Metropolis-inspired eyewear handcrafted from Japanese acetate and titanium.
NIRVAN JAVAN is a Swiss designer eyewear brand founded in 2015 by Nirvan Javan, an optician of Persian origin. He established the company with his childhood friend, Patrick Zweifel, who serves as CFO. Javan's background as a trained optician and his multicultural upbringing in Switzerland shaped the brand's core philosophy of cosmopolitanism and purist design.
The company designs premium optical and sunglass frames characterized by minimalist aesthetics, clean lines, and timeless shapes. Each collection is inspired by a specific global metropolis, such as Tokyo, London, Paris, and Toronto, aiming to capture the architectural and cultural essence of the city. The model names correspond to times in the respective city's time zone, reinforcing the cosmopolitan theme.
The business operates in the premium eyewear segment, producing its frames in Japan using high-quality materials like Japanese acetate and titanium to ensure precision and durability. The brand primarily distributes its products through a network of partner opticians, which includes over 300 retailers and established chains. Since its founding, the company has sold over 55,000 eyewear models, generating more than CHF 5.5 million in revenue and experiencing an average sales growth of 38% between 2020 and 2022.
