crafted eyewear.
“Seraphin has always lived at the intersection of heritage and modern life,” says designer and Chief Creative Officer David Duralde. “This collection reflects that balance: classic proportions, refined materials, and a sense of permanence that feels just as relevant and tasteful today as it will years from now.”
Strong silhouettes in both premium acetate and metals can be seen throughout the collection, with standout styles such as Chatham, Palmer, and Sandell.
Read on to learn more about these unisex optical styles and how they continue to represent the legacy of the Seraphin brand.

Seraphin Sandell
Architectural precision defines Seraphin style Sandell with its geometric square lens shape that creates an added dimension.
