Mammoth Eyes — Guard
A modern interpretation of ancestral Arctic snow goggles. The square lenses preserve the traditional narrow horizontal vision while the construction is reimagined through the form of contemporary eyewear.
Made by hand to order. Delivery is arranged with you personally after your order.
- Material
- Hand-carved fossil mammoth ivory set in a brass frame, finished with leather details. The mammoth tusk comes from the permafrost of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), where it has been preserved in the frozen ground for tens of thousands of years. As the ground naturally thaws and erodes during the Arctic summer, ancient tusks can become exposed and recovered from the land.
- Size
- Comfortable and balanced fit, shaped to sit naturally on the face, adjustable.
- Craftsmanship
- The lenses, nose pads and temple details are individually carved and shaped by hand. Natural variations in the mammoth ivory remain visible, making every element of the piece unique.
- Characteristics
- A sculptural collector piece built around the protective visual language of Arctic snow goggles. The square mammoth ivory lenses and horizontal slits create a strong, guarded expression, while the ivory nose pads and temple details bring the ancient material into the entire construction.
Guard explores a new direction for the goggles — keeping the recognizable horizontal slit while moving further into contemporary eyewear. A connection between ancestral protection, ancient material and a new form. Limited Drop Part of Mammoth Eyes, a limited series of five individually handcrafted pieces. Each pair has its own form and details and will not be reproduced in exactly the same way.
Each piece comes in its own handcrafted leather case with the URSUUNA logo, made to protect and preserve the piece as a limited artifact.
