AVIATOR

The art­work “AVIATOR” depicts the iconic sil­hou­ette of pilot sun­glass­es, reduced to clear lines in deep blue. Inspired by the leg­endary Ray-Ban Avi­a­tor, which since the 1930s has sym­bol­ized free­dom, adven­ture, and effort­less cool, the work merges design icon with cul­tur­al myth. Its min­i­mal­ist ren­der­ing, float­ing against a white back­ground, trans­forms the glass­es into a time­less symbol, bal­anc­ing func­tion and myth, pop cul­ture and elegance.“AVIATOR” is a trib­ute to style, vision, and vast hori­zons. “AVAITOR” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.

It’s inter­est­ing that some­one once had the idea to design glass­es solely for pilots, at a time when there were only a few pilots in the world. Today such an idea would be unthink­able, because every­one would say, ‘The market is too small,’ ‘the target group too niche,’ and, ‘there would be no sta­tis­tics.’ ‘No one has made pilot’s glass­es so far; there must be good rea­sons for that.’ It sounds as crazy as work pants for people search­ing for gold. Or a sports shoe just for bas­ket­ball play­ers. Or a motor­cy­cle suit­able for both road and off-road.

What’s inter­est­ing to this day is that the true prod­uct icons that have stood the test of time, the 501s, the Chucks, the GS, the Avi­a­tor, would no longer be con­ceiv­able today. Because no one would be will­ing to take a risk any­more. Every­one always wants a slice of the big cake. No one can imag­ine baking their own cake, or that others might wear pants not orig­i­nal­ly intend­ed for them, or sun­glass­es, or shoes, or a motorcycle.

Back when there weren’t all the sta­tis­tics, sur­veys, trends, num­bers, data, and facts. When people made things simply because they believed in them, because they were con­vinced them­selves. It was exact­ly in those times that all these incred­i­ble icons emerged. Every­thing after that is just vari­a­tion, copy, and deriv­a­tive. That’s why the con­nec­tion to these icons is so strong: they stand for the orig­i­nal, for the origin.
