Understated and precise design

October 23, 2025 Staff reporters

Drawing inspiration from the four cardinal points, symbols of orientation, balance and escape, Talla’s new collection, The Four, is like an aesthetic map-making exercise.

The models, North, South, East and West, share a strong identity, with four riveted points on the front evoking symbolic markers and transparent contours around the lenses, creating a sense of floating lightness, the company said. The Four includes four optical frames and four sunglasses, each offered in four curated shades.
