A rare collaboration between Jean Philippe Joly and Bangkok’s GIMM, Project One is a testament to functional architecture. This is not just a frame; it is a modular optical system. Designed with a seamless magnetic clip-on, the C01 transforms instantly from a sharp, sophisticated optical frame into a high-concept sun piece.

True to Joly’s "designed in Paris, handcrafted in Italy" DNA, the Project One features bold milling and a sculptural presence that feels both avant-garde and remarkably wearable.

  • Magnetic Transformation: Integrated magnets allow for a precise, snap-on sunglass attachment that feels like a single, solid unit.
  • Sculptural Milling: Handcrafted with the chunky, tactile acetate that has made Joly a cult favorite among eyewear enthusiasts.
  • Global Collaboration: A unique design partnership bridging French flair with the curated street-style influence of Bangkok.

Styling Tip: Project One is all about compact impact. With a lens width of 42mm and a generous 25mm bridge, it is designed for those who appreciate a vintage-inspired "small-frame" look but need the bridge width to ensure a comfortable, proportional fit on the face.

Frequently asked

I'm looking to get prescription lenses in my frame, how do I do that?

Email us directly at info@friendsinsight.ca with your current prescription so we can best assist.

What kind of prescription lenses do you use?

We use premium prescription Zeiss lenses with all the best coatings - Anti-Reflective, Anti-Scratch, UV, Hydrophobic/Oleophobic coatings (easier to clean). The prescription lenses and frames both come with a 2-year warranty.

Can you tell me more about the brands?

We don’t believe in mass-produced fashion. Instead, we curate a selection of independent eyewear that you won’t find at a big-box store.

We look for designers who share our values: people who prioritize sculptural design, premium materials like Italian acetate and surgical-grade titanium, and an uncompromising commitment to fit.

Whether you're looking for a bold statement or a quiet classic, our collections are chosen for their character, not their brand name.
