The Bugatti Tourbillon: a supreme feat of hypercar engineering, opening a new chapter in the story of the legendary French marque. It is a chapter defined by peerless performance – but, in equal measure, ultimate elegance and luxury. As the Tourbillon advances with purpose while etching its name into automotive history, the spirit of timeless style is reflected yet further in the latest creations of Bugatti Eyewear – revealing its boldest collection to-date, in the forward-looking forum of SILMO 2025 in Paris.
Prior to the collection’s public debut at the world’s foremost hub of optical innovation, discerning guests received the opportunity to attend a private viewing at Luxury Living Paris, amidst a showcase of pieces from the Bugatti Home Collection, as the brand’s valued partner.
A fitting tribute to the unrivaled savoir-faire of the City of Light, the new collection illuminates the path to ‘A New Era of Design’. Led by Sascha Koettig – the CEO of OBI, Bugatti’s trusted eyewear partner – a world-class team of designers redefined the essence of Bugatti Eyewear. The brand’s portfolio has been reshaped with a bold new visual identity that fuses meticulous technical mastery with timeless elegance. Inspired by the exceptional beauty and allure of the Tourbillon hypercar, the collection embodies the artistry, innovation, and luxury that define Bugatti.
“With the launch of the Tourbillon, Bugatti begins a new chapter in its illustrious story. We recognized this as the perfect moment to evolve the eyewear collection in parallel – combining innovation with deep respect for Ettore Bugatti’s enduring design philosophy.”

Creative Director of OBI, addedAt the collection’s core is the Tourbillon Limited Edition – a mesmerizing, 3D-printed titanium frame inspired by the aerodynamic rear design of the Tourbillon car. Staying true to Ettore Bugatti’s adage of ‘Nothing is too beautiful’, the frame is engineered for supreme strength and flexibility, sculpted into a visually striking form.
Reflecting the preciousness of the Bugatti hypercar, only 100 pieces of the eponymous sunglasses will be produced and distributed globally – each delivered in a custom carbon fiber collector’s box with a patent-pending 3D-printed polyamide case, modeled after the vehicle’s intricate yet immensely strong suspension design.
“In every facet of its design, the Tourbillon embodies the essence of Bugatti: uncompromising precision; sculptural beauty, and daring creativity that defines our new era. Infused with that same spirit of ingenuity, the Tourbillon Limited Edition frame is a natural choice for discerning customers seeking effortless elegance – delivered in a way that only Bugatti can.”
