Sanskrit for fire and energy, the Berlin based eyewear brand Pawaka is conceptualised by Indonesian designer, model, actress and environmental activist, Fahrani Empel (Fa’).Pawaka was officially launched in 2015 - unveiling a limited acetate collection for FW15 exclusively with The Store x Soho House, Berlin and Henrik Vibskov Boutique, Copenhagen and New York.Over the past years, Fa’s vision in eyewear design has been eagerly received by international media, editorial campaigns, endorsed by major celebrities; and selected by Vogue in their annual list of “200 Emerging Designers to Watch” globally in 2015.Pop cultural sci-fi references run along-side what Pawaka is already known for – dramatic edges and beautifully exaggerated shapes – to create something unique.Crafted by hand in Italy, strong in structure, yet simple and minimalist in detail, the collection’s inspiration lies in evolution, Native American philosophy and modernity.
